Explode! Antetokounmpo has designated a new player! I really want the NBA finale

Shams: If you leave the Bucks, the Knicks are the only team Antetokounmpo wants to go. During the offseason this summer, the Knicks also negotiated with the Bucks for Antetokounmpo, but ultimately failed to make a move.

Antetokounmpo is now 30 years old. Last season, he averaged 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.2 caps per game, with a shooting percentage of 60.1%; in the playoffs, he averaged 33 points, 15.4 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1 break and 1 block, with a shooting percentage of 60.6%.

The contract that this guy is executing expires in the summer of 28 and has a player option in the summer of 27. The salary will reach $54.13 million, $58.46 million and $62.79 million respectively in the next three seasons.

The Knicks are already the top team in the Eastern Conference. If Antetokounmpo joins, they can basically go sideways, and they will even be the number one favorite in the NBA championship. Last season, the Knicks ranked third in the Eastern Conference with 51 wins and 31 losses, and this year's playoffs entered the Eastern Conference Finals.

Knicks are not only a strong team, but also in the international city of New York. The commercial value and exposure that Antetokounmpo can bring to Antetokounmpo is by no means comparable. They are already in their thirties and should pave the way for their future retirement life.

The Bucks have been eliminated in the first round of the playoffs for three consecutive years, and they have no ability to win the championship after losing Lillard in the new season. Antetokounmpo's teammates are Kuzma, Turner and Portis, etc. There is no All-Star player. It is obviously difficult to win the championship with a single core in the league today, which is also the reason why the Greek monsters are extremely worried about the status quo. On the media day before the new season, Antetokounmpo said without any scruples that he always hoped to play in a team with a chance to win the championship, which was not a joke to show the league's determination to put pressure on the Bucks management.

As mentioned above, Antetokounmpo could refuse to execute player options to enter the free market as early as the summer of 2027, and the Bucks would obviously not be willing to let him go for nothing. Then without the confidence to keep it, they might officially launch the trading mode in the next two seasons in exchange for a large amount of assets for reconstruction.

The Knicks are the only new next home designated by Antetokounmpo and have dealt with the Bucks. Be ready to drop a bomb that is enough to shock the entire NBA!
