That’s why Giannis Antetokounmpo should make his move before the deadline.

Yahoo Sports journalist Tom Haberstroh provides new details about Giannis Antetokounmpo.

To sign a supermax extension with another franchise, the former MVP will have to leave the Milwaukee Bucks before the deadline.

Giannis will be a free agent in the summer of 2028 with a player option in 2027. Over the next three seasons, he will earn over $175 million.
