Giannis Antetokounmpo just made a STRANGE claim about his future with the Milwaukee Bucks which could reignite the Toronto Raptors’ interest in signing the player when he becomes a free agent in two years time. The summer of 2020 was filled with the Giannis Antetokounmpo saga after the superstar did not sign an extension with the Milwaukee Bucks despite having just one year left on his contract. Fueled by Masai Ujiri’s history and pre-existing relationship with Giannis, the Raptors were seen as a major player in being able to sign the Greek Freak as a free agent, and at the time it made a lot of sense with Toronto coming off a season where they were the two-seed in the NBA and were ready to continue competing with the rising Fred VanVleet and Pascal Siakam as a well as Kyle Lowry and more.
Things came crashing down in December of 2020 when Giannis eventually did sign an extension with the Bucks, but Masai Ujiri’s interest in the player surely has remained as it was there when he tried to trade Toronto into the draft in 2013 to acquire him and as a did in that 2020 period. With Giannis putting his Milwaukee future up in the air, can the Raptors really pull off the blockbuster move and get the player’s signature? If so, now is the time to start courting him..

Bruh, here we go again…
Waste of a watch . Click bait dont waste your time
Man, don't get my hopes up. I really hope this projection plays out.
It’s not happening
@jakob gramegna you looking at 4 unprotected picks, 3 swaps scottie barnes, precious achuiwa, jalen mcdaniels, gradey dick, christian koloko, gary trent jr and malachi flynn all going in the deal if they trade giannis to raptors. they wont take filler lulz. for every filler like a thad young, otto porter in the deal add an extra unprotected pick so 6 unprotected picks if there is 2 filler they dont want.
Giannis is breaking down also, he got back problems. so older giannis plays maybe 40-50 games a season and may or may not be healthy in playoffs.
Not another click/over-hyped vid….. Now watch all these Raps amateur fan channels posting same contests looooool
Bro got nothing to talk about
Bro kept it 💯 Giannis not coming to the raptors
The team is actually deep this year, plus we got an actual center this time. We don't need Giannis to take the East because it's wide open like what Jimmy proved last season
No one wants to play for this team 😂
