US media suggests that the Clippers win Antetokounmpo for 6 and 1, Edwards recruits Durant, but the Suns choose Towns

The 2024-2025 season finals have not started yet, but many teams that have entered the offseason ahead of schedule have planned to rebuild their lineups in advance. Recently, US media suggested that the Clippers offer 6 for 1, trade Antetokounmpo, and form the Big Three; Edwards publicly called for recruiting Durant, and the Knicks, who had just been out of the Eastern Conference Decision, also joined in the fun, intending to exchange Towns for Durant.

1. The Clippers traded Antetokounmpo for 6 for 1: The Bucks have a poor record this season and have stopped in the first round of the playoffs. Antetokounmpo has lost confidence and patience in the team, and leaving the team may be a high probability event. US media suggested that the Clippers exchange 6 for 1, get Antetokounmpo, give out: Zubac + Powell + Pogdanovic + 3 first-round picks, forming the three giants: Antetokounmpo + Leonard + Harden. Objectively speaking, such trading suggestions are very beneficial to the Clippers, but the Clippers' trading chips cannot impress the Bucks at all. After all, Antetokounmpo is the top 5 super giant in the league today.

2. Edwards called for recruiting Durant: It is rumored that Edwards publicly called for recruiting Durant on social media: KD, come to Minnesota. Let's win the championship together! Not to mention the authenticity of the information, it is certain that Edwards has repeatedly claimed in public that Durant is his idol, and that Edwards and Durant won the World Cup championship together as teammates. Edwards regards Durant as both a teacher and a friend, and it is completely reasonable to recruit Durant.

3.Downs for Durant: After the Knicks East was eliminated, Towns was immediately pushed to the forefront and became the sinner of the Knicks' elimination. New York fans shouted: Send Towns away. Suns team reporter Ben Jamin Garia suggested that the Knicks exchange 5 for 1, that is: Towns + Kohlke + 3 first-round picks = Durant. The main reason for feasibility is: Booker and Towns have a good relationship, and the Suns are interested in matching this new combination.

Knicks just got out of the Eastern Conference Finals and wanted to drive the blamed Towns out of the team. It's really a cold world and a weak relationship. To be honest, Towns performed well in the Eastern Conference Finals. The real cause of the disaster may be Brunson who sticks to the ball. What do you think?
