"Just a few months ago, the NBA rumor mill was buzzing with speculation that Toronto might make a big splash over the summer by trading for a 'big fish', with names like Giannis Antetokounmpo or Kevin Durant at the forefront. As it turned out, those rumors were mostly just smoke and mirrors. Giannis seems set to stay in Milwaukee for the foreseeable future, and Durant ended up being traded to the Houston Rockets instead."
"I think it's safe to say that the idea of matching up Giannis Antetokounmpo with the Toronto Raptors has always felt like a bit of a longshot dream for many Raptors fans. Speaking for myself, Giannis has been one of my favorite non-Raptors players for a long time. The thought of him in Toronto -especially with our city's large Greek community and the chance to have a bonafide superstar leading the team - seems like a positive pairing that could churn out successful results."
NBA rumors suggested Toronto might pursue superstars like Giannis Antetokounmpo or Kevin Durant during the summer. Giannis appears set to remain in Milwaukee, while Durant was traded to the Houston Rockets. Many Raptors fans regard pairing Giannis with Toronto as a longshot but appealing, given the city's large Greek community and the chance for a bona fide superstar to lead the team. Mario Chalmers asserted that Toronto would be a better fit for Giannis than Miami. Chalmers argued that the Heat require many shooters around Giannis and did not see him fitting the Heat's style, while calling Toronto a more active, up-and-down team with young, hungry players.
