In particular, the possibility of a partnership between Giannis and Wemby in San Antonio could be massive for the team. This hypothetical pairing would also involve the renowned Hall of Fame Coach Gregg Popovich.
On the flip side, an OKC trade would see Giannis joining forces with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, bringing a potent combination of skills to the Thunder’s lineup.
Meanwhile, a move to the Toronto Raptors could mirror the impact of Kawhi Leonard’s arrival in 2019, immediately propelling them to favorites in the Eastern Conference. And, by the statements given by Giannis, it feels that he himself is looking for a trade.
Giannis himself has dropped hints about leaving Milwaukee
Notably, The Greek Freak has been dropping hints about a potential shift from the Bucks in a recent GQ interview. He openly stated:
“I just love challenges. What’s the next challenge? The next challenge might not be here. Me and my family chose to stay in this city that we all love and has taken care of us—for now. In two years, that might change. I’m being totally honest with you.”
