In order to get Antetokounmpo from the Bucks, the Rockets are willing to send out all kinds of bargaining chips besides Amen?

According to ESPN reporter Shams Charania and Substack reporter Marc Stein, Milwaukee Bucks forward star Giannis Antetokounmpo has not yet decided on his future, but he is becoming increasingly open to leaving the Bucks and looking for other opportunities. Charania and Stein also said that the San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets are potential next homes for the Bucks star.

According to NBC Sports reporter Kurt Helin, a source told him that in order to get Antetokounmpo, the Rockets are willing to consider putting All-Star center Alperen Sengun into the trade, and forward star Jabari Smith Jr. will also be considered to putting them into the trade. However, Helin also said that the Bucks may be more interested in Jalen Green, and if this is the case, the Rockets are certainly willing to put Green in the trade. In addition, the Rockets also hold a large number of first-round picks in their hands that can be used in Antetokounmpo's trade. In other words, the Rockets have a lot of young talents and draft picks that can be used for trades, and their competitiveness in this potential trade is very prominent.

In the NBA regular season this season, Antetokounmpo made a total of 67 appearances in 82 games, averaging 34.2 minutes per game, with averaging 30.2 points, 11.9 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.2 blocks, and 3.1 turnovers and 2.3 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 60.1%, a three-point shooting percentage of 22.2%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 61.7%. In the playoffs, he played 5 games in total, with averaging 37.6 minutes per game, averaging 33 points, 15.4 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, and 4.6 turnovers and 2.4 fouls. His shooting percentage was 60.6%, a three-point shooting percentage of 20%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 69.8%.

Antetokounmpo's overall performance this season is quite good, and he is able to maintain sufficient competitiveness in both the regular season and the playoffs. With the team's lineup adjusted and the core players were injured and stopped, he also relied on his own to help the Bucks stabilize their record. However, in the playoffs, the Bucks' shortcomings in lineup were also clearly reflected. Although Antetokounmpo worked very hard, he could not change the fact that the team's poor record was. In this case, it is reasonable for Antetokounmpo, who is at its peak, to change his boss and join a more competitive team. Of course, the Rockets' bargaining chips are also quite good, but we can also summarize from these news that the Rockets are not willing to send Amen Thompson. It seems that he is the Rockets' real non-sale product at the moment?
