US media lists the five perfect next players of Antetokounmpo: Rockets top the list, Spurs third, Nets bottom the Lakers choice

For most teams, the offseason has actually begun. Of course, players can take a vacation and rest, but the management of each team must be nervous at this time. In addition to the annual trading deadline, it is obvious that the offseason market can also allow the team to adjust its lineup and strive to achieve great success next season.

With the Bucks' first round tour again, Giannis Antetokounmpo, nicknamed "Antetokounmpo", seems to have great hope of leaving the team. Therefore, the US media wrote a long article, listing the five perfect next players of Antetokounmpo, among which the Houston Rockets ranked first, the Oklahoma City Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs ranked second and third, followed by the New Orleans Pelicans, the Brooklyn Nets ranked last among the five teams, and the Los Angeles Lakers can only be considered alternatives, and it seems that they are purely used to make up the numbers.

Rockets have the ability to beat the Thunder and rank first in this list, which is somewhat surprising. After all, no one can beat the Thunder if they really have to pass the chip bidding. However, the US media believes that in addition to combining expired contracts, young players and draft picks and other assets, the Rockets are considered the leader in the league, and their demand for Antetokounmpo is also higher than that of most teams. As the second seed of the Western Conference, the Rockets were eliminated by the Warriors in the first round of the playoffs and were eliminated in a dusty manner. This must be extremely disappointing, so as long as the Rockets have the chance, they will definitely strive to pursue Antetokounmpo.

As the Rockets' opponent in the same league and Texas' mortal enemy, after the Spurs won the second draw, whether they retain all these assets or take out some of them, pursuing those superstars, it seems to be an excellent choice. Especially if Antetokounmpo joins forces with Victor Vinban Yama, such a combination will make the opponent feel extremely suffocated on both offense and defense. At the same time, the Spurs are expected to retain one of them this year, and winning Antetokounmpo will basically make this veteran team rise instantly.

The Pelicans and the Nets are in similar situations, and neither team can enter the top four in the draft draw. And they are also very embarrassed because although they have some young players and draft picks, it is basically impossible to compete for the championship due to the lack of reliable cornerstones. Even playoff tickets do not seem so easy. Therefore, when a superstar like Antetokounmpo may flow into the market, these teams will inevitably start chasing. Although the Lakers were listed on the list, they felt more like they were taken out to raise prices and the existence of US media as a topic of hype. After all, the Lakers have too few assets. Unless you give Luka Doncic, there is only one first-round pick in the Lakers, so it is basically impossible to win a big-name star.
