Giannis Antetokounmpo, a standout for the Milwaukee Bucks, just declared he is open to a trade, which suggests the Houston Rockets could be his next destination. As an all-star, MVP, and NBA champion during his time in Milwaukee, Antetokounmpo has accomplished a great deal with the Bucks.
According to an article by NBC Sports Kurt Helin, the Bucks are one of 7 potential trade candidates that make sense for Antetokounmpo. The Rockets can include some of their draft picks in an attempt to make a lucrative offer for “the Greek Freak.” He would make the Rockets an instant contender for the championship.
Throughout the season, Giannis averaged 30.4 points per game, 11.9 rebounds per game, and 6.5 assists per game. Being an excellent scorer, he finished second in the league. Few players are ever able to combine power, quickness, and agility like Giannis does.
His ability to handle the ball like a guard, attack the rim with authority, and defend multiple positions makes him one of the most complete players in the league. He’s also known for his humility, team-first mentality, and relentless drive to improve. He elevates any team in the league with his presence on defense and offense.
It will be an interesting offseason for the Rockets as they look to improve the roster.
