A player staying with one team their entire career is now a distant memory. Although at one time, it felt like Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo would be content staying with the franchise until he retired.
However, that has all changed. NBA insider Shams Charania has reported that Antetokounmpo and his agent have started conversations about finding a new home for the two-time MVP.

Throughout my entire life, anytime a big time player is seeking a trade, New York Knicks fans expect to land them. More often than not, it doesn’t happen.

However, this time, it feels like the Knicks could be the leader in the race to secure a new star.
The Knicks seem to be the likely spot for Giannis. But that doesn’t mean they won’t fumble bringing in another superstar.

If you are a fan of watching one team dominate for a decade, then the Bucks sending the Greek Freak to the San Antonio Spurs should make you happy.
Having Victor Wembanyama and Giannis on the same team would be the most unfair deal in NBA history. If this actually happens, the league needs Adam Silver to veto the trade.

The Golden State Warriors could be a sneaky destination for Antetokounmpo. Giving Stephen Curry another weapon could resurrect one of the most dominant franchises of their respective era.
