The Houston Rockets are a potential landing spot for Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, as he recently announced he is open to a trade. Antetokounmpo has achieved a lot with the Bucks as he has been an all-star, MVP, and won an NBA championship during his tenure in Milwaukee.
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.
Giannis averaged 30.4 ppg, 11.9 rpg, and 6.5 apg on the season. He ranked second in the league in scoring, as he is an elite scorer. Giannis blends power, speed, and agility in a way few players ever have.
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.
