Really pursue fiercely? Famous reporter revealed that Rockets No. 1 target is Antetokounmpo. If you can succeed, you will really hope to win the championship.

On May 21, 2025, the NBA playoffs are in full swing. Although the Rockets were eliminated early in the playoffs this season, they have achieved their set goals this season. The goal of the offseason team is to compete for a top core player and strive to improve their competitiveness next season.

The biggest rumored stars with the Rockets in the offseason are Antetokounmpo and Durant. Durant likes the Rockets, but the Rockets feel that Durant's age is inconsistent with the development direction of his team, and may not want to get Durant very much. Antetokounmpo is undoubtedly the most suitable for the Rockets. It is at its peak and has great dominance. It can add another big lock to the Rockets' defensive system, and the offensive end can also bring enough help to the opponent.

, and famous reporter Sam Amick talked about Antetokounmpo on the "Real Ones". He said: "If it is possible to get Giannis, the Rockets will pursue him 100%. Judging from age, talent, and time points, he is likely to be at the forefront of the Rockets' list. Considering Durant's age and time points, I can confidently say that he is inconsistent with the Rockets' development direction."

If the Rockets can get Antetokounmpo in the offseason, no matter what the price is paid, it will make the Rockets next season a highly competitive team. I can't imagine what kind of results the peak Antetokounmpo + mature Amen Thompson will achieve.
