When the big fish appears, many media firmly believe that the letters will leave the Bucks, and the Rockets hold the resources and wait for an opportunity to move.
In the past week, the Rockets have always been associated with Durant's name, but more and more news says that the Rockets are not very interested in getting the 37-year-old Durant at all. This series of news is more like the news caused by the Suns, and their goal is very simple, to get back the Rockets' draft pick.
However, the Rockets are not that stupid. TA's Rockets reporter Iko said that although the general manager is willing to talk to the Suns, he tends to keep Jaylen Green and Xiao Jia at the same time. In this way, the Rockets can only offer the Suns, such as Dillon and Landal.
For the Rockets, they do need an absolute core, but the 37-year-old Durant obviously doesn't match the team. What the team needs is a superstar like Antetokounmpo. Although Bucks reporters have made more than once before that Antetokounmpo is willing to continue to stay in Milwaukee to help the team compete for the championship, basically no one believes such a statement.
Not long ago, shams talked about Antetokounmpo's situation on a TV show. He said that Antetokounmpo has not made a final decision yet. Although he does not object to staying in Milwaukee, it still depends on the Bucks' signings during the offseason. If the Bucks don't satisfy the letters, then in July and August, the league super giant who averaged 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.2 blocks per game in the regular season could change the goal.
Antes Brother Antetokounmpo responded to such remarks on social media, saying that Shams's speech reminded him of retired reporter Woj, intending to say that Shams's remarks were not true. But looking at the current situation of the Bucks, it is not that easy for the team to strengthen.
First of all, his most powerful partner Lillard. If nothing unexpected happens, the Bucks must accept the reality that there is no Lillard in the regular season next season. In the playoffs, Lillard suffered a serious injury of torn Achilles tendon in the left leg, which is equivalent to the team missing an All-Star player who averages 25+5+5 per game per game, and their strength will inevitably be greatly affected.
At the same time, Antetokounmpo's two old partners Lopez and Portis also face the issue of renewal in this offseason. Lopez will become a full free agent in the summer of 25. However, at the age of 37, his data has dropped to averaging 13 points, 5 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.9 blocks last season. Due to the decline in athleticism and flexibility, Lopez's dominance in the interior has dropped a lot. If the Bucks want to keep him, they may have to give him a contract worth tens of millions of dollars.
Portis has the player option this summer. For him, he will have almost no hesitation after breaking out of the contract of $13.45 million in the last year. With his average of 13.9 points, 8.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, and at the age of 30, Portis has received a contract with a long-term average salary of $20-25 million. There should be no problem.
Even so, Kevin Porter, who got from the Clippers' trade last year, also had outstanding performances of 11.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, 5.4 assists in the playoffs, and he will also jump out of the 25-26 season, with only $2.54 million in contract. Going for a big contract worth tens of millions of dollars.
So the Bucks are not even sure about the stay and departure of the above players, let alone the issue of strengthening. The only two players that can be confirmed are Kuzma and Connaughton. Kuzma averaged 5.8 points and 2.2 rebounds per game in 20 minutes in the playoffs, with a shooting percentage of only 34%, and Connaughton averaged 2 points per game with a shooting percentage of 25%. It can be said that the Bucks' "Longlong and Phoenix Chicken" combination.
So when faced with such a bad team situation, even if Antetokounmpo wants to stay, there is no reason to support him. And then perhaps half of the teams in the league will initiate trade requests to the Bucks. At that time, the Rockets will take out high-quality chip combinations such as Jaylen Green, Jay Jr. Shepard, Whitmore and Suns Signing, which will be the team's most correct choice. Do you think Antetokounmpo will be with the Bucks next season? Welcome to leave a message for discussion!
