Bucks hope to trade with Green as the framework

On May 16, 2025, according to NBC reporter Kurt Helin, several sources in the league revealed that in Antetokounmpo's potential deal, the Rockets are open to sending Shin Kyung away, but the Bucks may prefer a trading framework dominated by Jaylen Green (depending on their evaluation of Green).

If Green is the framework, the Rockets must take action

This year's playoffs, Jaylen Green's performance was simply bad: he only scored 38 points in the second game, but he lost to the Warriors in the total 33 points (7/8/9/8), averaging 13.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists per game. The Rockets' scoring champion in the regular season is only fourth in the playoffs, trailing Van Jordan's 18.7 points and Amen's 15.7 points

Shen Jing's playoff data this year:

Average 20.9 points, 11.9 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.9 steals, and a shooting percentage of 45%!

The trading framework is clear at a glance: 8 for 2

Antetokounmpo + Lopez for Jaylen Green + 4490w Van Jordan + Jabarry Smith + 3 first rounds of the Suns (including this year's No. 10 pick) + 2 second rounds

The Rockets have reached an agreement with Van Jordan: on June 29, whether to execute a team option of 44.9 million, expiration contract + young as the second best + young as the combat power + first round, no team can give a richer bargaining chip than the Rockets!

win-win deal: The Bucks can play a bad match for Lillard, and next year they will get a high pick and win a high pick and win a high pick and win a high pick as the core lineup. The East also has their place

Rockets get Antetokounmpo and Lopez, and Lopez is the supplement to Adams' possible departure. The starter will be released next season:

Antetokounmpo + Shenjing + Whitmore + Amen Thompson + Brooks

Substitutes: Shepard, Ethan, Lopez, and Lauder as the core

Whitmore will definitely not be inferior to Green

if you give the chance, you will definitely not be inferior to Green

! Another advantage: Antetokounmpo can also drive a useless head coach like Uduka!
