NBA executives still view the Lakers as the "frontrunners" for a potential “earthquake” trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo this summer, per @SeanDeveney
"League executives give the Lakers the upper hand in an Antetokounmpo sweepstakes... “A lot of it will depend on Giannis and where he wants to go, whether it is New York or L.A.,” the exec said. “He could decide the East has a better path to the Finals. But the Lakers want to make that real earthquake kind of trade to set things up with Doncic. had their eye on making a move for him, now, or in free agency (in 2027). If that’s what he wants, they’ll be ready for him.”"
