Kostas Antetokounmpo agrees on two-way deal to stay with Lakers

Everyone is wondering whether the reigning two-time Most Valuable Player of the NBA will agree to a supermax contract with his current team, the Milwaukee Bucks, as he looks to continue to push his legacy in the National Basketball Association. Coming from the streets of Athens, it would be safe to assume anything, but Giannis’s legacy is already doing work without him lifting one of his bigger than life legs.

Giannis’ brother Kostas has agreed to a deal with the Los Angeles Lakers as a two-way player. Of course, having Giannis’ brother is an intriguing proposition but being in a position to have a source close to Giannis telling him about the Lakers organization and lore can’t hurt.

Kostas is likely not going to be the key piece to move Giannis from one team to another. But what he is, is a vessel, not unlike Kentavious Caldwell-Pope when he came to the Lakers a few years ago. And the Antetokounmpo’s look to be their own family, much like the family of Klutch Sports.
