The Milwaukee Bucks continue to refine their roster for next season, and one of the most recent news is the addition of guard TyTy Washington. However, the surprise comes with the signing of Alex Antetokounmpo, albeit with a little trick: the addition of him is a training camp agreement with the team.
This news shouldn’t be too surprising, as Antetokounmpo had a stint with the Wisconsin Herd, the Bucks’ affiliate, last year. With the Bucks looking to add youth to their roster, it makes sense that they would consider bringing in some G-League players.
The family connection is evident, as Alex is the brother of Giannis y Thanasis, who are also part of the Bucks. Some fans may think the team is overreacting by bringing in members of Giannis’ family, but in reality, their involvement is limited. Thanasis has a financial contract and Alex will only be around during training camp.
This move could be an attempt to keep Giannis happy, especially after some recent talk about his potential contract extension. However, Giannis is unlikely to change his mind about signing an extension, as significant financial factors are at stake.
Ultimately, the addition of Alex Antetokounmpo to the Bucks’ training camp seems like a reasonable move. He will give her the opportunity to work with two of his brothers and improve his game. After the camp, he is likely to return to the G-League to further develop as a player.
