The summer soap opera is shaping up to be long and intense after Los Angeles Lakers are already hinting at a possible interest in signing Giannis Antetokounmpo. When a star of this caliber expresses readiness to change scenery, it's impossible not to crunch numbers and search for the formula for his signing. Well, the Angelenos seem to have it figured out.

There are increasing NBA rumors swirling around the future of Giannis Antetokounmpo after the Greek publicly mentioned the possibility of leaving Milwaukee Bucks. Several franchises are already making moves, and one of the most assertive is Los Angeles Lakers, dreaming of uniting the Greek with LeBron and Doncic as the driving force behind their actions. It may be a tough fit, but if the Greek player is drawn to this idea, it could heavily influence the Bucks' management.

The offer that would align with the contractual figures of Los Angeles Lakers would involve letting go of their entire second unit, as well as Austin Reaves, who is currently a key part of the project. Both he and Hachimura would leave the team, along with Milton, Knecht, and Finney-Smith, in addition to first-round draft swaps in 2026, 2028, and 2030, a first-round pick in 2031, and a second-round pick in 2035. This would give Milwaukee Bucks the chance to rebuild with a good base of medium-high level players to maintain an interesting competitive tone. Giannis Antetokounmpo can dream of wearing purple and gold.
