Doug Smith: I don’t know if it will happen but I do know there is mutual interest between Antetokounmpo and the Raptors. The wild card is the cost. But I also think the Raptors are uniquely placed to make an attractive offer that won’t ruin their franchise or roster. I would make the case that a logjam at the wings makes them deep enough that if they had to pay even two out of Gradey Dick, Ochai Agbaji, Ja’Kobe Walter, RJ Barrett, Jonathan Mogbo would still leave enough to fill out a pretty good team with promising young players still developing. Plus, they have all their picks, so giving a first-rounder every year for, say, four years, leaves enough.

I’m thinking Christmas Day- Knicks and Pacers. OKC and Lakers/Golden State. J // Boston-Tatum-sidelined/Trades? Cavs-Celtics? Giannis with Bucks or TBD vs Bulls……? NFL has 3 games that day. – 12:13 PM

More on this storyline
ESI: There are some rumors Atlanta could be a destination for Giannis. Would you want to see that happen? You’d obviously have to give up a lot to get Giannis, but pairing him with Trae (Young) could lift the team. Dominique Wilkins: “Man, that’s a blockbuster deal right there. Who wouldn’t want Giannis? I’d be lying if I said anything differently. Oh, man, it is a lot you’d have to give up to get a guy like that.” ESI: Is it worth the potential compensation? Dominique Wilkins: “If you can land a guy like that – someone who still has a lot left in the tank, since Giannis is not an old man by any stretch of the imagination – there’s not a team in the league who wouldn’t want him.” -via Esports Insider / June 2, 2025
Doug Smith: The question is if you think the remaining players will develop, just as that group of Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet, OG Anunoby and Jakob Poeltl did. Not to that level — that’s a historic young group no one’s come close to matching — but if it can come close, that’s pretty darn good. Again, the odds of doing a Giannis deal are long but the remnants of paying a steep price isn’t too bad. -via Toronto Star / June 2, 2025
“Even when I talk about older players than me, I don’t feel like I surpassed anybody. I just kept growing their legacy,” he explained. “What some of the great European players are doing today in the NBA is taking it up another step — in growing what we did, in expanding the level of play that we tried to bring.” -via EuroHoops.net / June 1, 2025
