The Houston Rockets have been in the mix for almost every trade rumor. Could they trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo?

The draft lottery delivered a true stunner, with the Dallas Mavericks improbably cashing their 1.8 percent chance to land the No. 1 pick. Even before that improbable ping-pong ball bounce, the rumor mill was in a frenzy with trade talks surrounding a two-time MVP (who's very much still in his prime).

According to Kelly Iko and Sam Amick, Antetokounmpo has emerged as their top trade target among a list of stars, which includes Phoenix Suns stars Kevin Durant and Devin Booker and New Orleans Pelicans oft-injured All-Star Zion Williamson.

However, there is one team that could be perfect for Antetokounmpo to slide right in and compete for a title in the San Antonio Spurs, proposed by NBA analyst Frank Michael Smith.
