Bill Simmons proposed a bold hypothetical trade sending Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Philadelphia 76ers alongside Gary Harris, with the Bucks receiving rookie VJ Edgecombe, Paul George, and a first-round pick.
The Milwaukee Bucks continue to face questions about Giannis Antetokounmpo future, and this week, The Ringer's Bill Simmons sparked conversation with a bold hypothetical trade scenario involving the 31-year-old superstar.
Milwaukee Bucks / Schedule
In Simmons' idea, Giannis would be sent to the Philadelphia 76ers along with Gary Harris. In return, the Bucks would receive Sixers rookie VJ Edgecombe, Paul George, and a first-round pick.
Whole trade:
Milwaukee Bucks receive: VJ Edgecombe, Paul George, 2029 First-round swap pick (Clippers).
Philadelphia 76ers receive: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Gary Harris.
Giannis is putting up impressive numbers this season, averaging 28.2 points, 9.9 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game, but Milwaukee is struggling with an 18–25 record, sitting 11th in the Eastern Conference.
Simmons’ trade scenario highlights just how desperate the Bucks could become if they want to pivot for the future.
With the trade deadline approaching, Simmons' scenario illustrates the high stakes for Milwaukee and the league, and whether the Eastern Conference could see one of its biggest stars potentially switching teams in a blockbuster deal.
