Preferred trade destination of Giannis Antetokounmpo revealed

Per Brett Siegel, teaming up with Anthony Edwards and joining the T-Wolves are Giannis' preferred trade scenarios.

As the clock is ticking for the entire NBA before the trade deadline, most teams continue to monitor the next key development on the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade front.

Teams such as the Golden State Warriors, Miami Heat and the Minnesota Timberwolves have been frequently cited as the top candidates trying to get the nod of the Milwaukee Bucks to finally surrender the Greek star.

In the wake of the ongoing hunt by several teams for his play, Giannis actually identifies the Timberwolves as his top preferred trade destination.

"With the NBA on Bucks watch, league sources with direct knowledge of the situation told ClutchPoints that 2x MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo has joining Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves at the top of his list," NBA insider Brett Siegel wrote on X.

"The Wolves are trying to pull this trade off before Thursday."

Should he get traded, it's been well-known that Giannis prioritizes what might be the next compelling story in his Hall of Fame story outside Milwaukee.

The Timberwolves, another small-market team like the Bucks, haven't won an NBA championship yet. They endured Western Conference Finals exits in the last two seasons.

Helping the Wolves get over the hump appears to be an intriguing challenge to solve for Giannis. Not to mention, joining with Anthony Edwards, who is yet to reach his prime, gives Antetokounmpo another star tandem following Khris Middleton.

Right now, everyone can only wait and see if the Wolves can finally pull a blockbuster deal and fulfill Giannis's rumored desire to be on their side.
