An NBA insider recently has the clear favorite in a potential Giannis Antetocounmpo Handelspiele that are San Antonio Spurs.

While the superstar of Milwaukee Bucks has not asked for a trade with Wisconsin, there have been rumors for weeks that it is a strong option. Especially since it could be in the best interest of the dollar. Several teams were associated with an acquisition, including the Spurs, Rockets and Nets.

“Thanks to the NBA Draft Lottery, the Spurs may be able to put together the best trading package,” Helin wrote this week. “San Antonio can offer this year's No. 2 and the No. 14 selection, the reigning rookie of the year, Stephon Castle, as well as Harrison Barnes and Keldon Johnson to compensate for salaries. The Spurs also have their own 2029 election for the first round that could be part of the package. This package is a start on a vineyard.”

“There would be a few years in which both Antetocounmpo and Wembanyama would also be top 10 players in the league. While Antetocounmpo's game fades, Wembanyama will continue to rise and the Spurs will keep in dispute for years.”

The nine-time all-star was just 30 years old, so that he was able to have three to four other main years all-at least. While the first all-star turned 21 in January and not even scratched the surface of his full potential.
