Antetokounmpo officially applies for a deal! Preferred to consider the Rockets? Stone prepares an epic 9 for 1 quotation list

When the Pacers swept the Bucks 4-1, Antetokounmpo had to face the embarrassing reality that the Bucks were eliminated in the first round for three consecutive years. In the first round of the series, Antetokounmpo burned himself, and his performance of 33+15+6 per game could not hide the team's decline. According to media reports in Milwaukee, Antetokounmpo was in a low mood in the locker room at night when the Bucks were eliminated. Pacers players, including Halliburton's father, all ruthlessly mocked him. This undoubtedly made Antetokounmpo dissatisfied with the status quo. But what made Antetokounmpo even more desperate was that Lillard's Achilles tendon ruptured and half of the game next season was reimbursed. Lopez's condition fell sharply. After Holiday left the team, the Bucks' outside defense was riddled with holes. This team with explosive salary but severe aging has lost its competitiveness and cannot support him in completing the Pacers' plan. Just today, NBA famous reporter Shams revealed that Antetokounmpo had just expressed his idea to the outside world that he wanted to go to other teams. According to the follow-up report from the open-air stands, Antetokounmpo did not propose a potential next player to join, but the Houston Rockets definitely lead other teams. The Rockets, who have a regular season record in the West, showed strong defensive ability in the playoffs, and also exposed the flaws of weak offensive ends. The series with the Warriors, especially the tiebreak battle, completely exposed the young talents such as Jaylen Green and Shin Kyung, although they are talented, they lack dominance on the offensive end. The Rockets lack tactical core on the offensive end and no one breaks the deadline at critical moments, making it difficult for this young army to cross the threshold for championships. After the Rockets were eliminated, Houston media revealed that the Rockets included Durant, Morant and Trae Young on the pursuit list, but now they can completely clear their future assets for Antetokounmpo.

The Rockets have enough first-round picks for the Bucks to choose, such as the Suns' No. 9 pick in 2025, the 2027 first-round pick, the 2029 Suns or Mavericks' first-round pick, including the Rockets' own 2028, 2030, and 2032 first-round picks, which can all become trading chips. In addition, the Rockets have enough young players, including Jaylen Green, Amen Thompson, Ethan, Whitmore, Jabbarry Smith Jr., etc. In order to match the salary space, Dillon or VanVleet's large contracts can be included. The open-air stand believes that the Rockets will most likely send Dillon Brooks, Jabbarry Smith Jr., Shepard, Whitmore and Landale away, plus four first-round picks to quote Antetokounmpo.

For the Rockets, Antetokounmpo's joining will instantly make the Rockets a real favorite in the championship. The inside combination he and Shin Kyung are a perfect match. As one of the big players with the best passing ability in the league, Shin Kyung's ability to support can create many opportunities for the team on the offensive end. However, due to his relatively mediocre physical fitness, Shin Kyung's performance on the defensive end has not been able to reach a higher level. Antetokounmpo is completely different. He has absolute dominance in the interior and has been a strong contender for the best defensive player for many years. With Antetokounmpo's leadership, he can build an indestructible barrier for Shin Kyung and the entire Rockets in the interior, greatly improving the team's defensive strength. On the offensive end, the two can also form a good complement. Antetokounmpo's comprehensive offensive methods and powerful impact will greatly enrich the Rockets' tactical system, making the team's offense more diversified and threatening.

After completing this deal, the Rockets still have a group of young players with great potential. Jaylen Green, Amen Thompson and Ethan can still guarantee the Rockets' future system. At the same time, the Rockets can reject Van Vleet's last-year contract and give them a long-term contract with a lower annual salary to balance the salary space. In this way, the Rockets' lineup will be perfect. Antetokounmpo's rich playoff experience and championship experience are undoubtedly a valuable asset for the growth of these young players. As the winner of the two regular season MVP, Antetokounmpo can not only improve the overall combat effectiveness of the Rockets with his strong strength, but also hope to lead this team to truly become a strong team with the strength to compete for the championship.

For the Bucks, the management has been quite confused in recent years. They let Holiday and Middleton go and trade Lillard and Kuzma, who are not good at defense. Not only that, the team frequently changes head coaches in the short term. As the core figure of the team's management, Jon Horst lacks enough patience and does not have the ability to build a reasonable and competitive team around Antetokounmpo. Under his management, the Bucks seemed to be in a state of disorder, squandering the high-quality assets that the team originally had. Through this deal, the Bucks can quickly embark on the journey of reconstruction. Shepard, Jerry Jr. and Whitmore are all players that can be trained. The four first-round picks can allow the Bucks to find more young rookies. What do you think about this?
