Famous reporter: Two weeks ago, each team was ready to get letters. Now it is generally not believed that he will leave.
Recently, Jake Fischer, a famous reporter from "Open-Air Stand", talked about Antetokounmpo's trading prospects on the show.
He said: "Everyone in the league wants to know how the offseason will unfold, first of all, the two biggest dominoes that may fall: the trade rumors of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Durant."
". The part about Giannis will be shorter, because to be honest, the general mood of the rival teams I talk to is not very optimistic. During the joint trial about two weeks ago and two and a half weeks ago, there was no shortage of optimism, hope and excitement for other teams. , I think they may make a offer to bring Antetokounmpo to their team. But recently, I have to say that this confidence has been replaced by suspicion. I have talked to agents, team executives and others, and at this point, people generally don't believe it. "
" But anything can happen. I have been told that if a formal decision will be made this summer - whether to close or open the door to trade negotiations about Giannis, it will likely be closer to the end of June and offseason It really happened. But I would say that for now, based on conversations with the league, their assessment and expectations are: They will wait until they see it firsthand before they believe it. Will someone who values being the team's appearance and being the core pillar of the Bucks want to play somewhere else? The overwhelming background message is pointing in the opposite direction. Will Damian Lillard miss a season? When Lillard is taking a $54 million salary and is recovering from a tear in the Achilles tendon, there is a lot more in Milwaukee's management Work has to be done, to build a championship-level lineup around Antetokounmpo. "
" On the other hand, in Phoenix, everyone related to Kevin Durant's situation said that Durant's trade is something that will inevitably happen. During the Suns' long coaching process, the idea of trading him was mentioned to multiple candidates. Trading him is basically a foregone conclusion, not a question of whether he will trade, but a question of "when to pull the trade trigger." "
