The Lakers recruit Antetokounmpo! Reject + embarrassment! He was blocked directly!

On May 21, the NBA playoffs were still in full swing, with the Lakers and the Bucks being eliminated early, but this did not prevent them from becoming the center of the topic. Especially the rumors surrounding the future of Antetokounmpo, the Bucks star, have caused speculation from many parties.

According to multiple media reports, Antetokounmpo is currently thinking about his future, and this time, the situation seems to be more real and urgent than before. Previously, the famous reporter Shams said that this was the first time Antetokounmpo had really wanted to leave Milwaukee in his career. As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a stir in the league.

At present, the Bucks have contacted Antetokounmpo and the two sides have arranged an important meeting, which is expected to be held next week. This talk will undoubtedly determine the future direction of Antetokounmpo, and other teams are also paying close attention to the development of the situation and waiting for changes in the wind direction. However, everything is still open and it will be possible to find out after that critical conversation.

On the other hand, Lakers fans could no longer hold back and staged a "online courtship" drama. Since being eliminated in the first round, the Lakers have entered a state where all the players are waiting for reinforcement. Everyone knows that although the chance is not great, the Lakers still want to make another move in the final championship window of James, but the premise is that they need stronger helpers. And a superstar like Antetokounmpo, who has a strong offense and defense and a strong dominance, naturally became the lover of the dream.

Interestingly, Lakers fans are not just thinking about it in their hearts, but express their opinions directly on social media. LakersBetter, a well-known media account in the Lakers, sent a recruitment tweet:

"Antesco, this is not just a request. For my mental health, please join the Lakers. I need you to wear a purple gold jersey. Doncic's all-time pass will make me excited. Save me, I am in a terrible state and need your support very much. Don't be the next Leonard."

The fans who saw this news laughed and said "too real". After all, Lakers fans have really seen the storm in recent years: the first round of the playoffs, frequent coach changes, and trading rumors are flying everywhere. Who doesn’t want a stable core like Antetokounmpo to save this wealthy family?

But what is ridiculous is that Antetokounmpo has frequently interacted with fans on social media recently, but he has not mentioned this recruitment post at all. What's even more heartbreaking is that LakersBetter posted a screenshot, saying that he had been blocked by Antetokounmpo, and posted a message to sigh:

"I'm worried that he won't come."

From a realistic perspective, it is extremely difficult for the Lakers to really want Antetokounmpo. Their current salary structure is already very tight, and it is difficult for them to squeeze into a maximum-paid star in the core lineup. If you want to operate a transaction, you will have to give out many chips. As for such a price, whether the Lakers are willing to make a sale or whether the Bucks are willing to accept it is unknown at present.

At present, there is no clear answer to where Antetokounmpo is going, and everything is just speculation at the public opinion level. But what is certain is that this offseason, the storm about him will not stop. The Lakers can only continue to wait for opportunities and plan for the future.
