Dodgers even get Giannis Antetokounmpo trade jokes rolling on social media

The Los Angeles Dodgers have a way of getting who they want.

Why would Giannis Antetokounmpo be any different?

It's a tongue-in-cheek suggestion on social media on Wednesday, of course, but it is quite funny.

The Milwaukee Bucks appear prepared to trade Antetokounmpo away after lots of speculation abounded about just that possibility.

And no, the MLB's Dodgers won't be trading for the 6-foot-11 NBA superstar.

But what if they did?

Giannis would definitely have a big strike zone at the plate.

Or would he be a pitcher? At full extension, it'd feel like he was releasing the ball right on top of the hitter.

He'd be quite the robber of home runs in the outfield, too.

Please LA Dodgers don’t sign Giannis Antetokounmpo!!

The Dodgers have won back-to-back World Series titles. It'd be tough for Giannis to go to a better contender.

They're also partially owned by Magic Johnson, so Antetokounmpo could hang with another NBA legend.

It's not reality, of course, but in an alternate universe? This would be quite the story.
