Antetokounmpo is Milwaukee's absolute ace.
Antetokounmpo received about $48.78 million this season. Receives approximately $57.6 million next season. An annual salary of about $62 million is set for the 2026-2027 season.
There is a player option for the 2027-2028 season. It could earn an annual salary of about $66.8 million.
Milwaukee hasn't been good this season.
Since winning the NBA in 2021, Milwaukee has not spent more than the second round of the playoffs. He was eliminated in the first round for the third year in a row. Antetokounmpo consistently wanted a winning team power. Milwaukee traded Chris Middleton and acquired Damien Lillard. However, Lillard has a long absence due to injury.
CBS Sports claims 'Aditokounbo's trade could benefit everyone'
Antetokounmpo has yet to respond much to the trade.
Sham Canaria, one of the NBA's top sources, said 'Adetokounmpo is open-minded about the future ahead' They say that if they want to win, they can trade.
Milwaukee is counting on Antetokounmpo's royalties. I'm negative about the trade. However, if Antetokounmpo demands it, the situation could be completely different.
Sham Canary said in a local podcast that `Adetokounmpo is deeply troubled by whether to retire from Milwaukee or seek a championship elsewhere.'
This next remark is significant.
He said the Indiana Pacers are rapidly emerging as Antetokounmpo's next destination. With a relatively low pay roll, stronger playoff competitiveness this season, we have set the best conditions for recruiting Antetokounmpo.'
Indiana has the 22nd-ranked salary cap in the league. It's about 170 million dollars. Antetokounmpo can condition as many contracts as he wants. In addition, they advanced to the Eastern Final with Tyreece Halliburton, Pascal Siakam and Miles Turner's big three at the center. He's in a bloody battle with the New York Knicks. At this point, it is possible to advance to the final.
If Antetokounmpo joins Indiana, there may be bleeding of existing power, but the probability of winning could increase.
