The Giannis Antetokounmpo Trade Rumors Just Changed Everything
Giannis Antetokounmpo, two-time MVP and reigning superstar, is reportedly ready for a new home at the Feb. 5 NBA trade deadline or in the offseason, with several rival teams making aggressive offers to the Milwaukee Bucks.
In this clip, Jacob Gramegna breaks down whether the Toronto Raptors are serious contenders to land Giannis and what such a move would mean for the team. We’ll explore the Raptors’ potential trade assets, how Giannis could fit alongside Scottie Barnes and the current roster, and whether this blockbuster move is actually within reach as the trade deadline approaches.

I hope so bad that we get Giannis but I haven’t heard like anything in the past 12 hours
Shams hasn’t even said anything about us
If they are looking at trading Scottie for Giannis, NO!!!!!! Giannis is older, Scottie will have more years in him and he's only now getting into beast mode. Raps will deeply regret making the trade. It may look good for the first year or two, possibly even 3. But with Giannis' size, and getting older, he will be more injury prone. Kinda goes with being that big (there are a few exceptions of course, but more often than not, big guys are more injury prone as they age).
If we were to do a trade for giannis we can't trade bi and Scottie
We would have to trade RJ cmb and others
@jakob gramegna the raptors picks are not of value as they will be in the 20-30 range, so CMB is the very good young player going to bucks but he isnt the feature, RJ IQ or Jak are filler of no value, so the feature has to be scottie barnes with 4 unprotected picks and 3 unprotected swaps.
the warriors picks are more valuable than raptors and they willing to give all their picks till 2032.
so if there is no scottie barnes plus cmb and likely walter and alijah martin and filler with all the unprotected picks and swaps, bucks not trading giannis to toronto. this isnt a buy low situation. bucks gm dont care if the team is gutted they said, he wants blood from stone with no lube.
Unfortunately I don't think Milwaukee is taking your leftovers for a top 10 player in the league without Scottie this trade doesn't get done.
Ik they gonna ask for Scottie 🥴
There’s a chance Giannis won’t even come back this season. Plus the bucks would ask a lot more than the Raptors would want to give up.
Dont want him he is diva wants to tell teams who he wants, wants to dictate the coaches, he is constantly injured his body is on the way to being Anthony Davis 2.0. Raptors have to give up core and no real timetable when he is back we could drop back into the lottery waiting for him to heal. I doubt he signs with us so two years from now we are in a rebuild with no draft picks, fantastic
If Giannis (age 31) were truly elite at leadership, MIL wouldn’t be here. 🏗️ CONTINUITY = CORE ADVANTAGE. Dynasties aren’t bought, they’re BUILT. 🇨🇦 All-Star talent will start coming HOME via FA. 🔁 KEEP + DEVELOP high-EQ youth > panic moves. We can find what we need for less.
Taking the brother should save us at least 1 first round pick
I’m probably the only one that thinks this will hurt Scottie’s game.
