ESPN reported on the 14th (Korea time) 'It is true that the Milwaukee Bucks are looking for a trade with Yannis Antetokounmpo. However, no actual decision has been made. It is true that rumors that Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee's absolute ace and one of the league's best players, is on the trade market are likely to become a reality. However, senior Milwaukee Bucks leaders said it was not a reality for now. They told Antetokounmpo that they would have a formal offer and discussion with him upon making a trade decision, the report said.
It is true that the situation in Milwaukee is unusual. It is also true that every situation is raising the possibility of Antetokounmpo's trade.
However, it takes time to become a reality. There are numerous options to choose from along the way. This is a crossroads of choice. However, Antetokounmpo's trade may or may not actually take place.
Already, ESPN and CBS Sports in the U.S. have reported that the Milwaukee Bucks are losing competitiveness. Antetokounmpo wants to win. Antetokounmpo could enter the trade market if Milwaukee does not have a winning record, it has been reported.
Milwaukee is 3-8 in 11 games. It's the worst start.
There is Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, who is considered one of the league's best shooter. However, there is no clutch shooter Chris Middleton. Backup resources are not good.
One-two punch is powerful, but the rest of the role players lack competitiveness.
It's no wonder Antetokounmpo leaves Milwaukee. There is also justification. Milwaukee is a small market.
However, he stood by 'Loyalty'. Antetokounmpo, who was selected by Milwaukee as the 15th pick in the first round of the 2013 NBA Draft, was a monster with a height of 2 m 11, speed like a guard, and wingspan of 2 m 21. He recorded five All-NBA First Teams and four All-Defensive First Teams, and led Milwaukee to its first final win in 47 years in the 2020-2021 season and won the MVP award.
In the meantime, the love calls of prestigious clubs such as the Miami Heat, the Los Angeles Lakers, and the New York Knicks have been strong. However, Antetokounmpo stayed in Milwaukee and led the team to victory. He has been playing for Milwaukee for 12 seasons, along with signing a Supermax contract.
Even if you go to another team to win, there is no resistance from basketball fans. Rather, Antetokounmpo's other challenge could leave a bigger issue.
The most important value for Antetokounmpo is winning.
The problem is that Milwaukee doesn't make a winning record. Antetokounmpo is more likely to remain in Milwaukee if he only makes a winning performance.
