The biggest storyline around the NBA outside the postseason right now is what the future holds for Milwaukee Bucks star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo. After another early playoff exit for the Bucks, many people around the league have speculated that Antetokounmpo could ask out of the organization.

Nothing has been set just yet, but the reality of Antetokounmpo leaving remains a real possibility. If the Bucks do make Antetokounmpo available on the trade market, the team will have plenty of suitors to land his services.
Many people have looked at teams like the San Antonio Spurs, Brooklyn Nets, Houston Rockets, and others as possible landing spots. But NBA writer Dan Favale of Bleacher Report listed a few surprising teams that could make sense.
Within this, the Toronto Raptors and Memphis Grizzlies were listed. Each of them could make a compelling offer for Antetokounmpo, putting the Bucks on the spot.

Why Memphis makes sense
The Grizzlies were reportedly active at the trade deadline and wanted to land Jimmy Butler before he was traded to the Golden State Warriors. Putting Antetokounmpo next to Ja Morant could create a legitimate star duo for Memphis for years to come.
The Grizzlies could offer Jaren Jackson Jr. or Desmond Bane as the main headliner, giving the Bucks a strong trade package in return. The Grizzlies need to make some changes this offseason, and Antetokounmpo could be the answer.
Why Toronto makes sense
Raptors team president Masai Ujiri has never been shy about making bold moves during his tenure with the team. The last time he made one, the Raptors got a title out of it, with Toronto acquiring former star Kawhi Leonard in a blockbuster deal.
Antetokounmpo will cost much more than Toronto paid for Leonard, but the thought process could be the same. Adding a player like Antetokounmpo to the mix could put the Raptors back on the map, and they have plenty of young talent to entice the Bucks in a deal.
Any deal would likely require the Raptors to throw Scottie Barnes into the mix, but if they could find a way to keep him, Toronto could be set up well. The Raptors remain a sleeper team in the potential Antetokounmpo sweepstakes, simply due to Ujiri.
