Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 2165677, member: 1674"] I think the goal was to keep him at less than the max due to the uncertainty around the CBA at the time. If he had signed a max deal, it could have turned out to be worth far more than the Bucks had anticipated. I also don't think the Bucks are really afraid of him ever wanting to leave; Giannis has become really attached to the city of Milwaukee. Obviously that could change by the time his contract is up again, but the Bucks seem to be going in the right direction. We'll see though. I'd also guess they didn't want Giannis at 5 years and Jabari at 4 and have the potential of losing both the same year. [/QUOTE]
