Bucks Re-Sign Thanasis Antetokounmpo, Sparking Fan Reactions
The Milwaukee Bucks have made several roster moves this offseason, including the signings of Myles Turner and Cole Anthony. However, the recent decision to re-sign Thanasis Antetokounmpo has generated significant discussion among fans.
The Bucks offered Thanasis Antetokounmpo a one-year, $2.9 million deal. This move has been met with a range of reactions on social media, with many fans expressing amusement and questioning the value of the signing. Some users joked about his role on the team, while others acknowledged the potential influence of his brother, Giannis Antetokounmpo, in the decision.
Thanasis Antetokounmpo joined the Bucks in the 2019-20 season. Over his tenure, he has played in 196 games, averaging 2.4 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 0.6 assists in 7.7 minutes per game, with a 50.6% field goal percentage. These statistics suggest that the re-signing may not be based solely on his on-court performance.
Earlier in the offseason, Giannis Antetokounmpo was the subject of trade rumors. Despite this, the Bucks have remained committed to retaining the star player. The recent re-signing of his brother is seen by many as a move to ensure Giannis remains with the team.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is expected to start the season with the Bucks. While a midseason trade remains a possibility, it will likely depend on the team's performance.
BNN's Perspective:
While the fan reactions are understandable, it's important to consider the broader context. The Bucks are clearly prioritizing keeping Giannis happy, and the potential benefits of that far outweigh the cost of the contract. It's a calculated move that could pay off in the long run.
