CBS Sports said on the 9th (Korea time) 'Yanis Antetokounmpo's trade history is very long. The Milwaukee Bucks did everything they could to keep franchise star Antetokounmpo alive. Signed Damien Lillard to an extended contract, and when he was out for the season due to injury, he made a buyout. Then I brought Miles Turner. Rather than the future of the team, he made all-out efforts to catch Antetokounmpo at this point. However, Milwaukee is facing another crisis this season, and Antetokounmpo is closed due to injury. At this point, Antetokounmpo is unhappy with the situation in Milwaukee. The background of Traid's appearance is showing signs that the Yanis trade competition will finally begin. It could be this season, it could be the summer after the season.
So far, it's a set procedure. Antetokounmpo is competing for MVP this season. It's an MVP-level performance. Along with Nikola Jokic, Shai Gilzer Alexander and Luca Doncic, they are MVP races in the big four.
He still has a strong under-the-goal attack and a passing ability that is increasing with each season. However, there is a strong reversal.
The media reported that interest in the Adetokounbo trade is relatively low. It's shocking. The San Antonio Spurs could form the Yannis Antetokounmpo duo with Victor Wembanyama. You can make the best big man duo in NBA history. However, San Antonio has no intention of giving up Stephen Castle or Dylan Harper for the Antetokounmpo trade. Atlanta Hawks have no intention of offering a first-round pick in 2026 for sale in the Antetokounmpo trade. The Chicago Bulls said the Antetokounmpo camp contacted them, but they responded that they were not interested'
Antetokounmpo's trade is inevitably a mega trade. This is because we need to change all team plans as well as salary cap.
Antetokounmpo will receive about $54 million this season and $58 million next season. The 2027-2028 season is an annual salary of $62.7 million, with player options. Antetokounmpo can choose a team or qualify as an FA.
In other words, the contract is signed from 2026 to 2027.

This is because teams that can recruit Antetokounmpo do not want to trade while actively investing in future resources.
This medium is a somewhat surprising development. Antetokounmpo is a proven player. It's different from players like Ja Morant and LaMelo Ball. He has already won two regular league MVP awards and led Milwaukee to a final victory, saying 'Most team fans who want to sign him are cautious. Everyone wants him, but wants to get him at the right price. At the same time, they want to keep one or two of their best assets.
Why Antetokounmpo's value has fallen so much.
The media reported 'Adetokounmpo is 31 years old. His style of play, which relies on excellent athletic ability, declines faster with age. There is also a limit as a shooter. There are also injuries. He has missed an average of 15 games in the past four seasons and has recently left due to a calf injury.
His value as a player is very good, but his future value surrounding Antetokounmpo is not high. In addition, there is another key reason Antetokounmpo's trade value has fallen.
Oklahoma City Thunder is the key reason.
The media reported that Oklahoma City, which is devastating the league, has fundamentally broken the trade market. At least it's having a lot of influence on the trade of high-paid and high-risk stars like Andetokounmpo 'The LA Clippers are proof. If you do one of the trades wrong, there's a huge backlash. The Los Angeles Clippers traded Oklahoma absolute ace Shai Gilzer Alexander to bring in Paul George. San Antonio doesn't want to watch Derek Harper grow into the second Shai Gilzer Alexander after sending him out to Milwaukee.
