What would a Raptors trade for Giannis look like?
Last month, NBA fans learned that Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo was reportedly “open-minded” about a trade. Several teams were seen as potential suitors — the Rockets, Spurs, Nets, and so on. But in the past few days, a new team has gained momentum: The Toronto Raptors. According to Star reporter Doug Smith, there is “mutual interest” between Giannis and the Raps. ESPN’s Brian Windhorst also separately reported that the Raptors are “looking for a big fish” in the trade market.

If we can somehow swing a trade like 1 of quickley or RJ, Gradey, Agbaji, and 3 firsts. That would be an instant contender
Giannis and Scottie ho man 🐐🐐🐐🐐
Baklav… Is this uncultured heathen talking about Knafeh?
Guys just dig deeper and recall the Masai connection the man who discovered Giannis. He was the force to help him and his family relocate to Greece and ending up in the U.S.
Giants of Africa and Masai keeps on building strong connections to players coming from all over Africa.
TORONTO WANTS AND NEEDS GIANNIS 😭😭😭❤️ Bring him to Toronto at all costs 🙏🙏🙏 Having Giannis in the 6 long-term will be legendary
WE NEED GIANNIS IN TORONTO NOW!
I personally optimistic about Raptors chances honestly. Yes, some other teams could put a better offers, but will they? We know Raptors will try to break bank here, I have no doubt in that, Giannis is Masai's guy and not like trading for him is some bad idea. Masai will do it all to make it happen.. but will Houston, or SA, or OKC? I doubt about that honestly. Houston I think is the favorite, yes, if they really want it, but I think Raptors is definitely in play here.
no they do this with Toronto teams all the time. They just use the Raptors as leverage and pawns for the real deals
it would look like a black hole cuz that aint gonna happen.
He's staying in bucks
I know Zion loves Toronto. 😀
I wish Trey was here to pour some water on the Canadien homer takes lol. Raptors are $37mil over the cap before they even make a move and those bloated salaries of Barnes, Ingram, Quickley and Barrett are gonna be tough to move. Even with pick compensation attached
Barnes, Agbabi, Dick, picks for Giannis, role player. But Doug Smith isn't a reliable source.
Barnes and Giannis cant shoot. Pairing them would be a disaster
Barnes, Dick, Agbaji, 3 firsts, 1 pick swap for Giannis, role player (Connaughton?)
Quickley
Barrett
Ingram
Giannis
Poetl
Would have to trade Scottie & salaries & Picks for Giannis
Why would he do that? He'd basically ends up on a Canadian version of the Bucks
For Salaries to match, Barnes, Agbaji & Mogbo.
Add the #9 pick and 3 others 1st rd.
(4 1st = 4yrs left on Giannis contract)
Only the Spurs can make a better offer.
Not sure this has a single thing to do with it but if I was a foriegn born player I would rather live in Canada right now
2:11 – Giannis was comfortable prying Dame from Portland, just to leave him in Milwaukee, while he joins team X.
3:43 – not Scottie
8:05 – and we know why, because they are trying to build piece by piece.
