Giannis Antetokounmpo has reportedly been keeping an eye on the Lakers as a potential landing destination in a trade.
While teams like the Miami Heat and the Golden State Warriors have been mentioned as favorites to acquire Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo in a potential trade, the Los Angeles Lakers are always a team to watch when it comes to the biggest names in the NBA.

According to NBA writer Howard Beck, Giannis has been keeping an eye on the Lakers as a potential landing destination, although he noted that the Lakers might not have the necessary assets to land him.
"I was told recently that the Lakers were a team to keep an eye on from Giannis' standpoint, just as another team of interest," Beck said on The Zach Lowe Show.
"But again, there's a difficulty there in terms of trade assets. They're another team where, once the summer comes, they'll have more on the draft-capital side of things and more clarity once they figure out where LeBron is or isn't, and where Austin Reaves is, because he's a free agent," he added.
According to earlier reports, the Milwaukee Bucks are seeking blue-chip young talent and/or a surplus of draft picks for Giannis Antetokounmpo.
So far, the Bucks are not rushing their decision and aim to get the most for their franchise superstar, with an asking price already revealed.
