Rockets Thunder are out? Antetokounmpo is given priority to big cities, Los Angeles + New York + Miami is the best

Time is coming in early May, and the NBA playoffs are in progress. In this year's playoffs, 8 teams have been eliminated, and some of these teams are destined to have greater turmoil during the offseason. The Bucks in the East and the Clippers in the West have just experienced a disappointing season. Especially the Bucks, after losing to the Pacers 1-4 this year, they have been eliminated in the first round of the playoffs for three consecutive years. Reeves' confused expression made the Bucks fans feel numb.

The more numb, it must be Antetokounmpo. Antetokounmpo, 30, may have been disappointed with the Bucks. What's even more terrible is that Lillard has a torn Achilles tendon and is expected to miss next season. Antetokounmpo obviously won't stay here to waste his youth. No matter from which perspective, Antetokounmpo is about to leave the Bucks. During this offseason, Antetokounmpo is the biggest big fish. As long as he lets go, a large number of teams will launch a stud chase against him. Where will Antetokounmpo's next home be? The two most favored teams are the young Thunder and the Rockets. The main reason is that: the Rockets and the Thunder have a lot of chips that can make the Bucks get the reward for reconstruction. Whether it is young players or first-round draft picks, the Thunder and the Rockets can satisfy the Bucks' appetite. More importantly, the current strength of the Thunder and the Rockets is very strong, which will be a place to attract Antetokounmpo.

However, the American media believes that Antetokounmpo may not go to teams like the Rockets and the Thunder because he prefers to join teams in big cities. Today, The Ringer reporter Howard Beck talked about Bucks star Antetokounmpo in the podcast show "The Zach Lowe Show". Beck said: "If Antetokounmpo asks to leave the Bucks, big cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Miami and Chicago may attract him.

I asked a little a few days ago and learned some rumors from a person, saying that it was mainly those big cities: a team in Los Angeles, a team in New York or Miami - although not a big market, it is also a charming mid-sized market. I remember they also mentioned Chicago."

Antetokounmpo's strength, there is no doubt that he is still one of the best superstars in the league. This season, Antetokounmpo played 67 games in the regular season, averaging 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.2 blocks per 34.1 minutes, with shooting percentages of 60.1%, 22.2%, and 61.7% respectively in the three events; in the playoffs, Antetokounmpo played 5 games, averaging 33 points, 15.4 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block per 37.5 minutes, respectively. The shooting percentages of the three events were 60.6%, 20%, and 69.8%.

Of course, it is completely understandable that Antetokounmpo chooses a big city like Los Angeles and New York. The personal ability, market appeal and market capacity of superstars can be said to be in two directions. However, whether teams like the Lakers or the Knicks have enough chips to trade with Antetokounmpo is the main question. The Lakers obviously do not have such bargaining chips, but the Knicks and the Clippers have some opportunities.

From the perspective of Antetokounmpo, the Thunder and the Rockets are actually very good next players. After all, the two teams have already built a very good lineup and framework. The team is young and energetic. Antetokounmpo only needs to move in with his bag. As for what choice he will make in the end, there will be an answer this offseason!
