The Los Angeles Lakers trading for Giannis Antetokounmpo is a possibility, but as ESPN's Tim Bontemps said on the Brian Windhorst & The Hoop Collective podcast, it might take the superstar demanding a trade to Hollywood over the summer. Milwaukee could trade Giannis between now and next week's Feb. 5 deadline of 12 p.m. PT, or it could wait until the summer when teams, like the Lakers, have access to more draft capital. How much interest does Giannis have in a Lakers trade? There hasn't been a report specifically linking Giannis to Los Angeles, but that doesn't mean he hasn't considered it. Los Angeles knows how to make the impossible happen in terms of trades, so the Giannis-to-LA dream is still alive (and it would come at a steep cost), at least for now.
