According to Sam Vecenie of The Athletic, Antetokounmpo is the main name NBA sources bring up as a potential San Antonio offseason trade target.

The Spurs, led by All-Stars Victor Wembanyama and De’Aaron Fox, have the second overall pick in this year’s draft.

“Most of the sources I talk to around the league think the most likely outcome is that the Spurs do just that: Stand pat and pick at No. 2,” Vecenie wrote. “Another option should be on the table, though — if it presents itself. It should come as no surprise that the main name league sources bring up as a potential Spurs trade target is Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo.

“With Giannis’ wrecking-ball interior game and Wembanyama’s silky smooth perimeter chops both as a shooter and ballhandler, the two are seen as a natural pairing that could lead to immediate success.”

Antetokounmpo is a two-time MVP, a one-time Finals MVP, a one-time Defensive Player of the Year and a nine-time All-Star. He has spent his entire career with the Bucks.

The 30-year-old Antetokounmpo has career averages of 23.9 points, 9.9 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.2 blocks. He guided the Bucks to the 2021 championship against the Phoenix Suns.

Antetokounmpo doesn’t have a no-trade clause in his contract. He averaged 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.2 blocks for the Bucks this season in 67 games.

Milwaukee has won just one postseason series since winning the 2021 championship.

The Spurs are very interested in trading for Antetokounmpo, sources told Hoops Wire. Antetokounmpo, who will make $54,126,380 next season, hasn’t requested a trade from Milwaukee yet.
