Giannis Antetokounmpo is ready to end speculation about his future and sign a new long-term contract with the Milwaukee Bucks, with which the Greek ace will fulfill his promise to stay with the team until the end of his career.
Giannis’ current deal expires in two years, in which he will earn $94 million, with an option to stay a third year in Milwaukee for an additional $51 million.
However, this will not happen as Antetokounmpo has decided to sign a new four-year contract that will increase his income a lot more. The signing of Damian Lillard from Portland also confirmed Milwaukee’s championship ambitions, something Antetokounmpo has always wanted from the management, and now the Greek is ready to accept a four-year, $233 million contract.
“It did not make sense to sign a contract right now because money is not important, a lot of f*cking money is important. So I’m gonna sign it next year.” 😂

“Money is not important, but it is important when it comes to a lot of money. That’s why I will sign a contract next season. I want to be in Milwaukee for the rest of my career, as long as we keep winning. It’s as simple as that,” Antetokounmpo said .
