Teams are expected to go from just loosely monitoring the Giannis Antetokounmpo situation to being on high alert. And the Nets will be one of them. Brooklyn leads the NBA in not only salary-cap room (over $50 million) but also future draft picks (31) and future first-rounders (15). The Post has reported since last year that the idea of assembling all those assets was not to make every one of those picks but to have them ready if the right star became available.

If the Spurs or Rockets jump up to #2 tonight, I think they win the Giannis sweepstakes. More here on Friday’s KOC Show @KevinOConnorNBA: youtube.com/watch?v=7KImkT… – 9:48 AM

I ranked all of the trade packages that every team could put together for Giannis a few weeks ago. Looking relevant today!

Two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo has not made any firm decisions, but for the first time in his career, he is open-minded about whether his best fit is remaining in Milwaukee – or playing elsewhere, league sources told ESPN.

Brian Windhorst: “Could the Lakers make an offer? Yes. Could Giannis come in and say, ‘I am going nowhere but the Lakers’? Yes. And if that happens, that would increase it. But I don’t think the Lakers or the Knicks could make an offer that’s in the top five or six. But because Giannis potentially has agency in this, then you would say that his words would matter a lot.” -via YouTube / May 12, 2025
Brian Windhorst: “Giannis is extremely savvy when it comes to financial matters. He’s very, very smart at what is the best way to do his contract. He’s very, very smart at taxes. I promise you, he knows the tax rates in all the states. And I again come back to Houston and San Antonio—no state income tax. Watch what happens tonight in this lottery with Houston and San Antonio.” -via YouTube / May 12, 2025
