The Warriors are rushing? Antetokounmpo joins hands with Curry? The 9-for-1 trading plan is released, book the strongest duo?

During this period, the craziest team in the league's operations was undoubtedly the Bucks. They poached the Pacers' main inside player Turner, renewed the contract with Porter Jr. and Prince, and made a low price. They stolen the deal. They cut Lillard and traded Connaughton for Micic. The purpose was to break the pot and transform the lineup, find helpers for the star Antetokounmpo, and return to the championship ranks as much as possible. Since winning the championship in 21 years, the Bucks have repeatedly suffered setbacks in the playoffs, were eliminated in one second round, and were eliminated in the first round three times, including being furious by the Black Eight Heat, losing all face. With Lopez and Connaughton leaving one after another, now, the original team of the 21-year champion Bucks are only Antetokounmpo and Portis.

Although the Bucks have made many operations that are beneficial to the team this summer, their books are still quite limited. Losing Lillard is a heavy blow, and the most critical signing of Turner, he is not an All-Star player, so the letters are still waiting to see what tricks the management can play, whether they can further upgrade the team and truly reach the championship level. In Shams' words, Antetokounmpo will continue to evaluate everything that happened to the team this offseason, and he will ask himself: Can I win the championship? If he thinks the Bucks can't compete for the championship, he will still make a deal later this summer. While Antetokounmpo's situation is still uncertain, the Warriors on the other side have been ambushing an epic deal. Compared with other teams, the Warriors seemed very quiet this offseason. After losing the former champion Looney, the Warriors were still silent. They did not have room and no bargaining chips to strengthen. The one they should send away was Kumingga. Clutchpoints reporter Brett Siegel said: "The reason why the Warriors have not taken action or made hasty decisions to deal with Cumingga is precisely because the uncertainty about the trends of superstars in the entire league is increasing. They have been paying attention to Antetokounmpo's trends, and Alphabet has long been connected with the Warriors. To win Giannis, the Warriors need young talented players like Cumingga and reasonable contracts as trading chips."

So, can the Warriors trade Antetokounmpo's chips? The answer is yes. BR had previously provided a set of trading plans for the Warriors and the Bucks: the Warriors gave Butler + the next two first-round picks and got Antetokounmpo. To be honest, it is a bit nonsense. It may be possible that the two are exchanged in ages. Butler is now 35 years old and cannot change the letters alone. If the Warriors want to get letters, they can only rush and overdraw all their future resources. Then the bargaining chips can be made: Butler + Kumingga + 4 first-round picks in the next four first-round picks + 3 first-round swap picks. If the salary is not balanced, then you will need to make up for it, or just pull a third party. Such chips are rich enough, butler is still at the All-Star level, Kumingga is young and has great potential, and the 4 first round + 3 swap is valuable. The only problem is that the Bucks are definitely unwilling to let Antetokounmpo go like this, but the initiative is actually in the hands of the letter. If he insists on leaving and designating his next home to go to the Warriors, then the situation will be completely different. Previously, a Warriors fan happened to meet Letters to greet him and joked that he would come to the Warriors. Letters smiled slightly, but did not reject it. During this period, Antetokounmpo also crazily liked Curry on social media, saying that his favorite player in 2K is Curry. When a reporter Logan Murdock was a guest on the show, he also reported that Antetokounmpo was very interested in Curry joining forces. All signs indicate that if letters are given a chance to join the Warriors, he will refuse without hesitation. The Bucks have been trying their best to strengthen Antetokounmpo during this period, and it is very likely that they will be in vain.

After all in the NBA, everything is for the benefit, and there is no loyalty at all. If you can cut off profit guidance so ruthlessly, then my Antetokounmpo may leave at any time. Assuming that Letters really go to the Warriors, you can book the strongest duo in history. Looking at Curry's career, he has not cooperated with such an inside superstar. Now Curry has grown older and his efficiency in the ending zone has declined year by year, while the Warriors are just a player with enough lethality in the penalty area. Antetokounmpo can make up for this shortcoming. And the letters themselves are also very suitable to match with a star with top-level projection ability. In the past two years, Antetokounmpo and Lillard have failed to cooperate. It is not because they are not a match for each other. The main reason is that Lillard has indeed regressed relatively quickly, and he is not very adaptable to the transformation from a master to a second master. But Curry is different. Curry is compatible with almost any lineup, and his ability to hold the ball without the ball is the top in the league. If Curry joins hands with letters, what are the probability of the Warriors competing for the championship?
