It has already been reported that the winner of the Eastern Conference “Bucks” ended the fight for the title of NBA champion already in the second round of the “play-off”, losing the Miami “Heat” with 1-4. The Mivloki club star stood out in the nine games of the elimination tournament with an average of 26.7 points, 13.8 rebounds and 5.7 assists. “During the play-off, Adetokunbo indirectly showed dissatisfaction with his playing time, while the head coach of the team, Mike Budenholzer, pointed out that 35-36 minutes is the maximum in such tense fights.
Earlier, Sham Sharan, a reviewer at The Athletic, revealed the team’s plans for Adetokunbo. The basketball player, who can become an unrestricted free agent after next season, will be offered a “super-max” contract – a five-year contract for an amount ranging from 221 to 233 million dollars (187-197 million euros) depending on the salary ceiling.
Meanwhile, Yahoo Sports reported that the amount could reach 254 million dollars or 214 million euros.
Budenholzer can also be sure of his place in the club, because he will not be fired. Under the leadership of the club, there is a mood that this was a season from which everyone can learn something and use the experience gained to improve themselves. The coach must continue to build a team with a winning mentality, supplementing the line-up with players who know how to pull the team at crucial moments.
Also in the coming seasons the team will be built around Adetokunbo.
