Oh boy. The Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors have hit a fever pitch with the NBA’s deadline for deals approaching next week.
That’s thanks to the report from ESPN’s Shams Charania that dropped on Wednesday: The superstar “is ready for a new home ahead of the Feb. 5 trade deadline, as several teams have made aggressive offers to the Milwaukee Bucks, who are starting to listen.”

But what kind of deal would get a trade done for an NBA champion and the kind of game-changer who could turn an also-ran into a contender (assuming he’s back from injury soon!)? That’s where NBA fans came in on X (formerly Twitter).
Here are the trade packages they came up with:
Giannis to the Warriors
I… guess this works? The Warriors have to go all in for one more run with Steph Curry, right?
Giannis to the Lakers (and LeBron and Bronny to the Warriors)
This one breaks the internet.
Giannis to the Knicks
If the Knicks think they have a shot at title right now, then I guess this one works.
Giannis to the Knicks and Ja Morant to the Bucks
Another internet-breaker we’d be dissecting for weeks.
Giannis to the Warriors and Draymond Green to the Bucks
Can you imagine?!
Giannis to the Heat
The one that makes the most sense (and he gets to keep playing with his brothers).
Giannis to the Mavericks
Uh, no.
