3) Miami Heat +600
The Miami Heat always tend to be involved when a star player's name is on the trade market, and the ability to play in South Beach for an organization with a rich history is a strong selling point. If the Heat chooses to make a splash for another star following their recent experience with Jimmy Butler, Antetokounmpo would be an ideal candidate.

4) Los Angeles Lakers +800
Rob Pelinka has already proven he's not afraid to make a blockbuster move, especially if it gives the Los Angeles Lakers a chance to contend now and in the future. A move to pair Antetokounmpo alongside Luka Doncic for the foreseeable future would almost certainly do just that.

Odds to Win NBA Championship: +1800
5) LA Clippers +900
Another team that is always looking to improve is the LA Clippers. If they could find a way to bring Antetokounmpo to the West Coast, it would be a no-brainer, especially for an owner who's willing to do anything to win.

Odds to Win NBA Championship: +5500
6) Houston Rockets +1100
The Houston Rockets have quietly geared up to make a splash in the near future. With multiple assets, including veterans and young players to pair alongside draft compensation, Ime Udoka's squad has everything they need to make a blockbuster trade at any time.

7) Golden State Warriors +1200
The Golden State Warriors championship window with Stephen Curry is winding down, and general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. has made it clear he'll do anything to capitalize on the moment. If Antetokounmpo became available, a move to land him would allow the team a chance to contend now and in the future.

Odds to Win NBA Championship: +3700
8) Toronto Raptors +1600
The Toronto Raptors have made it clear they hope to contend for a championship again soon. Over the last couple of years, the team has slowly stacked talent to put themselves in the conversation for the next time a superstar requests out of their current situation. And with Antetokounmpo seeming to be the next big name to request out, Toronto could be a team to watch.

9) San Antonio Spurs +1800
The San Antonio Spurs are quietly building one of the most talented and young rosters at the bottom of the Western Conference. And pairing up a talent like Victor Wembanyama alongside Antetokounmpo would be a nightmare for opposing teams in the NBA.
