Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Raptors? What a Trade Could Look Like as Reported Mutual Interest Exists

  • In 2025, Giannis Antetokounmpo, the 30-year-old two-time NBA MVP and champion, has expressed his desire to be traded by the Milwaukee Bucks.
  • The Bucks have not advanced past the first playoff round since their 2021 title and Lillard's injury changed their future plans, prompting trade rumors involving Antetokounmpo.
  • The Toronto Raptors, amid a rebuild with a 30-52 record, reportedly share mutual interest with Antetokounmpo and hold valuable draft assets to potentially facilitate a trade.
  • Raptors insider Doug Smith mentioned that while it’s uncertain if a deal will come to fruition, there is expressed interest on both sides regarding Antetokounmpo potentially joining Toronto, underscoring the team’s strong motivation.
  • If traded, Antetokounmpo would be a key long-term figure for Toronto, suggesting a major franchise move although it would cost many young players and draft picks.
