Pandora's box has been opened. Once it was known that the Milwaukee Bucks negotiated the transfer of Giannis Antetokounmpo after the Greek requested it to be done with the New York Knicks, the interest and hopes of several teams in acquiring the Greek have doubled, according to NBA rumors.
The summer soap opera extends into autumn. Giannis Antetokounmpo is open to the idea of leaving the Milwaukee Bucks, as he is not convinced that he can win a championship with the current roster. Although New York Knicks was his preferred option and it seems unlikely to materialize, there are other teams with the necessary capital to face the transfer and have intensified their interest after witnessing the Greek's attitude.
One of the main contenders is the San Antonio Spurs. They keep dreaming in the Texas franchise of forming an explosive duo between Wembanyama and Antetokounmpo, but they will have competition. The Greek could prefer to stay in the Eastern Conference, where there is less competition, with the Detroit Pistons emerging as a very enticing option. He would land on a young team, but already prepared to compete for everything if they have him. Another possibility is landing on the Brooklyn Nets, who would build the team around him, but it would take one or two seasons to assemble a truly serious team.
