The blockbuster trade idea that Giannis Antetokounmpo hopes to stay in the Eastern Conference comes true.
NBA Rumor Mill is full of chattering Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo potentially farewell to the franchise.
This comes in light of the failure to build a good roster around Greek freaks.
According to NBA insider Brian Windhorst, the Toronto Raptors are interested in trading Anteto Compo this offseason. With that in mind, NBA Analytics Network We present the idea of a huge hit trade that sent Giannis to Toronto.
- Milwaukee Bucks Received: Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett, No. 9Pick in 2025 NBA Draft, 2028 FirstRound Pick, 2030 First-round Pick
- The Toronto Raptors receive: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Pat Connaughton
Bucks’ first round exit for the 2025 means pressing the panic button, at least in terms of keeping Antetokounmpo happy.
The Bucks acquired Damian Lillard in the blockbuster trade in 2023, but the move only shot the team’s depth. The organization also parted ways with Chris Middleton this season in exchange for Kyle Kuzma.
But once again, the move didn’t have a good result for the team. In this proposed trade, the Bucks can start fresh by acquiring two young stars with Scotty Burns and RJ Barrett.
Both players did a good job in 2024-25 as they served as the cornerstone of Milwaukee’s new era with the Raptors.
In addition to that, this hypothetical deal will help you stack up some excellent draft picks, including the 9th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. As for Pat Connaughton’s deal, that would be difficult as the Bucs Star has a $9.4 million player option next season.
Assuming he opts in and becomes part of the deal, this is where the Bucks roster looks like next season.
Proposed Milwaukee Bucks Depth Chart:
| Start 5 | bench |
| Damian Lillard | Kevin Porter Jr. |
| Gary Trent Jr. | AJ Green |
| RJ Bullet | Prince Taurean |
| Scotty Burns | Kyle Kuzma |
| Brook Lopez | Bobby Portis |
Given how well the Burns and Barrett duo played, how they broke up with them could turn out to be a difficult decision for the front office.
But the shot of getting someone like Antetokounmpo is simply too good to slip. Plus, the Raptors were already trading with Brandon Ingram in last season’s blockbuster trade.
Even more reports claim that Greek freaks want to remain in the Eastern Conference. Therefore, limit his options in the process.
With that in mind, the franchise will enter Win-Now mode with the Antetokounmpo-Ingram duo. But is that enough? Certainly not.
The Raptors need to add a few great players to their supporting cast and actually get everything. They can use the Indiana Pacers path to reach those heights by having incredible depths in every position.
With that idea in mind, here’s what the Raptors depth chart will look like for the 2025-26 NBA season.
Proposed Toronto Raptors Depth Chart:
| Start 5 | bench |
| Immanuel Quickley | Jamal Seed |
| Born to break | Ya’kobe Walter |
| Brandon Ingram | Pat Connaughton |
| Giannis Antetokounmpo | Chris Boucher |
| Jacob Portr | Jonathan Ford |
