175 million US dollars in 3 years! No. 1 in the league! Antetokounmpo s departure countdown, the NBA is about to change

12:44am, 9 October 2025【Basketball】

Competitive sports, success and defeat of the king. After the NBA training camp started, Antetokounmpo made it clear in an interview. He said bluntly: I have achieved all the established goals, won medals for the national team, and won the NBA championship, but I still want more - win another medal for the national team, and win another NBA championship! Antetokounmpo has been a man and a city every day for 2013, winning one championship and one NBA Cup championship, which is the new soul of the Bucks. But then again, this Bucks has been broken, with only two players selected for the top 100 stars in the new season - Antetokounmpo ranked 4th, and Turner ranked 57th. Such a configuration is obviously not enough to support Antetokounmpo’s dream of winning.

According to NBA famous reporter Shams, Antetokounmpo will closely monitor the performance of the Bucks and the league's trends in the new season. He and his agent are already studying which teams can get him. According to Shams, the Bucks were eliminated in the first round for three consecutive years. Antetokounmpo had evaluated the future in the offseason, and he was worried about whether the team's new lineup could continue to compete for the championship. NBA famous artist Perkins pointed out incisively: Antetokounmpo wants to leave but dare not say it. The Bucks also understand it, but pretend to be confused. I am 100% sure Antetokounmpo will not wear the Bucks jersey after the end of this season.

First of all, we must admit the fact that Antetokounmpo is still a super giant at the MVP level, and his whereabouts can affect the alliance structure. Last season, Antetokounmpo played 67 games, averaging 30.4 points + 11.9 rebounds + 6.5 assists + 1.2 blocks, and averaged 19.8 points in the penalty area, ranking first in the league. In the five playoffs, Antetokounmpo averaged 33 points per game (No. 1 in the league) + 15.4 rebounds + 6.6 assists + 1 steal + 1 block. This is Antetokounmpo. He eats everything with one move. His unparalleled lethality allows him to walk sideways in the league. The king of the penalty area is so delicious. Antetokounmpo's contract has 3 years and 175 million US dollars left, and he is eligible to sign a four-year, 275 million US dollars in super maximum salary contract next year. Looking at the NBA, once Antetokounmpo is determined to apply to leave the team, at least three teams will become Antetokounmpo's potential favorite next home.

The first team is the New York Knicks. According to NBA famous reporter Shams, the Bucks and the Knicks discussed Antetokounmpo's trading plan this offseason, and Antetokounmpo himself has a strong interest in joining the Knicks. The Knicks' main trading chip is Bridges, but the Knicks' non-player assets only have 1 first round + 3 first round swap rights + 8 second rounds, which weakens their ability to give overwhelming quotes to the Bucks. Bridges just signed a four-year, $150 million contract extension during the offseason, which means he will not be used for trading until February next year. Of course, the Knicks can completely pursue Antetokounmpo at the cost of sacrificing the depth of the lineup. Once they get what they want, the Eastern Conference may really have a finale. The second team is the Houston Rockets. The Houston Rockets are determined to win the championship after introducing Durant, but Van Jordan's injury has made the Rockets' prospects for the championship more uncertain. The Rockets have enough Plan B, one of which is to use the five death rosters to play the suffocating iron-blooded basketball, and this is Antetokounmpo's strength. The Rockets have 9 first-round picks and 4 second-round picks for trading, and there are enough potential new stars. They can fully promote big deals, allowing Antetokounmpo, Durant, Shin Kyung and Amen to join forces. This is the ultimate version of the five death rosters. The third team is the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs are Wenban Yama's team. They just offered Fox a four-year, $222 million maximum salary contract in the offseason. The Spurs have taken a big step on the road to reconstruction, returning to the playoffs is the first step, and returning to the championship ranks is just around the corner. The Spurs have 7 first-round picks + 3 first-round swap rights + 16 second-round picks for trading. In the words of NBA salary expert Bobby Marks, the Spurs' trading chips are too rich, which will make the Bucks irresistible! Just imagine, will the combination of Wenban Yama + Antetokounmpo reshape the glory of Admiral + Duncan?

Antes Brother's wife and children have left Milwaukee and settled in Greece forever. How long can Antes Brother stay with the Bucks? US media ESPN reporter Windhorst also pointed out: The outside world always believes that Antetokounmpo's life in Milwaukee is limited after all, and he will leave the Bucks sooner or later. The countdown to Antetokounmpo's departure is that no matter he ends up going to the Knicks, Rockets, Spurs or other teams, the NBA will change. Antetokounmpo has the ability to rewrite the league pattern! The Bucks are powerless in this regard. All they can do is to give Antetokounmpo a ride, try to exchange for more future assets, or learn from the Mavericks, and see where Antetokounmpo is sent to exchange for a No. 1 pick! Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
