The Milwaukee Bucks have few options. Yanis Antetokounmpo's summer move is already the biggest issue.
Yahoo Sports of the U.S. said on the 30th (Korea time) 'It's time for Milwaukee to trade Yannis Antetokounmpo. The Milwaukee Bucks have used every means in the last three years to create a winning power centered on Antetokounmpo. However, Damien Lillard's Achilles tendon injury wiped out all hope. When trading Antetokounmpo...'
Milwaukee was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.
Milwaukee lost 118-119 to the Indiana Pacers in the fifth round of the Eastern Conference playoffs (best of seven) at Gain Bridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Indiana ace Tyreece Halliburton (26 points) scored a dramatic winning goal. Milwaukee's Antetokounmpo had 30 points, 20 rebounds and 13 assists, but could not prevent the loss.
Milwaukee, where Lillard was injured, was a series that reduced the limits of objective power. Milwaukee lost the first round of the playoffs for the third consecutive season.
The problem is that the limit of power is clear. There are no factors that can get better.
Antetokounmpo is at its peak. Antetokounmpo, 30, has been in the top five in MVP voting for seven consecutive seasons. Chances are high that he will be named to the All-NBA First Team for the seventh consecutive year.
Antetokounmpo's stay lacks justification. He has already given Milwaukee a championship. Despite numerous attractive offers, he chose to stay in Milwaukee.
Whenever there were rumors of a transfer, he said there was no reason to leave Milwaukee if it could win the championship. In other words, if Milwaukee's power weakens, it can now leave.
Milwaukee chose every means to have a winning record centered on Antetokounmpo. He used up his No. 1 pick in the future rookie draft by trade.
I brought Zru Halladay in 2020 and Lillard in 2023. Milwaukee has not controlled its first-round pick from 2025 to 2030. There are also a lot of salary caps.
He is sixth in the league. It is spending about $186 million. In other words, there is no room to sign a large contract. Already paying Lillard about $54 million this year and Kyle Kuzma $22.4 million.
Milwaukee had to let go of Malcolm Brockdon and Donte DiVinchenzo to adjust the salary cap.
In the end, Milwaukee is a system centered on Antetokounmpo, and the possibility of winning the championship is slim. There is no proper way to reinforce the power. Still, his value is at its peak.
