Antetokounmpo wants title commitment before re-inking

Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo shared that he doesn’t want to ink a deal extension when he becomes eligible in September and that he won’t ink one until he’s sure knowing the franchise will continue to compete for a title.

The Greek player told the NY Times that “numbers-wise, it doesn’t make sense” shared that the Bucks still have something to prove before he potentially inks an extension after the end of the current campaign.

“Next summer would be a better time to consider the extension. Even then, I’m not sure,” Giannis claimed in the interview. “I would not be the best version of myself if I didn’t know that everybody wants the same, everybody’s going for a title, everybody’s going to sacrifice time away from their family as I do. And if that’s not the case, I’m not inking.”

The player will begin 3^rd year of a 5-year, 228 million supermax extension in the upcoming season.
