The New York Knicks can officially put aside their dreams of acquiring Giannis Antetokounmpo...for now.
According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Milwaukee Bucks are re-signing Thanasis Antetokounmpo to a guaranteed contract next season. And as Charania notes, this “also means after a summer of exploring options, Giannis is staying in Milwaukee to start the season.”
End-of-the-bench signings aren’t supposed to sway the whims of superstars. But it’s entirely different when that end-of-bench signing just so happens to be your older brother.
It would be one thing if the Bucks waived and stretched Damian Lillard to sign Myles Turner without knowing which way Giannis was leaning.
