5 favorite teams which can land Giannis Antetokounmpo amid Milwaukee Bucks exit
Brooklyn Nets
Ever since the partnership of Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden took a different turn, the Brooklyn Nets have struggled big time and have been far away from title contention.
If they are able to sign Giannis, then they can regain their pertinence in the Easter Conference. But, it would cost them a fortune and promising players such as Cam Johnson, Nic Claxton and Cam Thomas.
San Antonio Spurs
Under the leadership and guidance of R.C. Buford, their GM turned CEO, the San Antonio Spurs have a habit of constructing championship rosters. It won't be a surprise if they are able to land the big man and give the basketball fans a world pairing of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Victor Wembanyama.
Los Angeles Lakers
Rob Pelinka, the GM for the Los Angeles Lakers has recently pulled off a blockbuster deal that saw Anthony Davis make way to Dallas Mavericks and Luka Doncic coming in at the Lakers. They would be thinking of building the team around Doncic as LeBron James is in the latter stages of his illustrious career.
It won't be a surprise if Pelinka is able to pull off another big heist in the form of Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Miami Heat
Antetokounmpo is familiar with the game of Miami Heat as they were the one who eliminated the Bucks after emerging from the play-in tournament two season ago. With Pat Riley leading the Heat, Giannis would know that he is competing with a franchise that often chases championships.
Toronto Raptors
In the recent years, the Toronto Raptors have been in flux with Scottie Barnes being the untouchable star. They could eye to sign the Greek Freak and also find a way to keep their veteran amongst their ranks.
