The Los Angeles Lakers already pulled off one of the biggest ‘steals’ in NBA history by signing Luka Doncic in the February market in exchange for Anthony Davis before the trade deadline. Now, Rob Pelinka, the team’s general manager and architect of that signing, is planning to make another splash: signing Giannis Antetokounmpo to support LeBron James and Luka Doncic.
After failing in the first round against the Minnesota Timberwolves (4-1), it became clear that LeBron and Doncic are not enough for a Lakers team that needs to strengthen if it wants to challenge for the title again. In this scenario, the Lakers are planning to go all out to try to land Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has already met with the Bucks and would be willing to join the Los Angeles team if both franchises reach an agreement, according to Shams Charania of ESPN.

Antetokounmpo’s meeting with the Bucks
Meanwhile, the future of Giannis Antetokounmpo in Milwaukee has never been more uncertain. The Bucks were humiliated by the Pacers in the first round of the playoffs (4-1) and NBA sources have confirmed that Giannis has already begun serious talks with management to address his future and that of the franchise.
Warriors @ Timberwolves – NBA Game Recaps
The Greek, at 30 years old, has seen how despite his great individual performance, with averages this season of 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds and 6.5 assists, his team has stagnated, falling far short of being able to compete with the Boston Celtics, Indiana Pacers and Cleveland Cavaliers, the most powerful teams in the Eastern Conference at present.
A complicated operation with many edges
The operation, in any case, would not be easy for the Bucks, who would have to justify to their fans why they are parting with their franchise player (and the background of Doncic’s departure from Dallas does not help) nor for the Lakers, who would have to part with several players and draft picks.Milwaukee would accept such a trade would be to receive a lot of compensation in return for the Greek. Some US media outlets are already suggesting that the Lakers would be willing to give the Bucks two of their starters, Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura, a defensive specialist such as Jarred Vanderbilt and Dalton Knecht as well as a 2031 first-round pick and a 2026 first-round pick swap
The Greek has a megacontract
It would also require Rob Pelinka to do some financial engineering to fit the Greek’s high salary into his squad. Antetokounmpo earned $48.7 million this season and has two years remaining on his contract at $57.6 million (2026) and $62.2 million (2027), plus a player option for 2028 for $66.8 million.
If this complicated operation is finally carried out, the Lakers could reunite one of the best ‘Big Threes’ in NBA history with LeBron James in what could be the last year of his professional career, Luka Doncic at a time of splendid maturity, and Giannis Antetokounmpo, a player who is unbalanced in offensive transitions as a finisher and a great defender who would not have all the scoring responsibility, as he does now with the Bucks.

“Vinicius desmanteló al Villarreal”
Un gol; otro con penaltito provocado (o fabricado) por él; su marcador, Mouriño, expulsado por dos amarillas; y otro penalti que pudo caer, por derribo del meta Arnau Tenas. Ese fue el saldo de Vinicius en el partido ante el Villarreal, un equipo de mucho calado que sin esa gran noche del brasileño podría haber hecho un roto en el Bernabéu.Salió con el plan de hacer el partido largo para buscarlo en la segunda parte con su mejor delantero, Mikautadze, reservado de salida. Por parte del Madrid, Xabi Alonso sacó a Valverde de lateral derecho, pelillos a la mar, y dejó fuera de nuevo a Bellingham, segunda rectificación en una semana del equipo que sacó ante el Atlético. El Bernabéu le mantiene un voto de confianza a pesar de la goleada del Metropolitano: no les recibió ni a él ni […]
“Del árbitro no hablo, que venga el CTA y que decida”
Marcelino García Toral, entrenador del Villarreal, aseguró que "no" le gustó "nada" el arbitraje de Guillermo Cuadra, quien señaló un penalti en su contra y expulsó a Santiago Mouriño por dos cartulinas amarillas, a la vez que insistió en que "no" iba a entrar a analizar cada jugada pero sí, con una sonrisa, se mostró irónico al decir que "algo pudo pasar".Marcelino inició su rueda de prensa siendo cuestionado por el arbitraje: "No sé. No voy a hablar del árbitro", respondió, aunque fue insistido por ello. Y, tras declarar, que "no" le gustó "nada el arbitraje" fue cuestionado sobre las palabras previas de Santi Comesaña , quien sí criticó directamente al árbitro y aseguró que "si ya es difícil ganar en el Santiago Bernabéu", con las decisiones del colegiado es "aún más difícil"."Es su opinión.

“Los penaltis los seguirá tirando Kylian, pero hoy han decidido entre ellos”
Xabi Alonso atendió a los medios de comunicación tras la importante victoria que logró el Real Madrid frente al Villarreal en el estadio Santiago Bernabéu. Un doblete de Vinicius y un tanto de Mbappé, que sigue siendo fiel a su cita con el gol, permite al club blanco marcharse al parón de selecciones con algo de tranquilidad tras la duro derrota en el Metropolitano. Sin embargo, sobre el tintero quedan aún muchos temas que tratar, como la posición de Valverde sobre el césped, una que le hace volar jugando de lateral aunque él piense que no ha nacido para ello.Así las cosas, si Valverde decidió aclarar públicamente que no se había negado a jugar de lateral es porque, sea verdad o mentira, entendió que era necesario aclarar algo. "Muy buen partido. Siempre está dispuesto para jugar donde le toque y ha […]

Erich Ladwig: I don't know what a better feeling is... Knowing wholeheartedly that your team is going to walk into your biggest rivalry game and win convincingly or the excitement surrounding an unpredictable powderkeg of a game you know is going to be huge. That's my predicament one year apart in the Miami/FSU rivalry.Part of me wants to believe that Miami will walk into Doak Campbell Stadium and leave no doubt, akin to their wins over USF and Florida. But there is a part of me that agrees with Coach Cristobal, that FSU is physical and more talented than a year ago. The proof is there: Florida State has a much more capable offense than the Gators. And even Florida was able to make the game against UM interesting for a spell.I think Florida State will score more often than […]
