Giannis Antetokounmpo to spurs? Blockbuster bucks, which shook NBA

There are players who spend years – even decades – are preparing to win the NBA championship. Some never fall, but even for those who do this, there is life after that. Grind continues, and the goal remains the same, year after year.

No one knows that just like Jannis Antetokunmpo, who won the championship from Miluo Baks in 2021 and has since been barren in his attempts to win another.

This is especially relevant this summer, since the bucks find themselves in the worst possible situation in which they were when they were during Prime Antetokounmpo. The organization does not have any high assets in the form of draft elections. Their situation with a cap, although not yet a sea of ​​flame, is extremely discouraged, and key participants, such as Brooke Lopez and Gary Trent, can leave the franchise this summer.

As for the list itself, it is old, boring and on the last legs. This does not help Doc Rivers, wandering around as the head coach of the organization who refuses to give way to young players, which the team really needs development.

All this is a long way to get to the point that Ben Rorbach miraculously laid out on these very pages: it was time to consider the opportunity to exchange the best player in the history of the franchise.

Before we dig into one specific trade, several notes:

• First, fans of the bucks, we do not hate you, and at the same time we do not want Antetokounmpo to play in another place. He made a house in Miluoki, he won there, and his connection with the community is really exalted. We just read the tea leaves of the problems that lay at the feet of Miluoka, and we come to the conclusion that another year in this organization, under these problems, will become an empty waste of its heyday. And no one wants it.

• Secondly, we are not trying to push him to a large market, such as New York or Los -Angeles. Yawn. This would not make sense, even if we tried, since Lakers, Clippers and NIKS do not have the necessary assets to conclude a deal, and Brooklyn is actively restored.

• Finally, we are working on the assumption that Antetokounmpo will be moved after July 1, which means that the teams can send their newly developed beginners, not taking care of causing a scholarship rule that does not give the commands to the first rounds.

With this, let’s go to a trading place, which can be interesting for both sides.

Trading idea: Jannis in the “spurs”

When San Antonio Opers exchanged for de’aaron Fox, they sent a message to the rest of the league: we plan to compete faster than you think.

Spurs did not finish. How could they be? They are still armed with the help of a draft, they have one of the cleanest salary sheets in the league, and they have this French dude 7-Foo-4, which once can be good.

If Antetokounmpo is so inclined to accept the “spurs” as a destination – how he and Bax undoubtedly work together in trade – San Antonio can make a strong offer.

Deal
Spurs Get: Giannis Antetokounmpo
Bucks Get: Devin Vassell, Jeremy Sohan, Harrison Barnes, 4 selection of the first round

Vassell, Sokhan and Barnes work as items corresponding to the salary. And we will get to the compensation project, which will serve as the main factor in the currency here.

The Wassell-Projected Firing Guard, who had a little decreased this season, but it is quite capable of a large number of results, even with high efficiency. It consists in a very reasonable contract that pays him $ 27 million both next season and what follows. Its salary is actually omitted in 2027-28 to 24.6 million dollars. USA, and then returns to $ 27 million in the last year. This transaction will become very good, especially taking into account the spike, which is estimated at 10% every year, moving forward. After the end of this season, Vassell will never even hack 18% cap. This is a good business.

The Sokan consists in the transaction with the newcomer, and the bucks will have to find out whether they are ready to transfer to him the expansion, which he will have the right to this off -season – or they want to allow him to check the limited free agency in 2026. The power striker is not a star, and he does not necessarily act as one, but he is an asset, and a player who Milvowe can try with his production to see him in the production.

As for Barnes, he will be an expired agreement in the amount of $ 19 million. Miluoi can choose that he expires and get the flexibility of the salary, or transfer it to the worst, and longer, having concluded a contract, at the same time acquires compensation for this.

What leads us to the draft compensation. The gross idea is as follows:

San Antonio sends its two players compiled in the draft of this year (currently, according to forecasts, they will go to No. 8 and No. 14), as well as in Atlanta in 2027 without a secure choice and choice of Miluoi in San Antonio of 2029 or 2031 of the first.

One important warning: if the “spurs” jump into the lottery, especially if they land in the upper choice in Cooper-Flagg, the choice of hawks of 2027 will go beyond, unless some other team makes a competitive rate for 6-11 former MVP.

(We will get to this later.)

This type of package dumps the little ones quite carefully, and the value refused for Antetokounmpo, at least at the level when the bucks should arouse their interest, informing the spurs in the best shape of John Stuart to “continue …” when they set a step.

For San Antonio, the idea is quite obvious. Not only do you build the best bilateral front-end curtan in the NBA, but you catapulate yourself in the fight against the championship, expecting you to move to other contracts for more shooting to optimize the distance between the floors.

Now remember how other teams could enter this?

What about thunder?

A sleeping giant with all wealth can wake up for this. The thunder of Oklahoma City was not super aggressive in the search for stellar deals, because their product is already working, obviously 68 victories because of their season.

But if they look at the script in which Antetokounmpo may be in San Antonio, perhaps this is enough to take part, even if it costs them a huge pieces of their military chest.

(Miluoki will surely ask Jilin Williams, and if thunder is inclined to admit that San Antonio will immediately have to make a stefon as a castle if they are all in Greek damage.)

Thunder can also easily compare contracts using the salary of Isaiah Hartenstein as the starting point of Isaiah Hartenstein and adding players such as Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins to force money to work.

In conclusion, it may seem that spurs and thunder will go to the center of the center if Antetokounmpo will become affordable. They have several assets to figure it out, and both situations should be attractive to the 30-year-old, who made it clear that his goal was to play another title.

This would be good news for bucks that can initiate a legal war on trade if they will play their cards correctly. And when exchanging talent, such as Jannis Antetokunmpo, they obviously need that they themselves do not become individual.
