Join the literary team! Antetokounmpo s next stop, joining the Spurs?

Everyone knows that the Bucks have been eliminated.

As soon as they were eliminated by the Pacers, there was news that the Bucks management will meet with Antetokounmpo and discuss the future of both sides.

Although subsequent news said that this is just a meeting every year, in the eyes of many people, this meeting is a disbanding meeting.

It is reasonable and reasonable, and it will not be surprising that Antetokounmpo leaves the Bucks.

Since winning the championship in 2021, the Bucks have only won one round of the series in four years, and all of them were eliminated in the first round in the past three years, and they were swept by the gentleman 1-4, which can be said to have lost powerlessly.

Of course, the Bucks have encountered injuries in the past three years, but if you look at the current situation of the Bucks, there is no way to break the situation:

1. The starting lineup is all 30+ years old

2. The team's salary league is seventh, and there is no first round pick before 2031.

4. Lillard's Achilles tendon injury

5. The coaching seat is in the Rivers

For Antetokounmpo himself, he has been in this team for 12 years. After reaching the peak, he has been in the MVP discussion range almost every year.

The same is true this season. There is a high probability that MVP will be third + the first team of the best team in the regular season. It averages 33.0 points, 15.4 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game in the playoffs, and the first in scoring and rebounding, and the seventh in assists. As a result, such a performance cannot be exchanged for the second victory.

So, as we said, if Antetokounmpo wants to continue to improve his historical status, he will definitely leave this summer, and this will be the best time for him to leave -

If it was the past two years, he was just blacked out in the year and Lillard just came, it is not suitable no matter how much, but this year, even many Bucks fans support him to leave and find a better chance to compete for the championship.

It is conceivable that once Antetokounmpo enters the free market, all other teams in the league will definitely rack their brains to find ways to get him, and among the 29 potential next homes, the Spurs will be very competitive.

According to ESPN famous reporter Vincenster, the Spurs' pursuit of Antetokounmpo should be taken seriously. If Antetokounmpo really considers leaving, the Spurs should have actions.

Another reporter, Jake Fischer, also said that the Spurs are working to build a competitive team around Vinban Yama, and they are expected to ask Antetokounmpo if he is willing to join.

The key point is still this. The Spurs not only care about Antetokounmpo, but also Durant. The latter is still at its peak this season, but the Suns were eliminated early without even making the playoffs. The future is as confusing as Antetokounmpo. The Spurs may not be able to get two at the same time, but they will at least compete to get one of them.

It may sound a bit crazy to talk about Antetokounmpo, but it seems that the Spurs' assets are really not impossible.

First of all, the Spurs have many young people. Without moving the two best rookies, Vassel, Kelden, Sohan and Champani, all have certain value. If you are willing to play Castle, it will be extremely attractive to the Bucks.

Moreover, the Spurs have enough draft picks, with 8 first rounds and 16 second rounds in the next seven years, of which there are two lottery picks in the 2025 draft year. If you are willing to play Castle+, it is estimated that the Bucks will not be moved.

Of course, there are problems with the Spurs.

First of all, compared with young assets, they lack a balanced contract. If they want to get Antetokounmpo, they may need to replace two of Wassel, Barnes and Kelden, which may lead to a lack of suitable rotation.

Next is Fox's contract renewal. In theory, Fox's existence should attract Antetokounmpo to join, but Fox's performance has declined sharply after joining this season, and will enter the contract year next year. How to renew the contract will cause a lot of headaches for the stinger.

and, for Antetokounmpo, the Spurs still have two less attractive aspects.

One is San Antonio is not a big city. After Doncic's transaction, Antonio expressed his hope that all European players will develop in big cities. Under the premise of spending their 12 years in Milwaukee, if they transfer, Antonio will definitely prefer big city teams. At this point, the Nets, Clippers, and Rockets will be more attractive.

The other is Popovich's retirement. The latest news is that Popovich has stepped down as Spurs head coach. He will serve as the team's president full-time, and assistant coach Mickey Johnson is converted to the next head coach.

Popovich has always been a major reason why the Spurs attract stars. After he took off his coaching stick, the Spurs' attractiveness will definitely decline. Although Mickey has also served as an assistant coach for ten years, judging from last season, his coaching level needs to be seen more.

For Antetokounmpo, I personally think that after seeing Doncic go to Los Angeles, he should choose a big city team, but it is indeed impossible to rule out the possibility of the Spurs - among the active players, there should be no one who doesn't want to partner with Wenban Yama, right? Imagine the inner transmission of Antetokounmpo and Wenban, as well as the internal and external defense line formed by the two, the Spurs may become the championship contender directly.

However, the Spurs, before the next big contract of Wenban Yama takes effect, they must make good use of the rookie bonus period in the last two years. Whether Antetokounmpo or Durant, or other potential big-name stars, the Spurs should not miss the opportunity - the Spurs have been silent for many years, and next season, it is time to rise.
