Media members, most notably ESPN's Shams Charania, have reported on Giannis Antetokounmpo's potential displeasure with the Bucks all offseason long, and he has even been thrown into a lot of mock trades. Longtime NBA journalist and podcaster Zach Lowe has now chimed in, stating that the key decision point regarding Giannis' contract situation will occur next offseason, not now.
Giannis will be eligible for a monstrous contract extension
Next offseason, Giannis will have one more season left on his current contract, and the Bucks will be eligible to offer him a huge extension. They will likely offer him the full supermax, which is projected to be four years and $293 million.
