A resolution on the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade saga is expected in the coming weeks as ESPN's Shams Charania reports the Milwaukee Bucks superstar will evaluate whether it's in his best interest to stay in Milwaukee or pursue options elsewhere. If Giannis does ultimately decide he wants out, the Portland Trail Blazers should absolutely be working the phones to land the superstar piece they've been missing.
It's a pipe dream for a number of reasons, but the non-zero chance is worth discussing, given Portland's unique position in the Giannis sweepstakes. They have the Bucks' future draft capital thanks to the Damian Lillard trade, which Milwaukee would want back in order to enter a full-on rebuild in the post-Giannis era.
