Goodbye Antetokounmpo? Five potential trading plans are released! The Rockets chips are so tempting, and they will strive for the championship next season

1:50pm, 19 May 2025【Basketball】

The playoffs are still in full swing, but more teams have gone home to fish and are beginning to consider offseason operations and future prospects. During this summer's offseason, there are quite a few big fish in the trading market, such as Zion of the Pelicans, Durant of the Suns, and Antetokounmpo of the Bucks, all of whom are likely to leave the team. It is not surprising that Durant left, because he has been wandering on the road of group life in his career, and if he can't beat it, he will join. Antetokounmpo also changed his mind to leave, which is a bit shocking, because as one of the few active players, Titokou has been with the Bucks for 12 seasons. However, the letters are also helpless. After all, the Bucks are now setting sun, and they have been in the first round of the playoffs for three consecutive years. They are no longer competitive in the championship. The famous reporter Shams said that this is the first time Antetokounmpo has considered leaving the Bucks in his career. There is no doubt that whoever gets Antetokounmpo will become the biggest favorite to compete for the championship next season. US media BR has given 5 trading plans for letters.

Spurs 7 for 1 trade

The specific trading details are:

Spurs get: Antetokounmpo. The Bucks got: Castle, Sohan, Kelden Johnson and 4 first-round picks.

The Spurs have been in a period of rapid growth in the past two years, and the arrival of Wenban Yama has become their turning point. This season, the Spurs had a chance to turn the tables, from playing bad teams to striving for the playoffs, but unfortunately Wenban encountered the impact of a thrombosis injury in the second half and was reimbursed in advance. However, the winning rate of the Spurs in the regular season this season has increased to 41.5%, which has been greatly improved compared with the past few years. The Spurs have clarified their ideas for building the team, which is to play around the literary team. They will spare no effort to gradually improve the team's immediate combat effectiveness in the future. Winning Antetokounmpo is definitely a good choice. The inside no-fly zone composed of letters and literary classes has a terrifying deterrence. At the same time, they still have a certain amount of space. The three-point output and efficiency of the literary class will become higher and higher in the future. The letters and literary classes will be in the DPOY level, and the defense is both DPOY level. This combination is invincible, and they also have a defender star Fox, so it is not a dream to attack the championship.

Thunder 7 for 1 transaction

The specific transaction details are:

Thunder gets: Antetokounmpo. The Bucks got: Haltenstein, Carson Wallace, Nikola Topic and 4 first-round picks.

Although the Thunder have been ranked first in the Western Conference for two consecutive years, they still need to make lineup adjustments. On the one hand, there are too many young players, and making appropriate choices is a good thing for the players and the team's subsequent development. On the other hand, the Thunder are strong, but they always feel that they are short of something. The dominance in the playoffs is slightly insufficient because there are too few super stars, only Alexander, and Alexander has not proved himself in the playoffs. If they can get Antetokounmpo, their ceiling will be increased. However, this trading plan is actually not very favorable. First of all, the Bucks probably don't like it on the chips. You, the Thunder, will at least have a young player of Chet or Jewish. Secondly, whether Antetokounmpo and Alexander are compatible will be a question. Both of them end at close range, and being present may cause offensive congestion.

Warriors 3 for 1 transaction

The specific transaction details are:

Warriors get: Antetokounmpo. The Bucks got: Jimmy Butler, 2 future first-round picks.

After being eliminated by the Timberwolves, it is inevitable that the Warriors will adjust their lineup this summer. We must make good use of the championship window period in the last few years of Curry's career. To be honest, the trading plan given by BR is still a bit outrageous. The Bucks are not that stupid and it is impossible to trade letters for Butler alone. But in my opinion, if the Warriors really want to chase Antetokounmpo, they can continue to increase their bargaining chips. They still have two first-round picks to use, and they can do it together in the 4 first-round rounds. Add a Kumingga, which seems more reasonable. The combination of letters and Curry has indeed been full of deterrence. Curry has not yet cooperated with such a superstar with a strong impact under the basket.

Nets 9 for 1 transaction

The specific transaction details are:

Nets get: Antetokounmpo. The Bucks got: Clarkston, Cloney, Keane Johnson, and 6 future first-round picks.

The Nets have been ups and downs in recent years. From the three major stars Durant, Harden and Irving competed for the championship in the same team, to the point where they have been demolished in scattered positions, which is indeed a bit sad. Of course, the Nets' advantage is that they are in a big city and have the spotlight in New York, so it will not be too difficult for them to rebuild. In the words of the New York team, the Nets now have a salary space ahead of the league (over $50 million), and also hold the most draft assets in the future - a total of 31 draft picks, including 15 first-round picks. Their purpose of hoarding these assets is not to select people one by one, but to take action at any time when the right superstar appears. If Antetokounmpo leaves the team, he will undoubtedly be this suitable superstar.

Rockets 7 for 1 trade

The specific transaction details are:

Rockets get: Antetokounmpo. The Bucks got: Jaylen Green, Jabbarry Smith Jr., Shepard, Whitmore and three first-round picks.

Rockets are Antetokounmpo's most powerful contender. Their problems are actually similar to those of the Thunder. There are too many young players and their talents are about to overflow. For zero to complete is a better choice. The Rockets also made a breakthrough this year and were able to play second in the Western Conference in the regular season. Of course, there is indeed some lack of experience in the playoffs, which requires the support of superstars to help them increase the ceiling. Moreover, the Rockets can provide a lot of bargaining chips, with more outstanding potential stars as assets, and there is no shortage of draft picks. According to NBC reporters, only Amen Thompson in the Rockets team is non-selling. If the Bucks need it, Shin Kyung may be traded - this is a very important position, considering that Shin Kyung has just experienced an explosive season performance and signed a five-year, $185 million renewal contract. It seems that the Rockets are really going to give it their best to win the letters.

Which transaction do you think is the most reasonable and most likely to happen?
