In the second round of 2019-20, the Bucks lost to the Heat 1-4. Antetokounmpo was injured and watched from the sidelines in Game 5.Giannis AntetokounmpoI can only watch the team lose.
The Milwaukee Bucks, who have won the best record in the regular season for two consecutive years, failed to even make it to the Eastern Conference Championship this year. The topic of Giannis Antetokounmpo becoming a free agent in 2021 and transferring to his team has once again reignited. In addition to the long-rumored Warriors, the Raptors and Heat are said to have great interest. In fact, Antetokounmpo's age and condition are only 25 years old. Except for the perimeter, he is almost a combination of offense and defense. It is very likely to win the third place. With two MVPs, any team will definitely not miss the opportunity.
"The Athletic" once broke the news that the Heat will try to sign Giannis Antetokounmpo and Victor Oladipo next summer to form the Big Three, but I personally feel that the Heat's current situation and player integration level do not really need Antetokounmpo. The Raptors are another interesting option. The team composition is similar to the current Bucks taking away Antetokounmpo.
Antetokounmpo said in an interview, "Some people run away when they see obstacles (the original text is to turn when they encounter a wall), but I will face it head-on." Antetokounmpo also believes that the road to championship is not easy, and he will continue to challenge. Bucks general manager Jon Horst said that they will try to strengthen while maintaining the status quo, and it is rumored that Chris Paul may be the main target.
If the Bucks can take Paul, it will definitely be an important reinforcement for the Bucks and Antetokounmpo. Paul's experience and court control will definitely help in the playoffs. The question is what chips the Bucks have that the Thunder want. After trading Paul, the Thunder will definitely enter a rebuilding process. The Bucks hold the 24th pick in the 2020 draft, but this may not be very attractive to the Thunder. It is more likely that the plan is a three-way trade, and Paul will definitely be there. Eric Bledsoe is leaving as another bargaining chip, and who the 30-year-old Bledsoe can attract is another big question. It can only be said that the Bucks really need to think carefully about how to strengthen.
