LAS VEGAS — Gary Trent Jr.<\/a> has agreed to a four-year, $64 million deal to remain with the\u00a0Milwaukee Bucks<\/a>, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul and agent Lucas Newton told ESPN’s Shams Charania on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Trent has spent the last two seasons in Milwaukee, where he has averaged 9.7 points on 41% shooting (39% from 3), and now earns a massive payday with the franchise. Trent signed for the league minimum in the summer of 2024 and then got a two-year, $7.5 million contract before the start of last season, but he opted out of his player option to become a free agent again.<\/p>\n

Trent was drawing interest from several teams, sources told Charania, working through potential sign-and-trade deals with other destinations before he decided to return to Milwaukee.<\/p>\n

The Bucks had Trent’s Bird rights after he signed back-to-back deals with Milwaukee. The salary his first year will be $15.2 million, according to ESPN’s Bobby Marks.<\/p>\n

Trent joins a crowded backcourt mix already in place in Milwaukee. The Bucks traded for Tyler Herro<\/a> and Caris LeVert<\/a>, have Ryan Rollins<\/a> and Kevin Porter Jr.<\/a> on the roster, and drafted Brayden Burries<\/a> at No. 10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LAS VEGAS — Gary Trent Jr. has agreed to a four-year, $64 million deal to remain with the\u00a0Milwaukee…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":795980,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[434],"tags":[49,48,280646,167646,459,82],"class_list":["post-795979","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-gary-trent-jr-sports-basketball-player-player-statscom-1060908","tag-milwaukee-bucks-sports-basketball-team-team-statscom-15","tag-nba","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/795979","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=795979"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/795979\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/795980"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=795979"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=795979"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=795979"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
