Where to go to Antetokounmpo? The 8 next players are led by the Lakers, Warriors, Rockets, and partner with James OR Curry?

Don't want to end your old age with "one person, one city"? When the Bucks played the first round of the playoffs for three consecutive years and Lillard was seriously injured and reimbursed, there was great uncertainty about the possibility of Antetokounmpo staying with the Bucks. Antetokounmpo will undoubtedly be the number one fish in the trading market this summer, but because he has not negotiated with the Bucks management, it also leaves uncertainty for his potential next company.

According to the current various signs and possibilities, Antetokounmpo is likely to have eight potential next players led by Hu Yong. Although the Lakers lack trading chips, they should never underestimate the possibility of the Lakers completing a cognitive transaction and join forces with James and Doncic to form the super three? Antetokounmpo goes to the Warriors to join forces with Curry? Go to the Rockets to lead a young team to compete for the championship? Go to the Spurs to partner with Wenban Yama and Fox? Or go to the Raptors? Mavericks? Knicks? And there is also the possibility of staying behind the bucks.

1. Lakers

"Never underestimate the attractiveness of the big ball market to players." The Los Angeles Lakers have always been one of the most attractive teams in the NBA. The history of the "City of Angels" team is basically a "chronic of superstars."

Before the earthquake-magnitude transaction between Doncic and Davis as the main body occurred, who would have thought that Doncic would join the Lakers? The Mavericks' management took the initiative to contact the Lakers management and secretly conducted trade negotiations to facilitate the first time in the NBA's history that the two top ten superstars swapped teams in the middle of the season.

It is precisely based on this logic that if Antetokounmpo joins the Lakers, don’t disbelief, because everything is possible in the NBA. Su Qun, a famous domestic media person who once predicted that Doncic would join the Lakers, now gave another suggestion that the Lakers should snatch Antetokounmpo. He also said that the Lakers' operations have always surpassed their cognition, especially the decisions of trades are often the needs of stars and the will of the league.

The most realistic problem of returning to the Lakers is that the Lakers lack the bargaining chips to pursue Antetokounmpo. If the Bucks trade Antetokounmpo, they will naturally ask for a very high price. The Lakers can trade Doncic, provided that they give away Brother Davis, but if they want to trade Antetokounmpo, unless the Lakers send Doncic, the rest of the chips will be difficult to impress the Bucks (James has almost no possibility of becoming a trading chip). However, the Lakers obviously don't want to trade Doncic. The remaining players Reeves, Hachimura Jue, etc. are not very attractive to the Bucks, and the Lakers' first-round picks are not enough.

Of course, if the Lakers can complete a magical operation beyond cognition and get Antetokounmpo and form the super three giants of "James + Doncic + Antetokounmpo", it will undoubtedly shake the entire NBA league again.

2, Warriors

If the Warriors can form a super internal and external combination of "Antetokounmpo + Curry", will they not be able to take off?

Long before Antetokounmpo could win the championship, public opinion began to look forward to Antetokounmpo joining the Warriors to join Curry, but after Antetokounmpo led the Bucks to win the championship, this idea was once overturned. However, after the Bucks' consecutive rounds in the past three seasons, the Warriors seem to see the possibility of pursuing Antetokounmpo again.

Although the Warriors got Butler in the mid-term trade this season, they also helped the Warriors to "resurrect" and make a comeback to the playoffs, Curry's injury caused the Warriors to be stopped in the second round. What's even more tragic is that the "old man combination" between Curry and Butler is difficult to see the Warriors' hope for the championship in the future.

In this case, the Warriors are naturally willing to pursue Antetokounmpo, but according to the analysis of salary expert and famous reporter Bobby Marks, if the Warriors want to facilitate Antetokounmpo joining forces with Curry, they must send Butler away or pursue one of their dreams to be able to match Antetokounmpo's contract. However, Warriors star Podgemsky expressed his desire to leave the Warriors, and even said that Antetokounmpo is similar to Curry's to the Warriors, but fans joked that Podgemsky was afraid of becoming a bargaining chip for trading Antetokounmpo!

3, Rockets

When the Rockets achieved the second record in the Western Conference in the regular season this season, they unfortunately stopped in the first round of the playoffs and lost to the Warriors to be eliminated. The youth team coached by Uduka is rising slowly, but the weaknesses that lack absolute core are already visible at a glance. This summer, Antetokounmpo and Durant have both had a scandal with the Rockets. The Suns have even contacted the Rockets for many times to seek a deal, eager to exchange Durant for their first round pick.

It's just that the Rockets have concerns about Durant, who is about to be 37 years old, so the Rockets want to trade more to get Antetokounmpo, who is at the peak of 30 years old. The Athletic reporter Kelly Iko reported that the Rockets are interested in pursuing Antetokounmpo.

