The Giannis Antetokounmpo rumor mill is turning heads again. ESPN's Zack Kram has revealed a gigantic four-team trade proposal that would rock the league to its foundation. Its centerpiece is Greek Freak, who is going to the Golden State Warriors to create a potential dynasty alongside Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler.

Although nothing is official at this time, the hypothetical situation is making waves around the basketball globe — and for good reason.

As per Kram's proposal, here's how the suggested blockbuster transaction will look:

Golden State Warriors get:

  • Giannis Antetokounmpo
  • Los Angeles Lakers get:
  • Draymond Green
  • Daniel Gafford

Dallas Mavericks get:

  • Gabe Vincent
  • 2031 First-Round Pick (via Lakers)
  • 2025 Second-Round Pick (No. 41)

Milwaukee Bucks get:

  • Austin Reaves
  • Brandin Podziemski
  • Jonathan Kuminga
  • Trayce Jackson-Davis
  • Maxi Kleber
  • 2029 First-Round Pick (via Warriors)
  • 2031 First-Round Pick (via Warriors)
  • 2030 First-Round Pick Trade (through Lakers)

How Each Team Gains from the Trade

According to Blog de Basket, the Milwaukee Bucks will face a complete restart after the departure of Giannis.

The 30-year-old forward may be a hard loss, but the Bucks would gain elite young pieces and multiple first-round picks to boot, giving them a legitimate head start on a rebuild. Armed with Reaves, Kuminga, and Podziemski as building blocks, the Milwaukee Brewers could stealthily construct the next Eastern Conference behemoth.

As for the Los Angeles Lakers, there might be a chemistry shift to happen. With Anthony Davis sidelined, the Lakers' frontcourt has been a worry. Draymond Green brings veteran defense and leadership, particularly playing alongside LeBron James, and Gafford offers secure rim protection. This signing might revive L.A.'s championship aspirations.

Meanwhile, in Dallas, the Mavericks need to fill the gap with Kyrie's absence. Irving is going to be out for an extended period with an ACL injury, so Gabe Vincent provides Dallas a temporary solution at point guard. The draft assets pay dividends in the long term, and they retain their anchor bigs such as Dereck Lively II and AD.

Finally, the Golden State Warriors will try to construct an ideal superteam.
Pairing Giannis with Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler would produce one of the greatest trios in NBA history. It's one last opportunity for Curry to pursue a fifth title alongside the best-supporting cast, and it's the championship-grade team Butler has deserved all along.

Is Giannis Really Leaving Milwaukee?

Here's the twist: Giannis Antetokounmpo has not officially asked for a trade. As much as rumors have been circulated about his imminent departure from the Bucks, the "Greek Freak" has stayed faithful. Nevertheless, if the front office feels like his exit is inevitable, making this trade might be the best option on the table.

Previous rumors linked the 6-foot-11 player to the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs.
