A sudden rise! The Raptors lead the battle for letters, US media reveals trading chips, netizens: bargain price

As we all know, the battle for Antetokounmpo has already begun. According to famous reporter Shams, Antetokounmpo is considering leaving Milwaukee for the first time in his career. This news undoubtedly dropped a bombshell on the calm lake of the NBA, causing a thousand waves. In this battle, the Raptors emerged and became one of the most powerful competitors at the moment, and even had a strong momentum to lead.

In the 12 seasons he played for the Bucks, Antetokounmpo led the team to win one championship and personally won two regular season MVP honors. He is one of the few players in the league today to have "one person, one city". However, as the Bucks ended in the first round of the playoffs for many years, this made Antetokounmpo deeply doubt the team's future development.

After all, as a superstar at the peak, Antetokounmpo is eager to show his strength on a higher level stage, and the current difficulties of the Bucks undoubtedly make him feel confused and lost.

According to previous reports from US media, the Rockets and the Spurs have shown strong interest in Antetokounmpo and have been actively communicating with the Bucks in an attempt to find the possibility of a deal. However, just when everyone thought Antetokounmpo's next home would be between the Rockets and the Spurs, the Raptors suddenly joined the battle strongly, disrupting the original situation. The Raptors' joining makes this battle more intense and complex, and also makes Antetokounmpo's future full of more uncertainty.

Recently, ESPN reporter Brian Windhorst reported that the Toronto Raptors are seeking to introduce a well-known star through the trading market, and Antetokounmpo is one of their favorites.

"According to sources, Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Toronto Raptors have mutual interest."

And in the process of competing for Antetokounmpo, the Raptors showed full sincerity, which can be said to be the choice of the whole team casually. According to Raptors Doug Smith, no one on the Raptors' roster is untouchable in potential Antetokounmpo deal negotiations, and Scotty Barnes may be the core bargaining chip.

In the regular season of this season, Barnes averaged 19.3 points, 7.7 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game, shooting percentage of 44.6% and 27.1% of three-point shooting percentage. His performance is amazing, with great potential and value. In addition, the Raptors may also provide other players and picks to meet the Bucks' trading requirements. Netizens also expressed their opinions on this, believing that the Raptors' trading chips are really "bad", but this also indirectly reflects that the Raptors are indeed full of sincerity in order to get Antetokounmpo.

Time is turned back to 2019, and the Raptors got Leonard through the trade. Under his leadership, the Raptors passed the opportunity and finally won the first championship in team history.

Now, the Raptors seem to have the opportunity to replicate the glory of the past. They hope to use Antetokounmpo's strong strength to set off a storm of "King of the North" in the East and even the entire NBA arena, realizing the team's re-rise. If the Raptors can successfully trade Antetokounmpo, then the team's strength will make a qualitative leap, and the future road to championship will be brighter.
