Since the first round of the Bucks' playoffs, the news that the team's core "Antetokounmpo" Giannis Antetokounmpo may have been very fierce. Antetokounmpo did not deny this. After all, he is over. If he wants to fight for a higher historical position, he must strive for the championship and other hard honors, but if the letters stay in the Bucks, it seems difficult to do this.

So expert bima updated the Rockets, if you choose to exchange for Antetokounmpo's set of plans. The two main players Alperen Shinkin and Dillon Brooks are the main bargaining chips. In the plan, the Rockets will make three first-round picks, which looks very sincere.

Antesco has been playing for the Bucks since entering the league. Obviously, whether in terms of market price or emotion, even if Antesco leaves from the Bucks, it will inevitably bring a lot of rewards to the parent team. Judging from the Rockets' current lineup, except Alperen Shinkyung, the only player who can be considered non-selling is Amen Thompson. If you want to get a super giant like Antetokounmpo, you will not be able to reach a consensus without one of them. Considering that Antetokounmpo will celebrate his 31st birthday after the start of next season, it is at its peak and will maintain a high level in the next 3-5 years. It can take the Rockets to a higher level on both offense and defense. Especially from the playoffs, the Rockets' offense is really weak, and many times they need to solve the problem with the stars. The Rockets are stunned, and Antetokounmpo can solve the problem perfectly.

In the current Rockets formation, Alperen Shenjing has comprehensive combat power and potential, and seems to be the first in the team. You should know that he has been selected as an All-Star this season. If he can get Alperen Shinkyung, the Bucks can ensure competitiveness to a certain extent, especially the weak teams in the Eastern Conference. If he concentrates on building a lineup, the Bucks can even stay in the playoff team. You should know that Milwaukee looks at the entire NBA league and may be a typical small city. In the past, Antetokounmpo was guaranteed, and it had certain competitiveness and had theoretical hope for championships, which led to some traffic and attention. If Antetokounmpo leaves but cannot get other star players, he can only swoop through the bad game, which will inevitably affect ticket sales.

Dillon Brooks' contract has two years left, but in fact he is not cheap, but if Antetokounmpo comes and many young players face renewal, the Rockets' salary pressure will increase instantly. Dillon Brooks is very tough. He can stabilize the Bucks locker room to a certain extent. As for those three draft picks, in addition to this year's No. 10 picks, there are also two draft picks for the future Suns, and the picks are not expected to be too low.
