Brother Alphabet's favorite four teams exposed! The Bucks would prefer to send him to the West: there is a strong interest in the top spot

On June 6, Beijing time, according to NBA reporter Cris Davis, sources revealed that after internal discussions, the Bucks plan to trade Antetokounmpo on their own terms, focusing on a rebuild centered on draft picks and rookies. The list of his favorite homes includes the Raptors, Knicks, Heat and Spurs — and he has hinted that he will not renew his contract with other teams and aims to become a free agent in 2027. The Bucks are more inclined to make deals with Western Conference teams and have a keen interest in the top pick Dylan Harper. In other words, the Spurs are the most suitable destination for the Bucks' personal wishes and the Bucks' trade tendencies.

Previously, Shams reported that Antetokounmpo was open to leaving Milwaukee. Although the Bucks are reluctant to let the superstar go, they also have to plan for a potential breakup. Without this year's first-round pick, the Bucks have tried out some of the top-ranked lottery picks, which are also seen as trade preparations.

He has three years left on his contract, $54.12 million for the 2025-26 season, $58.45 million for the 2026-27 season and a $62.78 million player option for the 2027-28 season. In other words, he could become a free agent as soon as the summer of 2027.

Sports Illustrated's Chris Mannix notes that the Spurs will go all out for Antetokounmpo, but could the Bucks ask for Castle (Rookie of the Year)? Is that on their bucket list? If that's the case, I don't think the Spurs would agree to such a trade package. ”

Now it seems that the Bucks are more interested in Dylan Harper, who is expected to be selected by the Spurs than Castle. With Lillard expected to be sidelined for a long time due to a serious injury, they will need to strengthen their guards. Dylan Harper is the best guard in this rookie, and his template is Cunningham and Brunson.

Of course, the Raptors, Knicks and Heat on his favorite list will also be chasing him. Judging from Davis's revelations, the Rockets, who are very interested in Brother Alphabet, are not among them, which means that if the Rockets trade to get Brother Alphabet, they will not be able to get his contract renewal commitment, and Brother Alphabet is more inclined to become a free agent in 2027.

In the 2024-25 season, he played in 67 regular season games for the Bucks, averaging 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game, and played in five playoff games, averaging 33 points, 15.4 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game, and the Bucks were eliminated by the Pacers 1-4 in the first round.
