NBA Trade Rumors: 4 Teams Named Best Fits in Giannis Antetokounmpo Trade


The Milwaukee Bucks have won two games in a row. But before anybody gets too excited, those games were against the Toronto Raptors and the Detroit Pistons. The Bucks are still 4-8 and not even in the Play-In in the weak Eastern Conference. The threat of Giannis Antetokounmpo asking for a trade at some point still lurks in the background. 

With that, Evan Dammarell of Clutch Points suggests that four teams "are all worth watching in the lead-up to the Antetokounmpo sweepstakes". 

  • Oklahoma City Thunder
  • Brooklyn Nets
  • Houston Rockets
  • San Antonio Spurs

He notes that all four teams have the assets in picks and young prospects that could entice Milwaukee. 

The teams are at widely varying stages, with OKC a legitimate championship contender as is, and the addition of Giannis would make them a massive favorite. 

The Rockets & Spurs are both teams that are trying to accelerate their ascension, and obviously a Greek Freak would push either of them into serious contender status. Imagine a pairing of Antetokounmpo & Victor Wembanyama. It would certainly be scary hours for the NBA. 

As for the Nets, they are thought to be one potential spot that Giannis is interested in, but even with him, they are nowhere close to contending.
