What if I told you the Toronto Raptors could be in the mix to TRADE for superstar forward Giannis Anteokpunmpo. The Greek Freak is rumored to be unsettled with the Milwaukee Bucks after making strange claims in a recent discussion with the New York times. NBA media is now jumping on the story and predicting some possible outcomes to the situation.
On Monday, we spoke about the chances of Giannis landing in Toronto as a free agent but what if Raptors President Masai Ujiri did not leave things up to chance and acquired the player through a trade. An NBA executive for an unknown Western Conference has said the Raptors are a team to look out for based on their assets and Masai Ujiri’s personal ties to the Antetokounmpo family. It may cost the Raptors Scottie Barnes AND Pascal Siakam, but would it all be worth it to take the two-time MVP away from the Bucks?

Really!
NOT
GONNA
HAPPEN
Giannis wants to WIN which is precisely the reason why he might leave the Bucks.
How is going to Toronto accomplishes that goal?
ANY TRADE TALK CANNOT INCLUDE SCOTTIE AND PASCAL – are we kidding? That would blow up our team and that give Giannis nothing to support him on the court.
Yes Giannis has connection with Masai but it has to make sense all round and I still think it is too early to make this announcement about a trade.
Who in their right mind considers trading 3 all star caliber players for 1??? I could see 2, but not shot masai even considers unloading the entire team especially when Giannis is wanting to compete.
nah theres no way we give up scottie AND siakam
Here is something every more unlikely but would IMO be a better move and set the Raptors up for a long term success. Jamal Murray may be a free agent in 25'. I know, Its crazy and very unlikely, but a man can dream ok. Who knows maybe after dominating with Denver. Maybe he wants to move home, and be the number one guy on the team instead of number two to the Joker. Raptors need that point guard and a superstar; this gives us both. If we still have OG, Barnes and Jakob, that is a pretty nice four piece right there. Raptors free up the cap and gather some assets with a Pascal trade and just ride it out til 25'. Thats my less than 1% chance move.
I would trade pascal and scottie for gannis in a heart beat
Not gonna happen ever 😂
I think siakim along with Boucher and dick and 3 to 4 picks is more realistic for what the trade would be
I hear people saying they wouldn’t trade Siakam for no one other than Giannis.. well what’s the excuse now?
