Several NBA teams are expected to pursue Giannis Antetokounmpo during the upcoming offseason, as uncertainty continues to surround his long-term commitment to the Milwaukee Bucks. According to reports, franchises already eliminated from playoff contention have begun preparing potential trade offers for the two-time MVP.
The Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets, and Portland Trail Blazers are among the Western Conference teams linked to Antetokounmpo. However, sources indicate that if the star forward decides to leave Milwaukee, he would prefer to join a championship-level squad in the Eastern Conference.
As a result, the Boston Celtics, Miami Heat, and Toronto Raptors are viewed as realistic landing spots. The New York Knicks, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Cleveland Cavaliers could also become candidates, depending on how their postseason campaigns progress.
Antetokounmpo’s current contract may further strengthen his leverage in any potential move, as he holds the ability to become a free agent in 2027.