As for Chris Mannix, an internal NBA reporter for Sports Illustrated, said that the Rockets' attractiveness to stars may not only come from the record and lineup, but also from head coach Uduka. The Rockets have enough young talents and draft picks to meet the Bucks' Lions' requirements. Even Shin Kyung, Jaylen Green and others may become trading chips. The Rockets' only non-sale product may be Amen Thompson.

If Antetokounmpo can join the Rockets, he will undoubtedly be expected to help the Aerospace City team enter the championship. After all, joining a superstar at its peak will strengthen the Rockets' most missing shortcomings.

4, Spurs

The Spurs currently have two young stars, Wenban Yama and Fox, and have won the NBA second pick this year, plus have young talents such as this year's Best Rookie Winner Castle, as well as many other instant players. The future of the Spurs is bright, but obviously they are also one of the contenders of Antetokounmpo. Previously, according to US media reports, the Spurs were interested in Antetokounmpo and Durant, but it was obvious that Antetokounmpo would be more attractive.

Hoops posted a photo and said: "They will definitely win the championship." As for the content of the picture, the Spurs formed the three-tier lineup of Antetokounmpo + Vinban Yama + Fox. The Spurs also have a large number of bargaining chips that can be used for trading, and if they successfully form such a Big Three, they are expected to truly rise in the post-Duncan era..

5. The Raptors once traded Leonard in the summer of 2019. Even if they only had a short season of use, they helped the Raptors win the first NBA championship in the team history. It is precisely based on the success of a successful precedent that the Raptors management is eager to replicate such successful experiences. Previously, Doug Smith, a reporter from Toronto Star, reported that the two-time MVP winner Antetokounmpo and the Toronto Raptors were "interested" in each other.

After rebuilding for several consecutive seasons, the Raptors now have Barnes, Ingram, Quickley, Barrett and other young players in their age, and there are many draft picks and potential rookies. Therefore, they have a large amount of trading chips and will not lose the team after completing the transaction.

As for whether the Raptors can trade Antetokounmpo, it may depend more on whether Antetokounmpo is willing to go north and whether he is willing to become the "King of the North".

6. Mavericks

When Cuban sold the team, the Mavericks started trading and gambling mode under the rule of the new boss. It is true that Mavericks General Manager Harrison has been criticized and criticized by public opinion because he dominated the Doncic transaction. However, when the Mavericks won the No. 1 pick this year, the outside world began to line up to apologize, believing that they underestimated Harrison's foresight.

The Mavericks' "operation" is also unusual. After they win the No. 1 pick, there is also a possibility of trading. Although Irving's serious injury is currently reimbursed, he is likely to miss next season's game, if the Mavericks do not want to wait for Flag to grow, they do not rule out the number one pick as the main bargaining chip to seek a trade to get Antetokounmpo, so as to form a three-tier lineup of "Antetokounmpo + Davis + Irving" in the future to win the championship.

7, Knicks

When the Knicks returned to the Eastern Conference Finals after 25 years, they were sorry that they lost to the Pacers 2-4 in the Eastern Conference Finals, but were eliminated by the Pacers in the playoffs for two consecutive years. Thibodeau has been cut by the Knicks, and there are many dissatisfactions about Towns' performance in the playoffs.

It is still difficult for the Knicks' existing lineup to win the championship. After all, the combination of Brunson and Towns seems to have proved difficult to lead the team to win the championship, especially since both of them are defensive shortcomings on the court.

The Knicks naturally have the possibility of pursuing Antetokounmpo. Yahoo Sports simulates the Knicks' 5-for-1 deal, the specifics are as follows:

Knicks send out: Downs + Taylor Koleck + 2026 first round (from the Wizards) + 2026 first round + 2030 first round

Knicks get: Antetokounmpo

8, the Bucks

unlike Durant's trading rumors are flying everywhere, since Antetokounmpo has not yet negotiated with the Bucks management, there is still great uncertainty in the transaction for the time being. The Bucks naturally longed to keep Antetokounmpo, but they were eliminated in one round of games for three consecutive years, which made Antetokounmpo feel despair.

What's even more tragic is that Lillard is seriously injured and is reimbursed next season. The Bucks' salary structure also determines that they will find it difficult to make a difference next season, and there are also great hidden dangers in the future. But Antetokounmpo has played for the Bucks for 12 seasons so far in his career. If he can complete one person and one city, it is also the expectation of many fans. Therefore, the possibility of Antetokounmpo staying in the team cannot be completely ruled out, but the premise is how the Bucks management convinces him to stay in the team.
