Giannis sparked Lakers trade rumors after curious social media choice

Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo made a choice on social media that has many fans firing up the NBA Trade Machine with potential ideas.

As the Bucks have struggled this season with a record below .500 to start the campaign, some have wondered (again) if Antetokounmpo may want a trade out of Milwaukee. This is, of course, nothing new for Milwaukee. Such speculation has constantly surrounded the 2021 NBA Finals MVP and it is a problem.

Even if the trade talks reportedly never get serious and are consistently refuted, a recent decision by Antetokounmpo did not cool the conversations. This time, his decision to scrub his social media also led to a notable observation.

It didn't take to long to notice that while Giannis deleted all of his posts over the past several years, he left one up.

It was a birthday wish to the late Kobe Bryant, which means his most recent social media post is a reference to the Los Angeles Lakers.

While the Lakers don't exactly have the assets to get a deal done for Giannis, pairing him with Luka Dončić would likely make the two the best international duo teammates to ever play basketball.
