Speculation is growing that GIannis might be on his way to the Toronto Raptors even before his free agency is in place. This is the theory being pushed by Sports Illustrated's Chris Mannix. According to Mannix on Twitter, "Outlandish prediction: Giannis Antetokounmpo rejects a contract extension from Milwaukee this summer, is traded to Toronto and the Raptors—backstopped by Giannis and Pascal Siakam—win the 2021 NBA championship. Masai Ujiri strikes again," Mannix wrote in his latest column Friday.

The GM of the Raptors, Ujiri has long made Giannis a target for free agency. The Raptors have been keeping space available for for Giannis in 2021-2022
Is this all speculation or can you see Giannis in Toronto?
