*This is a prediction*
It is starting to seem like a Giannis Antetokounmpo trade is closer than ever, and I have the perfect suitor.
There have been many NBA rumors of Giannis Antetokounmpo landing with the Los Angeles Lakers, but it doesn’t seem like a viable option at the moment. I know we live in the era of the superteams, but it’s unreal to think that LeBron James, Luka Doncic, and Giannis Antetokounmpo will play in the same team.
The Houston Rockets are a far more accurate option, they have the cap space and the trade assets to land the big star.

Milwaukee Bucks Trade Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Houston Rockets
Despite a strong start to the season, the Houston Rockets have fallen a little bit in the NBA standings and could benefit from a midseason move to bolster their team. Kevin Durant and Jabari Smith Jr. have been a huge factor in the Houston Rockets’ success, but they need a bit more talent if they want to be true contenders.
Houston is always one of players’ favorite destinations, as people say it’s a great city to live in. The combination of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Amen Thompson would be must-watch TV, and they would end up being an ideal duo for the Rockets to build around for their future.
The Bucks don’t look like an NBA playoff team, and Giannis Antetekounmpo surely wants to compete for an NBA championship. The Rockets would be able to provide him with that possibility.
The Perfect Trade Package
I got two scenarios for Rockets fans and I believe they will like the first one much more than the second one.
The first idea will be sending all their veterans: Fred VanVleet, Clint Capela, Kevin Durannt, and a first round pick. Milwaukee will be tempted by this option, but maybe will ask for one more first rounder. Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the NBA’s biggest stars, so the offer should be on point.
The second option has the Rockets sending Kevin Durant, Alperen Şengün, and a first rounder. The Bucks will surely hope to land some big guys and the combo of Durant-Şengün should do the trick.
