Bucks' center Andrew Bogut has set a deadline for the negotiations on a new deal this summer, according to The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.

"These things don’t happen overnight," agent David Bauman said Monday. "But in the next five to seven days, we’ll get our hands dirty."

He will become a restricted free agent next summer if he doesn't come to an agree on an extension with the Bucks.

"It’s always a challenge for small-market teams to keep their stars," Bauman said. "We could do a deal where Andrew gets locked up for six years, and that would take him to 30 years old."

"If the deal is not done by mid-July, we’ll table it," Bauman added.
