Despite Giannis Antetokounmpo staying with the Milwaukee Bucks at the trade deadline after months of rumors that he was going to force a trade to a contender,, Antetokounmpo has continued to assert how frustrated he is with the Bucks and how much he wants to win.

Because of that, trade rumors and possible destinations have continued to circulate throughout the NBA media landscape and a recent report has identified an interesting possible destination for the Bucks superstar.

According to HoopsHype, the Orlando Magic were one of the teams that inquired about Antetokounmpo before the deadline. At the time, the Magic may have not moved the needle or fit Antetokounmpo's desire as a contender, but with the way they've been playing against the Detroit Pistons, that all could have changed.

The Magic hold a 3-1 lead over the Pistons and are on the verge of pulling off a massive upset as the 8-seed. Throughout the season, the Magic have been held back by injuries to some of their most crucial players, but now that they have the benefit of health back on their side, they're playing their best basketball. 

They bolstered their roster ahead of this season by trading for Desmond Bane and they have young talent in players like Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner that they could use as attractive pieces to trade in exchange for Antetokounmpo. 

There's also a connection between Antetokounmpo and the Magic already with the organization.

John Hammond, a senior advisor to the Magic, was the Milwaukee general manager who drafted Antetokounmpo 15th overall in 2013, seeing potential that few others did in in him that eventually blossomed into one of the best players in the league.

There's a chance the early faith that Hammond showed in Antetokounmpo could pay off sentimentally and entice him to requesting, or at least being open to, a trade to Orlando.

Antetokounmpo on that roster would ramp up what's already a deeply physical team and transform them into a perennial contender in what's a relatively open Eastern Conference. 

Of course, this is all speculative and considering that Antetokounmpo stayed with the Bucks this season, Milwaukee may be gearing up for a turnaround that will keep it's franchise player in green for a long time. 

The Bucks have hired Taylor Jenkins to be their new head coach, someone that HoopsHype stated Antetokounmpo has a good relationship with going back to Jenkins' time as an assistant coach with the Bucks.
