The Bucks have resigned Thanasis Antetokounmpo to a 1-year, $2.9 million deal!
It’s clear the Bucks want to keep Giannis. They probably signed his brother because they knew Giannis wasn’t pleased when they waived Lillard. So, to keep him happy, they brought Thanasis back, at least as a way to maintain their relationship. The Bucks’ management knows how to keep Giannis satisfied. They also know that if Giannis leaves, it’s over for them, the Bucks won’t be a title contender anymore.
Maybe, or maybe they’re going to package Giannis and Thanasis as a package to get even more assets in return. Not that the couple million will make a big difference, but when you’re scrounging for every asset you can, you gotta take advantage of what you’ve got. That may be what we’re seeing here.
