Forever hold it dine for my side: Lakers’ Jarred Vanderbilt shares on Instagram
The future of the $173 million, three-year extension that Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is available to sign in the coming weeks is uncertain.
On Thursday, Antetokounmpo told the New York Times that he has no plans to seek a new deal this season and that next year’s is a bit of a mystery as well.
I can’t give my all unless I know everyone else is committed to winning as much as I am and is willing to make the same kind of personal sacrifices that I am. And if I don’t feel that, I’m not signing,” Antetokounmpo stated.
After winning the NBA championship just two years ago, Antetokounmpo has two more years and a player option left on his current contract and has stated his desire to repeat the feat.
Although they changed coaches, majority of Milwaukee’s first-place Eastern Conference regular season team from 2017 is back for another go. The Bucks hired Adrian Griffin, a longtime assistant coach for the Toronto Raptors, to replace Mike Budenholzer.
Seeing the dynamics is essential, Antetokounmpo told the Times. The coach’s demeanor and our dynamic as a team. Everyone on the squad and in the organization is aware of my ultimate goal of bringing home a title, and that’s a huge weight off my shoulders. As long as you can convince me that we’re on the same page and we can work together to win a championship, I’m on board. Once I finally accept that, “oh yeah, we’re trying to rebuild,” my animosity toward the Milwaukee Bucks will evaporate.
I think it’s safe to say that the past decade has been nothing short of extraordinary, and that I’ve given my all to the city of Milwaukee. Everything. Every single night, regardless of how badly I suffered. In the NBA, I play for the Milwaukee Bucks. The color of my blood is green. I’m aware of this.The Bucks hired Adrian Griffin, a longtime assistant coach for the Toronto Raptors, to replace Mike Budenholzer.

To paraphrase, “I don’t want to be on the same team for 20 years and not win another championship.”
