According to Shams, the Bucks have offered Alex Antetokounmpo a two-way contract to reunite with his two older brothers -- Giannis and Thanasis -- on the team.

Shams said it's the first time in NBA history that three brothers have signed season-long contracts with the same team.

The Bucks have no intention of negotiating a trade involving Giannis, but the team is still hoping to convince him to stay, and the signing of Alex was widely interpreted as a retention move.
