Sportsbooks have installed the Miami Heat, New York Knicks and Golden State Warriors as the leading candidates to land two-time NBA Most Valuable Player Giannis Antetokounmpo should the Milwaukee Bucks ever move him in a trade, according to updated betting odds published this week.
The odds list Miami as the front-runner, with New York and Golden State close behind. Other clubs trail those three in the speculative market, but the gap between the top contenders and the rest of the field remains significant in most postings.
Antetokounmpo, 31, is a seven-time All-Star and the cornerstone of Milwaukee’s 2021 championship team. He is under contract with the Bucks yet continues to appear in trade chatter each time betting markets refresh their “next team” boards.
While no trade discussions have been confirmed by any of the teams involved, the updated odds underscore ongoing league-wide interest in Antetokounmpo’s future and reflect bettors’ expectations about which franchises could assemble the assets necessary to make a deal.
