Time to move Lavine. Even if they get a new coach. Send him to highest bidder

Shame it’s too late to move him this season and let Coby rock
 
The Bucks have made things very easy for Antetokounmpo to stay. According to several executives around the league, though, other teams do think they have a shot at prying him from Milwaukee and have made plans around a potential play for Antetokounmpo.


We’ve identified five teams in the ring for Antetokounmpo on the slim chance he wants out of Milwaukee. Two are legitimate contenders for Antetkounmpo. One is a pipe dream mostly driven by the media. One is a longshot, but possible.

Here goes:

Miami Heat
The Heat have every intention of making a pitch for Antetokounmpo and while they’re not out there tampering about it, they’re not hiding it, either.


Miami has $36 million committed to Jimmy Butler in 2021-22 but almost nothing else. They’ve have to pay Bam Adebayo and it can be presumed that players like Kendrick Nunn and Duncan Robinson figure into the future, but the Heat won’t give out any money that might interfere with their ability to bring in Antetokounmpo.

Of course, it’s not just the Greek Freak that Miami has on the brain. Players like Leonard and George could be on the market, though they’re unlikely to leave the Clippers. But more realistic targets like Rudy Gobert, Victor Oladipo, Jrue Holiday and, possibly, Gordon Hayward could be around, too. Miami wants to be well-positioned for the Class of 2021.


“Everything they’ve done, any call that goes through them, it starts with, ‘How does this affect 2021?’” the GM said. “They want to be able to make that good pitch, with Jimmy Butler and Spo (coach Erik Spoelstra) and Pat Riley, that’s important to them. And it starts with Giannis.”

Toronto Raptors
If the Raptors hoped to make a low-key pitch to Antetokounmpo, it’s not a very well-kept secret. Toronto will have the cap space to sign Antetokounmpo, who would fit nicely alongside another long-limbed, multi-faceted All-Star forward, Pascal Siakam.


Toronto will have to pay out for Fred VanVleet this summer and will look to keep players like Chris Boucher and Terence Davis on cost-friendly contracts, but with only $31 million committed in 2021-22, that shouldn’t interfere with the Raptors’ ability to attack the free-agent market.

It helps that Toronto general manager Masai Ujiri has a long-standing connection with Antetokounmpo and his family, reportedly having helped them immigrate to Greece from Nigeria.

“I don’t think he leaves the Bucks,” one league executive said. “But if he does, Toronto has to be the front-runner. Staying in Milwaukee, that’s No. 1. But if he can stand the cold, Toronto is the perfect situation for him, the next best thing.”

So it's war. @heat street team..

I didn't even mention the other fuck ass teams.

If he signs with the heat imma make my Arab niggas come thru and fuck everything up.
