Giannis Has a New Deal

[Goose85]

Looks like the Bucks have inked Giannis to a 4 year $100 million deal.

Not a bad deal for the Greek Freak.

Good to see the Bucks come to terms before the season starts. Not quite max money, but certainly rewarding for Giannis. He can now focus on playing and not on his contract.

Under contract now through the 2020-2021 season.

This could be huge for the Bucks, if Giannis continues to progress he could end up being the greatest player in franchise history with all things considered (given the big O was only here 3 years, and Kareem 6)... this could be a huge, huge deal for Milwaukee, lets just hope he continues to improve and get to that elite level.

Great point, as it seems to have a chance to win a NBA title you need at least one star, and the problem smaller markets have had is those stars tend to leave.
Keep Giannis and Parker together and developing, and hope that Maker / Middleton and others can provide the additional skills needed to make deep playoff runs.

I'm not comparing Giannis to Durant, but OKC was right there this past year, but now lost Durant and next year may likely lose the second of their big 2.

Hopefully the Bucks continue to improve and have some playoff success, and the new stadium and owners allow the team to make sure we are not outbid on players.
