Giannis Antetokounmpo is at the center of the offseason storyline that just won't die. The widespread assumption the moment Damian Lillard tore his Achilles was that the Milwaukee Bucks star would ask for a trade.

The Hawks would emerge as one of the favorites to win the East by acquiring Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Bucks in this proposed mock trade.

During the 2024-25 NBA season, Antetokounmpo once again dominated the rest of the league. He played in 67 games, averaging 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.2 blocks, and 0.9 steals per game, while also shooting 60.1 percent from the floor.
