This summer, rumors about Antetokounmpo have never stopped. The latest situation is that according to Shams' report, if Antetokounmpo believes that the Bucks cannot compete for the championship, he will still decide to ask for a trade at the end of the offseason. Until now, Antetokounmpo is still evaluating the Bucks' overall strength and whether they can reach the championship level. What can be confirmed is that during this period, the letters have been putting pressure on the Bucks, hoping to continue to strengthen the lineup. Although the Bucks have worked hard, it is difficult to meet the requirements of the letters. Look at the current lineup of the Bucks, the combat power is good in the interior, with Antetokounmpo + Lopez + Portis, but the outside reserves are very average, especially after abandoning Lillard, many players on the Bucks' outside are indeed cost-effective, such as Porter Jr., Anthony, and Trent, but it is difficult for them to reach the championship level.
Therefore, Antetokounmpo may apply for a transaction at any time to go to a more competitive team with at least a few All-Star players. Now the Bucks are the only ones who have been selected as All-Stars. US media ClutchPoints suggests that the Bucks send Antetokounmpo to the Hawks and propose such a 6-for-1 trading plan. The Hawks send Jaylen Johnson, Zachary Rissache, and four future first-round picks, and get Antetokounmpo: "What will happen if the Greek monster takes off in Atlanta? Antetokounmpo does not fully believe that the Bucks' current lineup still has the ability to compete for the championship. The Hawks have already gambled on Porzingis, so why not Why just go straight to the ultimate goal? Use two years of window to compete for the championship and form a combination of Trae Young and Antetokounmpo, which may become the hottest period in the history of the Hawks. "
In fact, the Hawks and Antetokounmpo had a long history. When the Letter logged into the NBA, the Hawks were one of his trial teams. At that time, the Hawks general manager Danny Ferry received Letters spend the night at his home. If the Hawks had not cut head coach Larry Drew during the season, Drew immediately joined the Bucks and informed the club that the Hawks intended to use the No. 17 pick to win letters in the 2013 draft, so the Bucks used the No. 15 pick to intercept the letters in advance. Maybe Antetokounmpo spent the first 12 years wearing the Atlanta robe. Another thing is that the Hawks have been looking for a new operational chairman since May this year. It is worth mentioning that Antetokounmpo's agent, Alex Salasis, is one of the candidates the Hawks is looking for. If the Hawks finally appoint it to take charge of the team, the possibility of Antetokounmpo joining the Hawks will undoubtedly increase greatly.
If this 6-for-1 deal is reached, the Eagles will be able to gather the three All-Stars, Antetokounmpo + Trae Young + Porzingis. Regarding Trae Young, he has a serious lack of presence in the league in the past two years, and seems to have encountered a bottleneck and is difficult to break through the upper limit. At first, Trae Yang was tied for the two men with Doncic, but now he is being left farther and farther away by Doncic. Doncic has also led the team to the finals, while Trae Yang's Hawks are still dead and hovering on the edge of the play-offs. On the one hand, the Hawks need to make changes to activate the lineup with greater ambitions and help the team increase the ceiling. On the other hand, Trae Young also has to prove that he can lead the team to a higher level. Currently, Trae Young is eligible to sign a four-year, $229 million contract with the Hawks, but the Hawks did not choose to renew the contract, which makes Trae Young likely to become a free agent next summer.
Perhaps the arrival of Antetokounmpo can help Trae Yang break the bottleneck and get out of the decline. Just like the Warriors last season, Curry was sluggish throughout the first half of the season. With Butler's arrival, the Warriors' form improved and Curry was activated. Now Antetokounmpo may no longer be the first player in the league in combat power, but his dominance is still here, that is, there is absolutely no problem with the top three combat power, second only to Alexander and Jokic. Last season, Letters averaged 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.2 blocks per game, and averaged 33.0 points, 15.4 rebounds per game in the playoffs, ranking first in the league. Except for those teams that aim to play badly and develop young players, any team at the playoff level who gets letters have a chance to move to the first tier of the league.
Now the Hawks are already a potential super dark horse next season. Even in order to get the letters, they will send away the second-in-command Jaylen Johnson and last year's No. 1 pick Risache. However, they also have talented young stars like Okonggu and Daniels, especially Daniels, who won the fastest-progressive players and the steals king last season. During the offseason this summer, the Hawks have also made a lot of reinforcements. In addition to trading to Porzingis, they also signed a defender with certain 3D attributes, Alexander Walker, and sharpshooter Kennard, with a very thick lineup. At the same time, the average strength of the Eastern Conference teams next season will be greatly weakened due to the injuries of Halliburton and Tatum, and the chance of the Hawks rising will come. Do you think Antetokounmpo joins the Hawks and has the hope of winning the championship?
