What? The Bucks want Antetokounmpo to exchange Jaylen Green!

1:23am, 19 May 2025【Basketball】

The Rockets and Antetokounmpo's scandal suddenly updated today. NBC reporter Kurt Helin revealed that according to reliable sources, the Rockets are open to Antetokounmpo's potential trade to let Shin Kyung go, but the Bucks tend to trade with Jaylen Green as the main framework, and Jabbarry Smith will also be another major bargaining chip in the trade. After

, another reporter Sam Amico added after Helin's article, "This is not fake. If the Rockets want to steal Antetokounmpo, everyone except Amen Thompson can be traded."

When hearing this news, I believe that more than 70% of Huo Mi's first reaction would be: Is there such a good thing?

Of course, when I was surprised, I still had to check the authenticity of the revelations. Kurt Helin, who plays for NBC Sports, is not a big deal among the top journalists in the United States. He is more like a commentator. He has a personal column in NBC's ProBasketballTalk, but unlike some silly little reporters, Helin's previous revelations are quite authentic.

A few years ago, there were rumors that Harden was going to transfer from the Nets. Although he was not the first reporter to reveal that Harden confirmed the transaction to the 76ers, he posted many articles to analyze Harden's transfer to the next company and repeatedly expressed the reliability of Harden's transfer to the 76ers.

Kurt Helin is more like a commentary analyst, but will send some information about his own source in the analysis.

In fact, today's news about Jaylen Green and Antetokounmpo's exchange of news also originated from a long article written by him at NBC Sports. Antetokounmpo's next analysis "Seven top potential Giannis Antetokounmpo landing spots in a trade" (translation: Antetokounmpo's seven potential next players)

The Rockets wrote that the Rockets were willing to release Shin Kyung's expectations, but the Bucks prefer Jaylen Green. I personally think that the news may not be 100% accurate, but at least 50% correct.

It may be true that the Rockets are willing to trade Shin Kyung, or it may be true that the Bucks want Jaylen Green.

Because of the Fire Deer, I probably haven't had formal negotiations yet (because Antetokounmpo is still on holiday, he plans to return to Milwaukee to talk to the Bucks management in July to talk about the future. Before Antetokounmpo clearly stated the transaction with the management, I believe the Bucks will not take the initiative to chat with other teams). This news may be a unilateral information bullet, which is released to the media for the needs and bargaining chips of their own teams.

From the perspective of the Rockets, if everyone else except Amen is willing to play, or even be willing to play the perfect deputy attacker next to the superstar, it proves that the Rockets are willing to correct the team structure from the underlying logic for the superstar.

And if the Bucks really want Jaylen Green, it proves...

They really don't care about the team's record and completely rebuild, "Go to the top and go to the top and go to the top and the team's record"! The potential on paper is definitely better than Shin Kyung, and Green's contract is shorter, which is conducive to re-destruction and reconstruction. This is the only way to explain it in this way. In fact, in addition to the above news, Helin's article only wrote another relevant person's revelation, that is, although the Warriors really want to trade Antetokounmpo, they probably won't change the team's framework next season. As for the Spurs, Nets, Knicks, Lakers, and Bucks, he just analyzed and had no actual revelations.

If the Rockets change to Antetokounmpo, what chips do you think are more suitable to make?
