Overview
- At Wednesday's introductory event at the Milwaukee Art Museum, co-owner Jimmy Haslam said the team will resolve Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future before the June 23 draft.
- Haslam framed the choice as roster-building logic, noting the Bucks would either gather assets in a trade or retool around Antetokounmpo, who can be offered a four-year max extension in October and has two years and $121.2 million left on his deal.
- Jenkins was officially unveiled as head coach and, per The Athletic’s reporting echoed by multiple outlets, agreed to a long-term contract worth well north of $10 million annually.
- Jenkins said he has already spoken with Antetokounmpo and described their communication as positive as he begins to set culture and player‑development priorities.
- General manager Jon Horst said players were not consulted in the coaching search, and the decision on Antetokounmpo comes after a 32–50 season, with rival teams preparing trade offers if Milwaukee opts to pivot.
