Giannis Antetokounmpo Speaks About Contract Extension

Giannis Antetokounmpo has reported to training camp with the Milwaukee Bucks and of course, all of the discussions have been around will he, or won't he sign his super-max contract extension by the December 21st deadline.

While the Bucks management team has said it's not a 'Title or Bust' year for the team, many others disagree stating if the Bucks don't make at least the conference finals, there's no chance Giannis would stay.

Here's what Giannis had to say when asked about his contract status with the team:

Opened up today's availability by asking @Giannis_An34 what would need to happen for him to sign his supermax extension.

While Giannis lets his agent go to work, his teammates are doing whatever they can to convince him to stay, including sending him early Christmas gifts...

Giannis said he didn't get the joke behind the pen gifts at first, then thought it was funny for the first few pens, then it got old as he got more than 20 total pens from Khris Middleton and Pat Connaughton.

It's going to be an interesting time around the Milwaukee Bucks leading up to December 21st, and if Giannis doesn't sign the deal, it's going to be even more crazier leading up to next off season.

Here's your first look at the new-look Bucks.
