Around MLE money for Grayson Allen in that extension with the Bucks. That’s some protection in case they can’t get a deal done with Donte DiVincenzo. – 5:14 PM

My EEV formula had Grayson Allen worth $16.5 million on a *three-year* extension. Two years and $20M seems … generous.

That Grayson Allen 3-point trigger is quick. – 9:22 PM

Enjoying Giannis Antetokounmpo letting Grayson Allen know exactly how the inverted pick-and-roll for a shooter works in Milwaukee.
In short, if Antetokounmpo passes it to you, you shoot it.
Kyle Korver and Bryn Forbes quickly took to that assignment when with the Bucks. – 8:43 PM

With Khris Middleton out (personal) the #Bucks will slide Jordan Nwora into the starting lineup with Giannis Antetokounmpo, Brook Lopez, Grayson Allen and Jrue Holiday. – 7:47 PM

Jim Owczarski: The deadline for rookie extensions is tomorrow, and while Grayson Allen said it was on his mind before the trade he hasn’t thought too much on it since. Allen and Donte DiVincenzo are eligible for the #Bucks -via Twitter @JimOwczarski / October 17, 2021
