With the arrival of Damien Lillard, the Milwaukee Bucks are now listed as the biggest favorites to win the NBA.

With the arrival of the great playmaker from Portland, the coefficient "dropped" from seven to 4,6, for the Bucks' championship ring.

In second place is Boston, with a coefficient of 4,7, since the runners-up "Celts" are now stronger for Kristaps Porzingis.

Only in third place are the current champions, the Denver Nuggets with 4,8.

And Milwaukee wants to further motivate the team's biggest star, the Greek Janis Adetokumba, who was offered a new three-year contract for a total of 186,6 million dollars, Shams Charania, a journalist from "The Athletic", learned.

The deadline for signing the contract extension is October 23, the day before the start of the new season. The Greek has two years remaining on his current contract, which will see him earn $94,4 million (with a 3rd season option and $51,9 million). That is significantly lower than the new offer.
