Memphis has the pieces to go after Antetokounmpo while still retaining its star players, Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. It would cost a lot of players and picks, but the blockbuster deal makes the team a title contender, even in a crowded Western Conference.

Shams Charania of ESPN reported on Monday that two-time MVP and one-time Finals MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo is open to leaving the Milwaukee Bucks, who have won only one postseason series since winning the 2021 championship against the Phoenix Suns in six games.

Giannis Antetokounmpo has a viral response on social media to Bobby Portis commenting about his future with the Milwaukee Bucks.
