After a disappointing series defeat to the Miami Heat in the 2020 NBA Playoffs, the rumors are swirling around Giannis Antetokounmpo and his future with the Milwaukee Bucks. The trade deals involving the ‘Greek Freak’ are blowing up, and the latest sensation is that the LA Clippers would love to have him! 

The Clippers might not have the assets or the funds to bring Giannis into the team now. However, they certainly can in the future. 

Paul George and Kawhi Leonard will see their contracts expiring in the 2021 offseason, which coincides with Giannis’ final year on his contract agreement with the Bucks, unless he signs an extension. 

Giannis would become an unrestricted free-agent by 2021, which would also force the Bucks to offer him a massive extension. If the 25-year-old shifts from his current mindset, there would be a lot of teams wanting to lure him in, and consider the Clips as one of them!

In an article published by ‘The Ringer,’ it was mentioned that the LA Clippers have serious interest in pursuing for Giannis. “One of the sources said Giannis has an “admiration” for Clippers head coach Doc Rivers,” the article read.

After all the viral breakouts about Giannis joining the Heat and the Raptors, this revelation seems to be the most eye-catching one. Seeing him in the Clips’ jersey certainly excites one’s interest! 

Giannis Antetokounmpo in the 2020 NBA Playoffs  

The Bucks took a hit right at the start of their playoff campaign. Game 1 loss did not prove to be crucial in the series against the Orlando Magic, but it might’ve reflected that they were indeed going to bow out from the tournament.

Giannis put up tremendous numbers against the Magic, asserting his dominance in the first round. He put up averages of 30.6 points, 12.8 rebounds, and 6.0 assists in the series to propel the Bucks into the second round. 

But they were met by the force of Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat, who are on a mission to prove their doubters wrong. The Heat dominated the series and only gave the Bucks breathing room for a single victory, with Giannis injured and out for one-and-a-half games. 

With his likely MVP season ending bitterly, Giannis has pledged his loyalty to Milwaukee, which seems to be his only team in mind for now. However, one season can change everything, and will we see the ‘Greek Freak’ suiting up for a different team in the NBA?
