The lineup is greatly upgraded! The Lakers and the Bucks trade 6 for 1, and the three giants in the group compete for the championship next season

The Bucks stopped in the first round again this season. In fact, since winning the championship in 2021, the team's record has basically stopped in the first round. Middleton was injured in 2022. Antetokounmpo was injured in 23 years and was hacked by eight. Last year, both Letters and Li fell down again. This year, the Achilles tendon ruptured, almost died in his career. Although Antetokounmpo has performed well, this situation is destined to make it difficult for the team to go further. After stopping in the first round this season, according to famous reporter Shams, the Greek star Antetokounmpo is open to leaving the team for the first time. If Antetokounmpo leaves the team, it will definitely cause a sensation in the league, and other teams are competing for it, including the Lakers who stopped in the first round this season.

The Lakers played in the regular season this season, but the team exposed too many problems in the playoffs, resulting in the first round being terminated. The offseason must strengthen the lineup. Now Antetokounmpo leaves the team, which is a good opportunity for the Lakers management, and Eddie of the US media Yahoo Sports Bitar proposed a deal, let's take a look at how the giants are:

Lakers won: Giannis Antetokounmpo

For the Lakers, the team wants to use the two current stars to launch another attack on the championship. Although the chips given by this deal are overdrawn in the future, the players obtained are worth the team taking this risk. If Antetokounmpo joins forces with Doncic and James, the Lakers will have the top combination in the league, all three of them have it. With the ability to integrate offense and defense, Antetokounmpo's impact power can complement the comprehensiveness of James and Doncic, especially on the defensive end, it can cover a larger range. Antetokounmpo's ball-holding ability and empty cuts without the ball are suitable for the fast attack system that the Lakers are good at, and his three-point shooting ability can also alleviate the space problem. In addition, as James may leave the team or change his role, Antetokounmpo can fill his core position, which can ensure that the team maintains competitiveness in the championship in the next five years, which is very attractive to the team.

The Bucks won: Austin Reeves, Hachimura, Jared Vanderbilt, Dalton Knecht, 2031 first-round draft pick, 2026 first-round draft pick swap

For the Bucks, the team does not have greater salary space and chips to make the team better strengthen. It is a helpless move to send Antetokounmpo out now, not to mention that this deal gets chips that make the team difficult to refuse. First of all, Austin Reeves has a keen sense of smell and excellent shooting feel in terms of scoring. Whether it is a three-point shooting or a breakthrough layup, he can accurately hit and contribute key points to the team. He also has good organizational skills. He can average 20.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists per game, and his real shooting percentage is as high as 61.4%. Hachimura has good strength and can bring strength improvement to the team on both offense and defense. He scored 13.1 points, 5 rebounds and 1.4 assists in the season, and his three-in-one shooting percentage is 50.9%, 41.3%, and 77% respectively. As for Dalton Knecht, he has good strength on the offensive end, especially his excellent shooting ability. He averaged 9.4 points and 3.1 rebounds per game, with a shooting percentage of 46.5%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 35.8%. In addition, he also got 2 first-round picks, which is also conducive to the team to better strengthen the lineup.

Overall, this deal is very good for both teams. If it can be finally reached, please feel free to discuss it in the comment section!
