After a third-straight first-round playoff exit, Giannis Antetokounmpo's future with the Milwaukee Bucks is up in the air. Should Antetokounmpo decide to force his way out of Milwaukee, several teams will be interested in his services, with one surprise suitor being the Toronto Raptors.
Antetokounmpo was once again great for the Bucks in the 2024-25 campaign, as he averaged 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, and 6.5 assists per game while shooting 60.1% from the field. It wasn't enough to prevent Milwaukee from getting bounced by the Indiana Pacers in five games in their first-round clash.
The past few years, Antetokounmpo's name has occasionally popped up in trade rumors, but a recent report indicated that he is contemplating his future with the Bucks. Among the teams that could make a push for Antetokounmpo is Toronto, who have the assets at their disposal to make a big move this offseason.
"There's several teams out there that he could be traded to with assets that could come back," NBA mega agent Rich Paul said on "The Pat McAfee Show." "You look at Toronto who has young assets, a big market, he would be huge there obviously."

The Raptors missed the playoffs entirely this season, posting a 30-52 record. They have several talented pieces in place already, though, as they are building around Scottie Barnes, while they also traded for Brandon Ingram from the New Orleans Pelicans at the trade deadline back in February.
It's going to take a haul to get Milwaukee to move Antetokounmpo, but Toronto has the pieces to make a deal happen. Whether or not it happens remains to be seen, but it looks like another under-the-radar landing spot has emerged for the Greek superstar if he does get traded this offseason.
