The Rockets have contacted the Bucks to trade Antetokounmpo Stone: The whole team has no products to sell, and all players can choose at will.

The latest report by Greg Rajan, a reporter from the Houston Chronicle, said in an interview that on the basis of continuing the stable lineup, they will seek to trade stars of Antetokounmpo, and publicly stated that in the transaction negotiations, all Rockets players have no non-selling products, and any player can be given as bargaining chips.

Since Harden was traded, the Rockets have achieved 17 wins, 20 wins, 22 wins, 41 wins and 52 wins this season respectively. There is no doubt that they have achieved initial success in rebuilding. What really tests the Rockets' management and coaching staff is how to evaluate the lineup and strengthen the shortcomings exposed in the playoffs. Led by head coach Uduka, the Rockets ranked fifth in efficiency this season and will occupy a good position in the Western Conference in the next few seasons. Rockets management believes whether the Rockets need an All-Star player and how to trade to get a superstar to improve the lineup to the championship level.

"There is a consensus within the management that the possibility of maintaining the stability of the lineup is extremely high." Stone told reporters, "There was no adjustment in the offseason last year. It was mainly because everyone saw the team's healthy development trend. This season is continuing the momentum of continuous progress, so if the lineup is adjusted, there must be players who will appear." Stone made it clear that the Rockets management will strive to obtain potential stars through trades on the basis of ensuring that the core lineup is not dismantled. The main goal is Bucks forward Antetokounmpo, and the Grizzlies Morant is also within the scope of consideration. At the same time, there is no interest in the older Durant and James Harden.

Uduka also agrees with Stone's idea and believes that the continuity of the lineup is the key to the Rockets' success this season. "We predict that young players will grow significantly, and Adams' joining is an important factor in leaps and bounds. Other teams have succeeded in big deals, but we are confident in the existing lineup structure. " Uduka said, "When players play at a high level, they can easily defeat their opponents, and when they are in a sluggish state, they are more likely to lose. In the offseason, finding players with excellent stability and key ball skills is the focus, and adding stable shooters are added. "

Greg Rajan revealed that Rafael Stone began to contact Bucks general manager Jon Horst and tried to ask Antetokounmpo's trading quotes. Regardless of basketball technical characteristics or age factors, Antetokounmpo is a star that the Rockets are willing to pay a huge price to get. Antetokounmpo averaged 33 points, 15.4 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game in the playoffs. Except for three-pointers, it can become the core of the Rockets' tactical system and become the superstar who led the Rockets to win the championship. The Rockets can provide enough young players and future draft picks for the Bucks to choose at will. In the entire trading market, only the trading chips that the Thunder can provide can match the Rockets.

The Rockets have six first-round picks to trade in the future, including the 9th pick from the Suns in 2025, the 2027 Suns in 2029, and the 2029 Suns or Mavericks’ first-round unprotected draft pick. The Rockets can also reduce the team's 2028, 2030 and 2032 as trading chips. In addition to draft picks, the Rockets can also provide excellent young players to pack together with the Bucks. Judging from the latest interview with Rafael Stone, as long as you get a star like Antetokounmpo, the Rockets can consider trading any player, including Shin Kyung and Amen Thompson.

"No player is untradable. Keeping the lineup continues is not the ultimate goal of the Rockets, winning the championship is our ultimate goal. " Rafael Stone once again emphasized, "If there is an operational opportunity to increase the probability of winning the championship in the trading market or free agent market, we will not hesitate to break the lineup continuity and seize the opportunity to let the Rockets win the championship." Several executives confirmed that Rafael Stone's offer to the Bucks includes three first-round draft picks, Jaylen Green and forward Cam Whitmore as preliminary trading plans. The Bucks have to seriously consider the Rockets' trading plan, which is currently at the highest point in the Antetokounmpo's trading value. As Antetokounmpo ages and the contract enters its final year, the trading value will also decline.

In addition to the Rockets, the Spurs are also contacting the Bucks to discuss the Antetokounmpo deal. If the Thunder fails to win the championship this season, they will also join the Antetokounmpo trade competition. It is worth noting that Antetokounmpo's attitude is very critical. The Greek MVP is open to joining the Rockets and is also considering going to big cities like Los Angeles or New York.
