The NBA Finals are still in full swing, but the league's trading market can no longer hold back. Many superstars may transfer this summer. The league structure may usher in earth-shaking changes. Many traditional strong teams have the ability to compete for the championship, but they are far from the expected results, which also leads to changes in their core lineups. For example, the Suns who were out of the regular season, Durant, Booker and Bill's cooperation ended in failure. For example, the defending champion Celtics was eliminated in the second round of the playoffs, and the star Tatum was also reimbursed, and the team was at risk of a salary explosion. For example, the Cavaliers, the number one in the East, made heavy punches in the regular season and had a full offensive firepower. However, they were timid in the playoffs and became a pseudo-strong team, and were eventually eliminated in the second round.

Of course, the most popular trading market stars this summer are just Durant and Antetokounmpo. Durant's scoring ability is still at his peak, but it has to be admitted that he is indeed not young. Although his scoring ability is still there, his team leadership ability and team influence are slightly inferior. More importantly, Durant's current contract is only one year left. It is hard to say whether his target team will regard him as a long-term team goal in the future. Antetokounmpo is different. Antetokounmpo's all-round ability is at its peak now, and his age is the year of playing. With three years left in the contract, his trading will win the league situation even bigger. It is no exaggeration to say that which team wins Antetokounmpo next season will directly enter the championship ranks and have a three-year window of championship win. The reason why Antetokounmpo applied for a deal is very simple. The Bucks where he works has indeed fallen a lot in recent seasons. From the 21-year NBA championship and the strongest team in the East, to now, it has become an ordinary team on the edge of the playoffs. Although the Bucks' winning rate in the regular season this season has been greatly reduced, with a record of only 48 wins and 34 losses and a winning rate of 58.5%, they are still the team with the highest overall winning rate in the past seven years, which shows how brilliant the Bucks were. In recent years, the biggest problem for the Bucks is that their lineup is severely aging. The remaining players in the 21-year championship, Portis, Lopez, and Connaughton, are all in their 30s. The team has almost overdrawn all their chips for Lillard's trade. Kuzma, who has strengthened this season, is in his state.

Finally, in the playoffs, the Bucks were swept by the Pacers 1-4 gentlemen, which was their first round of the playoffs for three consecutive years. At the beginning, Antetokounmpo did have the idea of ​​leaving the team. This was the first time he had considered leaving the Bucks since he entered the league. He would undoubtedly continue to stay in the Bucks, and it would be difficult for him to win another championship. However, now, Antetokounmpo has actually reneged on his word, and he made an extremely admirable decision: refuse the deal and continue to stay in the team! According to Draftstack reporter Ary, Bucks star Antetokounmpo has made it clear that he has no intention of filing a deal this offseason and plans to continue to stay with the team. His attitude is very firm. Previously, Ary was the first media to reveal that Antetokounmpo would meet with the Bucks, as the Bucks' official reporter. It seems that Antetokounmpo will no longer appear in trading rumors.

has to express respect to Antetokounmpo. He will stick to his own one person and one city. There are few superstars left in the league. He only plays for a team for more than 10 years, and there are 7 people left. In addition to Antetokounmpo, there are also Curry's dream pursuit, Embiid of the 76ers, Jokic of the Nuggets, Booker of the Suns and the Pacers. Antetokounmpo also knows that continuing to stay in the Bucks may be further and further away from the championship. In this playoffs, he has tried his best. He averaged 33.0 points, 15.4 rebounds and 6.6 assists in five games in the first round, with a shooting percentage of more than 60%. He still maintains the number one average score in the playoffs, but in the end he only helped the Bucks win one game. This would be a bad thing for any other star, but Zi Yi did not blame his teammates.

The biggest wrong decision of the Bucks management was that when Lillard came to trade, he was a strong team of two giants. After Lillard arrived, not only did he decline seriously in his personal ability, but he could not find the feeling of leading the team in the Trail Blazers period, but at the same time, the Bucks' defensive system was also severely damaged. He was no longer a strong defensive team. His regular season record has also gradually declined in the past two years. What's worse is that Lillard, 35, suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon this year, and is probably 37 years old when he recovers. Despite this, after the Bucks were eliminated, Antetokounmpo actually stood up to clear Lillard: "The most uncomfortable thing about us being eliminated is that I feel that the team owes Lillard a victory." To be honest, Antetokounmpo's character is really unspeakable. He is an absolute high-quality idol, refuses to trade and is sure to stay in the team! The most talented star in the NBA is born, you are more loyal than Zhan Du. On the other hand, other superstars who are huddling around are not doing perfectly in terms of "loyalty". What do you think?
