Milwaukee Bucks signed Jrue Holiday to a four-year 160 million dollar deal yesterday. This is an extension that has been waiting to happen. From all the people you talked to, this was a done deal back in November when Milwaukee traded for him. Holiday now joins the Bucks’ Big Three as Giannis Antetokounmpo is here for five more years, Khris Middleton is here for three more years. Milwaukee has a championship window here. It’s wide open, and now, it’s up to the Bucks to take advantage of it.

Championship windows are something people talk about all the time. But they are a fickle thing. A lot of things can alter a window and change how they look or feel. Whether it’s injuries, coaching change, or a player suddenly wants out, the window can change on a dime. But right now for Milwaukee, they have three years to do something special. The patience that is needed from Bucks fans is a thing they do not have right now. But that’s what they should be doing here. It’s not the end of the world if Milwaukee doesn’t win a title or get to the NBA Finals this year. They’re going to have other opportunities to do it. Although, Milwaukee needs at least an appearance during this time period.

There are some out there who wonder if Holiday is worth that much. Those people are not watching enough Bucks basketball. What Holiday does on the court is nothing short of incredible. He is a great player and maybe the most underrated player in the NBA. Holiday can guard any perimeter on the floor. Look what he did to Damian Lillard over the weekend for a good example. He also is smart as hell and can be a scorer for the Bucks. We’re starting to see Holiday take more shots and become more of the second banana to Antetokounmpo. It’s been fun to watch Jrue continue to open the public’s eyes.

Happy to have Holiday join Antetokounmpo and Middleton as Bucks of the future. This is the first established big three that Milwaukee has had since Ray Allen, Glenn Robinson, and Sam Cassell. These guys are much better.

Let’s bring a championship to the city.

Charlie.
