NBA fans are reacting to rumors going around that the Timberwolves might make a move to bring in Giannis Antetokounmpo to their roster. Antetokounmpo’s exit from the Bucks is seemingly round the corner, even if the ‘Greek Freak’ continues to hail Milwaukee as his home always.
Rumors of Antetokounmpo wanting to be traded out of the Bucks have been swirling for quite some time, and only grow stronger as days go by. Meanwhile, baller fans are coming up with jokes about Antetokounmpo and Minnesota’s possible marriage.

“Anytime a player like Giannis Antetokounmpo is available, you have to put Timberwolves President of Basketball Operations Tim Connelly’s name in the running for a trade. Connelly has been one of the most aggressive front office leaders since he took the job in Minnesota. He has swung big deals for Rudy Gobert, Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo and his swap of D’Angelo Russell for Mike Conley and Nickeil Alexander-Walker helped catapult the Wolves into contender status. Does he have the ammunition to get a deal done? We will see, but I definitely expect him to be inquiring.” Jon Krawczynski wrote for the NY Times.
“Edwards finally gets a co-star taller than a middle scholar,” one fan joked.

“Timberwolves sniffing around Giannis? Tim Connelly’s aggressive – love that fire! If they pull it off, Ant+Greek Freak would be unstoppable. Let’s go get him Minnesota! (wolf emoji, flexed biceps emoji)” one more fan said.
“Would Ant and Giannis work together though, both like having the ball and the chemistry has to match with his other teammates or this would be a waste for him too (person shrugging emoji)” another fan questioned.
NBA Fans Are Shocked With Every Team Wanting Giannis Antetokounmpo
Meanwhile, NBA fans are truly delighted with practically every other team in the league wanting Giannis Antetokounmpo for their own. Not just Minnesota, but even Golden State wants some of the Greek Freak according to recent rumors.
“Yes, we know. Every team wants Giannis.” One fan announced.
“Isn’t everyone?” another fan echoed.
“The Bucks need young prospects and high-value first-round picks; there is no chance Rudy Gobert and Julius Randle would draw interest from the Bucks. They may have interest in Jaden McDaniels and Naz Reid, but the problem is the Timberwolves have no tradable first-round picks.” one fan explained.
While the rumors about the Greek Freak are going around stronger and stronger, Antetokounmpo has maintained his silence on all this. Antetokounmpo continues to hail his Bucks as his own team.
