Many NBA viewers have the future of Giannis Antetokounmpo in mind. The Milwaukee Bucks forward will be a free agent in 2021. After two consecutive seasons as the best team in the regular season, Milwaukee failed in the postseason as Giannis played poorly when he was not injured. He is likely to leave Cream City in 2021. But where will he go?

In September, leading sports betting had Miami as a future destination for Giannis. Miami was +300 to sign the Greek freak. Toronto came in at +400 while New Orleans was +500. Aside from Miami, the other top three teams likely to sign Giannis are unlikely to sign.
