Gary Trent Jr. agrees to four-year, $64 million deal with Bucks
Summary

Gary Trent Jr. has signed a four-year, $64 million contract extension with the Milwaukee Bucks as of July 11, 2026. The move raises eyebrows due to Trent's underwhelming performance last season, where he averaged just over eight points per game. Concerns have been expressed about potential salary cap circumvention given the significant financial commitment to a player who had a lackluster year. Currently, there is no indication of a formal NBA investigation into the situation, but scrutiny is likely to continue in the coming days due to the unusual circumstances surrounding the deal.
