Lakers as a Possible Landing Spot for Giannis Antetokounmpo
The Los Angeles Lakers could be in the mix for Giannis Antetokounmpo if the timing is right.
Despite the two-time MVP's reported interest elsewhere, the Lakers might become a surprise trade destination if Giannis grows frustrated with the Bucks' direction.
I think the interesting thing was, the Lakers were positioning themselves as a future cap space team, and a future offseason team earlier in the [2025] offseason, and then there was a shift later in the offseason after EuroBasket, where it came out that now they’re open to trading, open to taking on longer-term money.
This shift in strategy, as noted by Jovan Buha, could potentially make the Lakers a viable option for Giannis.
