Rockets Remain Heavily Invested in Landing Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo

The Milwaukee Bucks are facing a crossroads in the team's future as star Giannis Antetokounmpo and the franchise weigh up his future.

There have been several contenders linked to the Greek Freaks, though one of the more persistent names linked to the Bucks star is the Houston Rockets.

The Rockets were one of the best teams in the regular season, having a great defense and athletic players, though they struggled to establish themselves in the playoffs and generate offense to be competitive.

Houston has a lot of quality depth on the roster at all of the positions, full of young players and a few complementary veterans that bring experience.

The team also owns its own first round picks in the future with other assests.

Given the team's ammunition for a trade, the Rockets are poised to offer one of the best packages in the league.

According to Kelly Iko of The Athletic, the Rockets are aware of their viability as a trade candidate if Antetokounmpo hits the market.

"Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo remains a target, team sources said, but there has been recent uncertainty in the past week on Antetokounmpo’s actual availability — not to mention the potential asking price Milwaukee would require," Iko reported in a story on The Athletic.
