Pierce calls Antetokounmpo! If you want to win the championship, it is better to go to the Rockets than to go to the Raptors? Aerospace City lacks a big boss

As a top superstar and super forward in the NBA league, Milwaukee Bucks forward Antetokounmpo has always been a top 5 player in the league, and he has won the MVP twice. Although he failed to pass the first round of the playoffs this season, it was not because the Bucks were not strong enough, but because Lillard's injury made Antetokounmpo's side, and coupled with the aging of the Bucks' lineup, Lopez, the starting center, is already 37 years old.

Therefore, it is understandable that the Bucks have not had a very good record this season. But the 30-year-old Antetokounmpo may not wait like this anymore. Lillard will probably spend the rest of his injury next season. If the Bucks do not introduce another superstar next season, it will probably be difficult for Antetokounmpo to enter the playoffs. So, instead of staying with the Bucks, it is better to go to another team to compete for the championship.

There are many news now that many teams are competing for Antetokounmpo, such as the Houston Rockets, Golden State Warriors, San Antonio Spurs, and even the Toronto Raptors are starting to chase Antetokounmpo. It is reported that if Antetokounmpo can be obtained, the Raptors are even willing to send out their All-Star forward Scottie Barnes, and even young players like Barrett may become bargaining chips in the trade. In fact, if any team can get Antetokounmpo, I believe they will use generous chips for the Bucks to choose.

Former Celtics forward Paul Pierce also talked about Antetokounmpo and his next home in a show. He said that Barnes is now the core of the Raptors. Do you want to exchange Barnes for Antetokounmpo? In fact, it's not just Barnes, the Bucks will also ask for Barrett. Can the combination of Antetokounm and Ingram win the NBA championship? Obviously it is impossible.

In Pierce's view, he will be the commander of the Raptors and his chances of winning the championship are not as good as those of the Bucks. Therefore, the Bucks probably won’t take the initiative to give up Antetokounmpo. They may use this form to stop other teams, and may persuade Antetokounmpo to change their minds and stay in Milwaukee for another year.

Paul Pierce went on to say that in terms of the possibility of Antetokounmpo winning the championship, there are many teams that are more qualified than the Raptors. For example, the Houston Rockets can use Shen Jing to trade with Antetokounmpo. In this way, the Rockets can not only retain their core lineup, but also have a position in the inside. Antetokounmpo also has star players such as Van Vritte, Amen, Dillon, Smith Jr., and even Jaylen Green.

With Antetokounmpo, the Rockets are not weak at all. Coupled with Antetokounmpo's impact and shooting in the inside, they will have a chance to compete for the NBA championship next season. So in Pierce's view, if you want to win the championship, Antetokounmpo must not go to the Toronto Raptors. Joining the Houston Rockets is a more reasonable choice.

After all, the Rockets have a large number of trading chips. Even if some young players and first-round draft picks are given, the Rockets can still maintain the depth and intensity of the lineup. Coupled with Antetokounmpo's ability and performance, the Rockets' overall strength will be improved next season compared to this season. The Rockets currently only lack the "master" of Antetokounmpo's level. Of course, the Rockets should be determined to chase Antetokounmpo. If they plan to retain their current lineup, even if Antetokounmpo is interested in Houston, he will not be able to join.
