Antetokounmpo leaves the team for the first time! The transaction value is still top-notch, these three teams are most likely to become the next one

Antetokounmpo is leaving? A revelation from Shams made the entire NBA very exciting - Antetokounmpo let go of his first "playing for other teams". This is not the "pressure-based speech" in 2020, but it has really reached the stage of "the core of the Bucks collapses, and both sides should find a new way out."

The Bucks can't keep Antetokounmpo? The core collapsed, and he couldn't hit the "wall"

When winning the championship in 2021, the Bucks had "big four": Antetokounmpo, Middleton, Holiday, and Daluo. What about now? Dalow is about to retire at the age of 38. Middleton was traded after being seriously injured, and the coach Li received by Holiday was injured again. The former "Four Quarter All-Stars" is now only one of Antetokounmpo.

Although injuries and aging are not anyone's fault, Antetokounmpo wants a championship, and the Bucks want a future - a deal has become the most decent choice for both sides.

Antes Brother's transaction value: 20 years old in history, the "super big fish" that happened once in a decade

Antes Brother is 30 years old this year, the top three in the pure strength league, and the honors are full: 2MVP, 1FMVP, 1DPOY, 7 consecutive times, and his historical status is firmly in the top 20. There is still 3 years of contract in hand, and the transaction value is a super big fish that is "once a decade".

Of course, compared with two years ago, the outside world believes that his value has declined slightly: first, there have been minor injuries in the playoffs in the past three years, and second, compatibility is questioned, relying on space and not being able to play pick-and-roll?

But to be honest, Antetokounmpo's "durability" is already very outrageous - violent play has been 70+ games in 7 years, and even counter-joint injuries in the finals can come back from the front, which is much more durable than Tatum and Embiid.

Secondly, in terms of compatibility, Antetokounmpo is definitely underestimated! He scored the top three in the box history, but he didn't need a "space-type inside" - Henson, who had 46% of free throws in his early years, still averaged 27 points per game with 60% of his real shooting percentage; after partnering with Daluo, the pick-and-roll level rose sharply, and the efficiency of 30+10+6 has hit new highs. What he really needs is "defense" - teammates defend well, and his characteristics of pushing fast attacks can maximize and the team compete for the championship.

3 The next potential players: Rockets, Spurs, and Thunder, who is the most promising?

Rockets: Defensive strong team + lack of offensive starting point, Antetokounmpo "in one step"

Rockets are second in the Western Conference this season, with defense as hard as steel bars, but offense lacks stable starting point - Shen Jing has a 49% shooting percentage averaged 20+ per game, and others have not reached 20. Antetokounmpo is here to directly solve the offensive problem. In terms of chips, the Rockets have Jaylen Green (33 million contract, poor defense, chaotic offense, and "meat ticket") and Amen Thompson (high potential, high trading value). Use Green + Amen + some rotation + first round to form the top market quotations. Keeping Shin Kyung, Smith, Van Vleet, plus Antetokounmpo, the West immediately has a strong team.

Spurs: No. 2 pick + talent, can you leverage Antetokounmpo?

The Spurs have drawn the No. 2 draw this year, and this "possible" draw is a trading tool. They have many bargaining chips: Fox (37 million, but most likely not to move), Wassel's performance this season is unsatisfactory (30 million contracts may become the trading subject), Barnes / KJ (all 20 million contracts can be chosen one), Sohan may also become trading chips, but his annual salary of 7 million is really too small, and the best rookie Castle (scratched out half of the lottery) and the Spurs should also choose one.

But the Spurs also have many problems: they have no system for many years, the new coach Mickey has no experience, and Fox compatibility is average. Even if Antetokounmpo is exchanged for Antetokounmpo, the literary class + Antetokounmpo combination is strong, but the other players and coaching systems are not straightened out, and the championship is still in vain.

Thunder: Favorites in the championship + a large number of chips, is the only way to upgrade Antetokounmpo?

The Thunder are currently the favorite to compete for the championship, with top defense but relying on Alexander for offense. If they don't win this year, they may use Harten + Jaylen Williams + a lot of first-round Antetokounmpo. Harten has been upgraded to Antetokounmpo, paired with Chet (young version of Daluo), and the offensive limit is directly full.

But if the Thunder wins the championship, they may not touch the existing lineup - after all, they are already top-level teams with "strong defense, weak offense, and weak attack", and Antetokounmpo's arrival is "icing on the cake", but it may not be necessary. Is the transaction difficult to implement? Antetokounmpo may “regret”

Antetokounmpo’s transaction value is too high, so it is normal to exchange it for “young super potential + large number of first rounds + rotation”. But in the 30 teams in the league, those who have demand (big cities, championship teams) have no bargaining chips, and those who have chips (Rockets, Spurs, Thunder) may not be able to impress Antetokounmpo (he prefers big cities).

What is even more heartbreaking is that Antetokounmpo just renewed his three-year contract last year - the teams that want to leave are "emptying the future", few teams who can go, and their chances of winning the championship are greatly reduced. He may have discovered that if he stays in the Bucks, he will at least have "hometown feelings"; if he leaves the team, he may "can't go where he wants to go."

For Antetokounmpo, at the age of 30, he still has his peak for many years. Should he stay with the Bucks to "hit the wall" or go to the new team to "chase his dreams"? No matter which path he chooses, his career is destined to write more legends. And we just need to move the small stool and wait for this "super deal" to be finally implemented.
