Unfortunately there is also the possibility of him just walking a la KD and the Bucks getting absolutely nothing.
Yeh that is certainly a possibility. If I was his agent, I would encourage him to sign the max contract. Milwaukee has done everything they could to produce a winner, they seem like a well run organization and they have a state of the art arena. If things don't work out, he can request a trade a couple years in and go pretty much wherever he wants. All while not leaving the franchise that believed in him high and dry. Not that post game comments mean much but this is what he said after the loss the Heat last season.
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is slated to be a free agent after the 2020-21 season, could hold the league hostage this offseason if he were to decide a new destination is in order.
“It’s not happening. That’s not happening,” Antetokounmpo told Yahoo Sports after the Bucks were eliminated in five games in the second round by the Miami Heat on Tuesday night.
“Some see a wall and go in [another direction]. I plow through it. We just have to get better as a team, individually and get right back at it next season.”
