Multiple NBA teams are expected to pursue Giannis Antetokounmpo this offseason as speculation continues to grow around his long-term future with the Milwaukee Bucks.
Several franchises that are already out of playoff contention have reportedly shown interest in preparing potential trade packages for the two-time MVP.
Among the teams connected to Antetokounmpo are Western Conference organizations such as the Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets, and Portland Trail Blazers.
However, reports suggest Antetokounmpo would prefer joining a championship-caliber team in the Eastern Conference if he were to leave Milwaukee.
Because of that, franchises like the Boston Celtics, Miami Heat, and Toronto Raptors are viewed as possible destinations.
The New York Knicks, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Cleveland Cavaliers could also emerge as candidates depending on how their playoff runs unfold.
Antetokounmpo’s current contract situation may also strengthen his influence over any potential move, as he has the ability to become a free agent in 2027.
