Wild West? Rockets compete for Antetokounmpo? The team is not selling, the Bucks have an idea
The NBA playoffs are in full swing. As the Nuggets Thunder dragged the series to tiebreak, the playoffs have also reached a fierce stage. For teams still in the playoffs, it is to strive to win and strive for the championship. For teams that are eliminated, they are seeking adjustments during the offseason and making plans for the future. Recently, news has been frequent in many teams, including the Lakers and the Warriors. The Bucks are highly concerned about the Eastern Conference, because Antetokounmpo is expected to become a potential big fish in the offseason. Wild West? Rockets compete for Antetokounmpo? The team is not selling products, and the Bucks have ideas.
ESPN famous reporter Shams recently reported that after the Bucks were eliminated in the first round for three consecutive years, Antetokounmpo has not yet made a decision on his future in Milwaukee. But for the first time he is open to exploring the best decisions for his career, whether it's staying with the Bucks or playing elsewhere. This has made many teams have strong ideas. After all, as the league's top superstar player, his stay and departure will change the team's situation and even affect the league's new season. The Rockets are one of the teams that are very interested in new players Antetokounmpo, and their potential chips have also been exposed.
According to NBC Sports reporter Kurt Helin, several sources in the league revealed that in Antetokounmpo's potential deal, the Rockets are open to sending Shin Jing away. The reporter said that Jabbarry Smith Jr. is likely to become part of the Antetokounmpo's deal, and the Rockets have many future first-round picks, and they themselves and from other teams (such as the Nets and the Suns) may become part of the deal. This may require a third party to join to balance the salary, but it is completely feasible.
Hoopswire reporter Sam Amico said: "Translation - Houston (Rockets) is not a joke. If Antetokounmpo can really get a trade, then almost all players in the Rockets except Amen Thompson can be used as bargaining chips." This means that if there is a chance, the Rockets are willing to give most of the players and draft picks in the team for Antetokounmpo. The only team in the team is Amen. In the regular season this season, Amen played 69 games, averaging 14.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.3 blocks per game; in the playoffs, Amen made 7 appearances, averaging 15.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.9 blocks per game.
But what is interesting is that the Bucks were exposed to be more inclined toward a trading framework dominated by Jaylen Green (depending on their evaluation of Green). The Bucks seem to have ideas about the trade, too. Then, it is still very likely that the two teams will reach a deal. It is very likely that the two teams hit it off, so that once the deal is reached, the already fierce competition in the West will become more intense, and the Wild West will continue to go on.
Shen Kyung signed a five-year, $185 million rookie maximum salary renewal contract with the Rockets in October last year. The contract will officially take effect next season, and Shin Kyung can be sent away by the transaction in the future. At the same time, from the perspective of lineup compatibility and adaptation, it is reasonable for Shen Jing to be placed in the trading quotation. The core combination of Amen, Antetokounmpo and Shen Jing currently has offensive space defects, so Shen Jing can be sent away. For the Rockets, Antetokounmpo will build a lineup around him.
Of course, this is just preliminary news. The offseason has not officially arrived yet. For these teams, they have enough time to think and discuss the team's future adjustments and transactions. Looking forward to the arrival of the offseason, do you think there will be unexpected big deals in the offseason?
