JULY 16: Antetokounmpo has signed a two-year deal with Asvel in France, according to Alessandro Maggi of Sportando.
JULY 2: Lakers forward Kostas Antetokounmpo is nearing a five-year contract with Olympiacos in his native Greece, according to Ennio Terrasi Borghesan of Sportando. The news was first reported by FOS Online, which adds that Antetokounmpo has agreed to accept the offer from Olympiacos.
At 23, Kostas is the youngest of the three Antetokounmpo brothers in the NBA. He appeared in 15 games for L.A. this season on a two-way contract and averaged just 3.7 minutes per night, scoring 0.8 points and collecting 1.3 rebounds. This was his second season with the Lakers after being claimed off waivers from the Mavericks in 2019.
Antetokounmpo was taken by the Sixers with the final pick in the 2018 draft and was traded to Dallas on draft night. He signed a two-way contract with the Mavs, but played in just two NBA games before being released.
He is currently representing Greece in this week’s Olympic qualifying tournaments.
So he’s the LiAngelo of the family?
They should team up
Thoughts and prayers. He will be missed. RIP
I mean maybe he is, but that’s still better then any of us lmao
What the Bucks aren’t going sign him? They have two of them already might as well have all three
he has nothing else to prove in the NBA. hes a champ.
Without Kostas the Lakers are screwed
Bob’s available.
His main appeal is that he doesn’t Kostas much as his brother
Get it?
Bust!!
These lesser Antetokounmpo’s ……. best used as tools, for trying to keep or pry away Giannis from the BUCKS.
Once Giannis signed his max extension with the BUCKS, Kostas knew that LeBron was sending him back home to Greece.
