NBA franchise Milwaukee Bucks are confident in getting Giannis Antetokounmpo to sign a five-year supermax contract worth around $220 million. The 25-year-old will go onto be one of the biggest free agents in the market if he chooses not to pen this deal with the Bucks.
While several franchises have their eye set on Giannis, authorities of the Milwaukee Bucks remain positive that the power forward will extend his stay. If Giannis chooses to remain with the Bucks, then he will arguably sign the largest contract in the history of the league after already having been eligible for a supermax contract.
Earning All-NBA for a second consecutive season now has Giannis Antetokounmpo eligible in the summer of 2020 to sign the largest contract in NBA history. The five-year extension starting in 2021-22 would be worth $247.3M and carry a $42.6, $46.0, $49.5, $52.9 and $56.3M cap hit.
