Giannis Antetokounmpo's best trade destinations include five teams, says Bill Simmons

The Milwaukee Bucks are down 3-1 in the first round series against the Indiana Pacers. On Sunday, things got even worse with Damian Lillard suffering a non-contact injury which many believe to be a torn Achilles. 

Now, a dark, gloomy cloud looms over the Bucks just years removed from an NBA Finals victory. What does Milwaukee do now? Well, one option that has been discussed is trading away superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, especially if he asks to be let go in hopes of beginning a new chapter. 

On Sunday night, Bill Simmons revealed some potential trade landing spots for Giannis. 

"Houston has to be a consideration," Simmons said. "Brooklyn has been the rumored one, but I don't know if Brooklyn can give them enough picks back that could have them remain competitive." 

Simmons also mentioned the Oklahoma City Thunder, New York Knicks and the Orlando Magic. In Simmons' discussion, the key tidbit was the Bucks getting back a package that would allow them to remain competitive. 

A potential Knicks trade, per Simmons, involves a Karl-Anthony Towns package, so those are some interesting ideas in a potential Giannis trade. 

The Nets have widely been discussed as the favorite landing spot for Giannis, although it remains to be seen what kind of package they could cook up to acquire him. 

So, with the season on its last breath for the Bucks, the summer might be filled with plenty of Giannis trade talk.
