CelebNSports247.com has the latest from the NBA when it comes to The Milwaukee Bucks getting a $50,000 fine for publicly committing to offering a supermax contract to reigning NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo next summer.
John Horst spilled the tea about Giannis Antetokounmpo and the team offering him a long-term contract.
Horst said this about Giannis Antetokounmpo Contract:
First of all, the answer, for now, is that we can’t talk and negotiate anything. So Giannis, basically, a year from now will be eligible for a supermax extension. At that time, of course, he will be offered a supermax extension.
The Bucks general manager is hopeful that Giannis Antetokounmpo Contract will convince him to stay a Buck.
The GM added:
It’s our responsibility to create an environment, a culture, a basketball organization where our players want to come to work everyday, players that they want to play with everyday, and they want to win at the highest level. And we’ve taken great steps towards that last year. We’ve continued to build on that. We’re going to continue to build on that. I think we all fully believe that if we continue to put the right things in place and give Giannis the right opportunities — he loves Milwaukee, he loves the state of Wisconsin — I think he’ll be a Buck for a long time.
Of course, the NBA had this to say about the fine via CBSSports:
The NBA announced today that the Milwaukee Bucks have been fined $50,000 for violating league rules governing the timing of discussions regarding future player contracts and permissible commitments to players.
