175 million US dollars in 3 years! 53.3 million US dollars in 1 year! The most embarrassing star in the NBA is born, don’t be impulsive, Rockets

NBA Finals have not started yet, and the free agent trade seems to be calm, but in fact it is undercurrent. Superstars such as Harden, James, Westbrook have player options, and rumors about Durant and Antetokounmpo's departure are treacherous. The Celtics and Cavaliers are interested in breaking down the team. The Pelicans and Bulls supermarkets are about to open. Young teams such as the Rockets and Spurs are eager to get a share! When looking forward to the free market this summer, NBA famous reporter Windhorst said bluntly: An NBA executive told me that the NBA will be very explosive this summer! Looking at the current league, there are two superstars in an awkward situation and a dilemma. Their stay and leave are intertwined with the team's fate and even the league's pattern, attracting much attention! Next, let us uncover their true colors together.

3, Antetokounmpo's dilemma

The most embarrassing star is Antetokounmpo of the Bucks. In the 2020-21 season, Antetokounmpo led the team to win the championship and gave up his bold words: I won the championship with a single core! But what is the result? Since winning the championship season, Antetokounmpo may still be the omnipotent Antetokounmpo, but the Bucks have returned in a miserable way again and again. This may also prove one thing from the side: Antetokounmpo's single-core championship is like a joke! Take this season for example. Lillard was reimbursed in advance in the season, Kuzma and Lopez fell from the altar. Even though Antetokounmpo averaged 33 points + 15.4 rebounds + 6.6 assists + 1 steal + 1 block per game, the Bucks were swept by the Pacers gentlemen 1-4 in the first round!

Antes Antetokounmpo's contract has 3 years and 175 million US dollars, but according to US media, Antetokounmpo's management completed a meeting to discuss the future. Antetokounmpo is open to leaving the team, and the Bucks are very willing to advise Antetokounmpo to stay in the team. If they really can't keep it, they will also get back the sky-high chips in Antetokounmpo's big deal! There is no doubt that this will put Antetokounmpo in a dilemma - Antetokounmpo's original intention to leave the Bucks was to see no hope of winning the championship in the short term. If other teams have to tear half of the team and overdraw the future to get Antetokounmpo, then Antetokounmpo's new owner's combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. How easy is it to win the championship?

1 USD 53.3 million, Durant's countdown to leave the team, the most embarrassing star is Durant of the Suns. Durant holds two championships and two FMVPs, but he can't extricate himself in the afterimage of Green's formula. Durant and the Suns have been in hand for 2.5 seasons. The more they try, the more they struggle. The Suns change coach and players, spending the most money and getting the most poisonous beat, gradually drifting away from the championship. In the 22-23 season, Durant and the Suns ended in the Western Conference semi-finals; in the 23-24 season, Durant and the Suns were swept in the first round; in the 24-25 season, Durant and the Suns didn't even touch the playoff floor.

On the eve of the mid-term trading day of this season, the Suns were interested in selling Durant, but Durant himself called it to stop. According to US media reports, the Suns are now finalizing the new coach, Booker participates throughout the process, and Durant is just a spectator! According to NBA famous reporter Stein, sources revealed that no matter who the Suns' new coach is, they will most likely send Durant away. The Suns and Durant will explore the trading market together this summer and end their two and a half years of cooperation. Durant has 1 year and 53.3 million US dollars left in his contract. Considering his age at 36 and his serious injury history, any team must carefully evaluate the benefits and risks of introducing Durant. He may still be regarded as a senior mercenary!

The most embarrassing star in the NBA was born. The Rockets should not be impulsive

Antetokounmpo and Durant are all full of honors, including MVP, championship, and FMVP, and they all have the dream of a championship, but it is undeniable that their situation is very embarrassing. If the team does not see the hope of winning the championship, isn't that the same? Judging from the current situation, the Spurs, Rockets, Raptors, Knicks and other teams are all potential next players of Antetokounmpo/Durant, but the cost of getting Antetokounmpo/Durant is too high! Take the Rockets for example. They played second in the West but stopped in the first round. The lack of star quality is the key, which is also the reason why they intend to introduce Antetokounmpo or Durant! But what I want to say is, don’t be impulsive, Antetokounmpo is too expensive, Durant is too old, there is no need to be eager for quick success and instant benefits to destroy one's future. Following the Thunder and following the path of sustainable development is the long-term solution! Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
