Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo has been linked with a summer move to a Conference rival.
NBA insider and respected analyst Brian Windhorst sent shockwaves through the league by suggesting a potential trade that could reshape the landscape of the NBA.
During a recent broadcast, Windhorst hinted at the possibility of Giannis Antetokounmpo leaving the Milwaukee Bucks for the reigning champion Boston Celtics.

"You have to find teams that could make a trade for Giannis that the Bucks would accept, but at the same time, it would have to be a team that's a title contender. I think Boston is on that list. And I think New York is on that list," Brian Windhorst speculated.
Of course, Boston would have to include some big names in any potential trade. According to Windhorst, neither Jaylen Brown nor the oft-injured Jayson Tatum are safe.
"It wouldn't be easy, as it never is when direct rivals try to work out a trade, and that's the reality. But, there are teams in the East that have enough to make such a trade happen," Windhorst added.
Last season, the Greek Freak averaged 30 points and 12 rebounds, finishing third in MVP voting.
The long term Injury to Bucks' second star Dame Lillard has put the team in a position where trading Giannis may be the only realistic option, allowing them to rebuild.
