Victor Wembanyama, Giannis Antetokounmpo trade gets Spurs-Bucks a blockbuster move image

Giannis Antetokounmpo is officially the center of attention of offseason trade rumors with the Milwaukee Bucks.

There's no telling yet whether there are any legs to the trade ideas, but it won't stop the mill from churning.

And The Sporting News' Stephen Noh threw out some possible landing spots for Antetokounmpo. One of the smartest, and craziest, and best possible outcomes? Giannis to the Spurs.

Can you imagine Antetokounmpo teaming with Victor Wembanyama in San Antonio? Please give us that, basketball gods.

Here's how Noh explains it:

Giannis' timeline doesn't quite line up with Victor Wembanyama's, but Wemby is already a top-10 player. It's never too early to go for it with a guy that good. 

The Spurs have young players in Devin Vassell and Keldon Johnson that they could use to match Giannis' salary. They also have control of all of their draft picks going forward. They wouldn't want to, but they could include Rookie of the Year winner Stephon Castle if needed.

If the Spurs could somehow get Giannis without Castle, that'd be even bigger. That would be a massive scare to the rest of the NBA.

Wembanyama is enough of a unicorn by himself. He might not need another one, but if Giannis is available, San Antonio should pursue it.

The Bucks just had a disappointing end to the season. Antetokounmpo probably doesn't want to think about the future yet, but he will soon enough.

And more and more, it seems like we'll just have to deal with the rumors until we find out what's true and apparently working out.
