While the Milwaukee Bucks continue to try to convince Giannis Antetokounmpo to re-signal, their addition to Jrue Holiday might have been a smart way to attract nba’s Most Valuable Player twice.
In the most recent episode of Brian Windhorst’s podcast
Antetokounmpo is eligible to sign a supermax contract with the Bucks until December 21. An extension would be $228 million over five years.
Windhorst reported Monday that the Bucks’ front feeling in the workplace is that they have “gone from cautious optimism to cautious confidence in recent weeks” that they will remain their franchise.
Milwaukee officially acquired Holiday from the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday as part of a four-team deal that includes the Denver Nuggets and the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Bucks sent Bledsoe, two first-round selections and the rights to two selection redemptions to New Orleans. .
Milwaukee gave George Hill the Thunder, while the Bucks’ draft rights to R. J. Hampton went to the Nuggets.
Holiday is one of the most productive two-way escorts in the NBA. The 30-year-old has averaged at least 19 issues and six game-consistent assists in each of the more than 3 seasons.
Antetokounmpo enters the last year of his contract with Milwaukee. Greek Freak took the franchise to the NBA’s most productive normal season record in each of the subsequent two seasons, but eliminated in the final and semi-finals of the East Conference, respectively.
