Former Nets F Theo Pinson talks potential Giannis Antetokounmpo trade
The Brooklyn Nets are looking forward to the 2025 NBA Draft in June where they will have five total picks to use for whatever they choose, including bringing in more young talent. While Brooklyn is in the early stages of a rebuild that will see them bring in plenty of players, there is a chance that the rumors connecting the Nets to a certain superstar have some validity.
"Brooklyn, I heard, is a real, real thing. You gotta really think about Brooklyn's track record. Now, they did put one hell of a (expletive) team together, right? (Nets general manager) Sean marks knows how to go get the (expletive) done," Theo Pinson said on the "To The Baha" podcast while discussing Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. Pinson spent the first two years of his career in Brooklyn and has kept up with what the franchise has done even after his departure.

"Like I said, Ray, we played in New York. Ain't much like it," Pinson continued while speaking to former New York Knicks guard Raymond Felton. "It's a unbelievable place to live. You want to experience it. He's (Antetokounmpo) going to make a ton of money if he goes to the market in New York."
Antetokounmpo could potentially leave the Bucks this summer via trade if the organization is willing to grant that request should matters between him and the team come to that. NBA insider Chris Haynes reported earlier this week that Antetokounmpo is expected to meet with Milwaukee ownership to discuss what the future will look like for a franchise that hasn't made out of the first round since the 2021-22 season.
There have been various reports this offseason suggesting that Antetokounmpo would be willing to leave the Bucks if he were heading to a bigger market, such as New York City, for example. If what Pinson is saying is true, Antetokounmpo could be in a Nets jersey next season if he decides that he wants a change of scenery, something that the Nets are reportedly hoping for.
