On May 15, NBA famous reporter Brandon Robinson reported the latest news about Antetokounmpo, the Bucks leader, and Antetokounmpo has three major demands for the future team. Antetokounmpo's first demand is to continue to play in the East. Once this news came out, it was equivalent to eliminating all Western teams with ideas. Previous reports have been reported that the Lakers, Warriors and Rockets all want to get Antetokounmpo, improve the team's lineup in order to go further and fulfill their dream of winning the championship.

Antetokounmpo wants to play in cities with low tax points, but also wants to stay in the eastern comfort zone, which is indeed very restrictive. The reporter summarized Antetokounmpo's three main demands as follows:

1. Stay in the Eastern League to maintain the existing itinerary rhythm and media exposure;

2. Have the right to speak and have the right to participate in lineup construction and coach selection;

3. You can attract other stars to join where the stars yearn, and let Antetokounmpo's existence make this city a basketball holy place.

Antes Brother wants to stay in the East because he has been an all-star in the Eastern Conference for a long time, has a good influence and market, and going to the West may leave the ranks of all-stars. Antetokounmpo wants to participate in the team's lineup construction and choose a coach. Perhaps it is because he suffered too many losses in the past, so he has such an idea, but the team may not have the final say for a star. As for the third point, it means going to the big football market and ensuring that you are still the star and the team leader.

The Lakers and Warriors have been eliminated for Antetokounmpo's three major demands, and the Rockets still have a little hope. The Eastern Conference team lacks a big boss, and the teams in the big market are the Heat, Raptors and Nets. If the Heat would not want Antetokounmpo, Riley would prefer to be in power, then only the Raptors and the Nets would be left.
