Antetokounmpo may force the palace to leave the Bucks in the offseason in 2025, the four most realistic destinations at present

The Milwaukee Bucks are almost on the verge of collapse after being eliminated in the first round of the playoffs in the 2024-25 season. The main reason is that the team has missed the Eastern Conference Finals for three consecutive seasons, and the players have suffered consecutive injuries. Even Lillard, who finally won last year, suffered an Achilles tendon injury, which made the team's future look very confused.

Antetokounmpo is the core of the Bucks and is not very satisfied with the team's performance. Many fans and media believe that he may force the team to strengthen the trade, otherwise he will consider leaving the Bucks. In the 2024-25 season, Antetokounmpo averaged 33.0 points, 15.4 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game, and he was not worried about not having a takeover. Therefore, Siddhartha Gupta, the author of the US media "Fadeaway World", also revealed the four most realistic destinations when Antetokounmpo chooses to leave the Bucks once he forced the palace to trade. Let's take a look!

1. The New York Knicks

Milwaukee Bucks won: Towns, Mikal Bridge, 2025 first-round draft pick (WAS), 2026 second-round draft pick (DET/ORL)

New York Knicks won: Antetokounmpo

Whether the Knicks will consider this deal depends on whether they can go further in the 2024-25 playoffs. Now the Knicks lead the Celtics 3-2 and have a chance to enter the Eastern Conference Finals. If Antetokounmpo can be exchanged for Towns and Mikal Bridges, it will help the Bucks complete the reconstruction quickly and rise instantly.

2. Miami Heat

Milwaukee Bucks won: Taylor Hiro, Kelwell, Nikolajovic, 2029 first-round draft pick, 2030 first-round draft pick

Miami Heat won: Antetokounmpo

Miami Heat have been wanting to win Antetokounmpo in the past few years. They once asked Taylor Hiro to exchange Antetokounmpo for single, but were rejected by the Bucks. Now that five or one is changed, it is still possible to consider it just to win Antetokounmpo. Pat Riley has made a statement that the 2025-26 season will help the Heat rise and become better. Therefore, winning Antetokounmpo is a very good choice. Letting him partner with Adebayo will help the Heat create the best inside double tower combination in the league.

3. Toronto Raptors

Milwaukee Bucks won: Scotty Barnes, Ochai Abakie, 2026 first-round draft pick, 2028 first-round draft pick, 2030 first-round draft pick, 2026 Lakers second-round draft pick

Toronto Raptors won: Antetokounmpo

Toronto Raptors are in Canada, let Antetokounmpo go to the north, is this a punishment? Six and one, just to win Antetokounmpo, this operation is a bit explosive. However, letting Antetokounm and Barrett partnered with others will help the Raptors become one of the favorites to win the championship in the 2025-26 season.

4. The Brooklyn Nets

Milwaukee Bucks won: Clarkston, Cam Thomas, 2026 first-round draft pick, 2029 Knicks first-round draft pick, 2030 first-round draft pick, 2031 Lakers second-round draft pick, Brooklyn Nets won: Antetokounmpo

The Brooklyn Nets wanted the Brooklyn Nets to send two young players and four draft picks in exchange for Antetokounmpo, and the Nets should not agree. Because it is unlikely to help the Nets succeed just by winning Antetokounmpo. If they simply enter the playoffs and make ends meet, they don’t need Antetokounmpo at all. Antetokounmpo did not help the Nets' ratings and tickets. If the Nets trade to send Clarkston and Cam Thomas away, they must get young superstar players around 25 years old, rather than 30-year-old superstar players like Antetokounmpo.
