Second year is non guaranteed. So it’s basically a one year contract in a sense. The option gives them financial flexibility to go after Giannis, and if they don’t get any big time agent, then I guess they will keep him.

From a BUSINESS and BASKETBALL stand point, good move by Riley. You get a defender and experience, and if it does not work out, you can drop him.

If Giannis does not re-up with the bucks, I can see him with the heat.
