On June 8, according to sources, the most stunning superstar in the trading market this summer, Antetokounmpo's farce, finally ushered in a major finale, and the entire league was played with by him. In an interview, Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo made it clear that at this stage of his career, he planned to continue playing for the Milwaukee Bucks, and he had no intention of leaving here, and he did not intend to follow the example of stars such as Harden and Durant in the offseason to apply for transactions. It should be emphasized that Jake Fisher revealed that two weeks ago, the league was optimistic about trading Antetokounmpo, and now it is generally believed that he stays.

Playing for the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2024-2025 season, Antetokounmpo's performance is still remarkable. He played in 67 games in the regular season and averaged 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.2 blocks per game. He played in five games in the playoffs, and averaged 33 points, 15.4 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1 steal per game. For Antetokounmpo, the Bucks boss and management are very good to him. They introduced Ju Holiday, trained Middleton, and helped the former win the championship trophy, the finals MVP, regular season MVP and other honors. Instead of leaving, it is better to stay and achieve one person and one city. Being a hero has the highest annual salary, so there is no reason to wander.

It is worth mentioning that Antetokounmpo stays in the team and has four impacts on his competitors. First, the Bucks were injured by Lillard and the Celtics were injured by Tatum, giving young teams such as Pacers, Cavaliers, and Magic the chance to compete for the championship. Second, the wishes of teams that want Antetokounmpo, such as the Rockets, Spurs, Raptors, and Knicks, have failed. They need to adjust their goals and re-sign, which will affect the value of Kevin Durant and increase a lot. Third, Eastern Conference opponents may adjust their strategies in the draft, and if they can defend Antetokounmpo's wing rookie's net worth may be raised. Fourth, the tactical arrangement remains unchanged, and there is no need to re-study Antetokounmpo's tactics, and continue the Bucks' defensive strategy and game plan.

You should know that there are not many teams who want Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo in the offseason. The first team is the Houston Rockets with Jaylen Green, Van Vreet and Dillon Brooks, the second team is the San Antonio Spurs led by Vanbanyama, Fox and Barnes, and the third team is the Toronto Raptors. In addition to the three of them, Antetokounmpo's choice to stay was definitely a heavy blow to the New York Knicks. Famous reporter Gery Woelfel revealed that the former is preparing to provide a tsunami-style trading offer to the Milwaukee Bucks. In this way, even if the wish is disappointed, he will be slapped in the face.

Now, with Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo announcing his stay in the team, he will not apply for trading and leaving the team after the offseason trading market opens. That is not what he wants to do, because at this stage, he wants to bring honor to the Milwaukee Bucks and realize one person, one city. It should be noted that the Rockets, Warriors, and Spurs who are interested in him can only say goodbye, which is a fate but no choice.
