Per Bobby Marks of the ESPN, Giannis Antetokounmpo will now be eligible to sign a supermax contract with the Milwaukee Bucks.
Antetokounmpo was selected in the All-NBA First Team for a second straight season, which means he will be eligible to sign a supermax contract in the summer of 2020.
ΝΒΑ players can only sign supermax contracts with their current teams and become eligible if they have been in the league for seven or eight years and have not been traded since the first four years in the league.
They also have to prove themselves to be one of the most elite players in the league, which can be done either by 1) winning the MVP Award in any of the three most recent seasons, 2) winning the Defensive Player of the Year Award in the most recent season or in the prior two seasons and 3) being named to an All-NBA team in the most recent season or in the prior two seasons.
