Spurs’ Giannis Antetokounmpo trade idea also solves Zion Williamson rumors in 3-team deal

The Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumor season is here.

The Milwaukee Bucks could look to start a new era, and if they do, Antetokounmpo's trade would net a treasure trove of future assets.

One team he's been linked to is the San Antonio Spurs to play with Victor Wembanyama in a generational pairing of basketball unicorns.

The Athletic's NBA writers recently constructed what a trade could look like between Milwaukee and San Antonio. To get the deal done, they also included the New Orleans Pelicans.

Here's how it looked.

Bucks get:

• Zion Williamson
• Keldon Johnson
• 2025 first-round pick (Spurs, via Hawks)
• 2027 first-round pick swap rights (Pelicans)
• 2029 first-round pick (Spurs)

Pelicans get:

• Devin Vassell
• Jeremy Sochan
• Pat Connaughton
• 2027 first-round pick (Spurs, via Hawks)

Spurs get:

• Giannis Antetokounmpo

It's a fascinating deal.

The Bucks begin their new era with 24-year old Williamson, one of the NBA's most talented players who just can't quite stay healthy. Johnson is also a strong wing scorer.

The Pelicans get Vassell and Sochan to take their rebuild in a different direction from Zion.

The Spurs get Giannis, a huge accomplishment in and of itself. They also do it while keeping Stephon Castle.

The trade is likely a bit light on the Bucks' return, especially given Williamson's injury history. But it'd certainly shake up the entire NBA if it went down like this.
