US media envisions 8 types of Bucks transactions: 5 transaction letters + 3 reinforcements, Lake Yongxia Lu Sifang transaction

The Bucks won the championship in 2021 and have been a strong contender for the championship for the past years. However, they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs in the past seasons, and have never broken through the second round after winning the championship. They have also spent a lot of money on salary and luxury tax, but have only won one round of the series. What actions can the Bucks take to get the team back on track this summer? The US media also conceived 8 plans, let’s take a look.

Three potential plans for building Antetokounmpo team

1. Bucks won: Wendell Carter Jr., Ayo Dausum, Jet Howard

Magic won: Pat Connaughton, Jay Smith, Jewan Carter, 2031 first round pick, 2032 first round swap rights

Bulls won: Kyle Kuzma , Andre Jackson Jr. 2031 second round pick

This deal is a big bet for the Bucks. Give up Kuzma and emptied future draft picks, but it also solved the urgent problem, made up for Lillard's injury-free point guard vacancy, found a replacement center for Daluo, improved the Bucks' defensive strength, and the lineup was younger and had development potential.

2. The Bucks won: Cameron Johnson

Nets won: Kyle Kuzma, 2031 first round pick, 2032 first round swap rights

The best player who can trade to assist Antetokounmpo at this stage is Johnson. Although he has not been selected as the All-Star, he has made great progress in the Nets to make up for the outside vacancy after Middleton left. For the Nets, the first round pick in two years is quite attractive.

3. The Bucks won: Bradley Bill, Reus O'Neal, this year's No. 29 pick

Suns won: Pat Connaughton, Damian Lillard

Bill and Lillard have a reasonable degree of exchange, but Bill needs to give up the veto power of the transaction. Bills are more suitable for the Bucks, and they will have more opportunities to hold the ball, and can open up space for Antetokounmpo. O'Neal Jr. can also increase the depth of the wing, and a first-round final draft pick can also strengthen other positions of the team.

The five potential trading plans to send Antetokounmpo away

1. The Rockets won: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Pat Connaughton

The Bucks won: Alperen Shinkin, Cameron Whitmore, Reed Shepard, Jock Landale, this year's No. 10 pick, the Suns' first round pick in 2027, and the 2028 first round pick in 2}

Antetokounmpo is not untradable at all, but the Bucks will definitely get the highest returns. The Rockets are the team that the West desires most offensive firepower. Although Shen Jing can support the offensive system, Antetokounmpo, who is at its peak, is enough to assume the offensive core of any team. Getting Antetokounmpo can greatly reduce the Rockets' demand for organizing centers.

2. Raptors won: Giannis Antetokounmpo

Bucks won: Scotty Barnes, Grady Dick, O'Qi Abakki, this year's No. 9 pick, 2029 first round pick, 2031 first round pick, 2031 first round pick, 2}

Antetokounmpo's CEO Ujerry has a deep relationship, and the Raptors will definitely want to return to the championship quickly. Getting Antetokounmpo will have an immediate effect. Barnes is also the most attractive player to the Bucks. The Bucks do not have a large number of future draft picks and no motivation to play badly. Through this deal, the Raptors have also achieved an upgrade in combat power, while the Bucks have built a future lineup around Barnsdick.

3, Spurs won: Giannis Antetokounmpo

Bucks won: Harrison Barnes, Kelden Johnson, Jeremy Sohan, this year's second pick, 2026 first round pick (higher pick between the Hawks and the Spurs), 2028 first round pick (higher pick between the Celtics and the Spurs), 2030 first round pick (highest pick between the Mavericks, Timberwolves and the Spurs), 2031 first round pick The right to exchange (the Bucks can be exchanged for the higher pick between the Kings and the Spurs)

21-year-old Wenban Yama has already ranked among the top ten players in the league. If he can combine with Antetokounmpo, he can immediately create a championship lineup for the Spurs. The outside-facing dominance of Wenban Yama and Antetokounmpo are a perfect match. The Bucks can also get former lottery pick Sohan and instant players to ensure that the team can maintain competitiveness.

4. Pistons won: Giannis Antetokounmpo

Bucks won: Tobias Harris, Jaden Ivey, Isaiah Stewart, 2027 first round pick, 2029 first round pick, 2031 first round pick, 2031 first round pick, 2}

The Pistons, who returned to the playoffs after six years, have shown their strength to be comparable to the Knicks. The introduction of super giants like Antetokounm can help the best defender Cunningham attack the throne of the East faster. The Bucks will be cautious about the deals in the same season, but Ivey has shown his talent and shining points. Stewart is also a hard-core rebounder and can also help the Bucks maintain their competitiveness.

5. Warriors won: Giannis Antetokounmpo

Lakers won: Draymond Green, Daniel Gafford

Mavericks won: Gab Vincent, the Lakers' first round pick in 2031, this year's No. 41 pick

Bucks won: Austin Reeves, Brandin Pojemsky, Jonathan Cumingga (sign first and then exchange), Teres Jackson Davis, Maxi Claiber, the Warriors' first round pick in 2029, the Warriors' first round pick in 2031, and the Lakers' first round swap rights in 2030

The Warriors have always been regular visitors to trading superstars. If Antetokounmpo is designated to join the Warriors, the US media also boldly imagined a four-party deal that can change the league. The Warriors sacrifice the depth of the lineup to create Curry's Antetokounmpo Butler's super three. The Lakers have been given a center to improve their defense, the Mavericks have supplemented their future first-round picks and point guard capabilities, and the Bucks have gained a number of potential superstars and future draft picks.
