Antetokounmpo is 31 years old. He wants to win another title. He knows, everyone knows, he ain't gonna do it in Beer. Where should he go if he wants to win another title?
The Miami 45's are thrown around as a prominently mentioned destination where he could win a title. 601 Biscayne could put together a pretty enticing package to get him. Personally, I would offer Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro. That should be enough for the Male Deer front office. But there are many possibilities. We have draft picks. We may have Scary Terry Rozier's salary for ballast; we have Kel'el Ware, Andrew Wiggins, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Nikola Jovic. We would still have a good team no matter the reasonable package.
But since LeBron James went back home we have landed one "whale", Jimmy Butler III. Why would that be? Why will Antetokounmpo not come to Miami? The answers I bolded in the last paragraph. We're the 45's (actually the 44's, 44-38). No one superstar is going to elevate a 44-38 team to the NBA title. You need more than one. You can't win a title by adding one superstar to our middling roster.
In recent years whales have migrated West. But that conference is so congested at the top. Antetokounmpo's new team would have to run a gantlet. They may not even make the conference finals. If Antetokounmpo really wants out of Beer, and wants a real good chance to win another title, he will will land in...Mamdani City.
