With that said, Greg Swartz of Bleacher Report predicts that the Houston Rockets will trade for Antetokounmpo this summer. Houston is 0-5 against Golden State in the postseason in the Steph Curry-Draymond Green era. The Rockets lost to the Warriors in the first round of this year's playoffs in seven games despite being the higher seed.

Giannis Antetokounmpo 2025 next team odds favor the Milwaukee Bucks, Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Lakers.

The Rockets find themselves on the cusp of championship contention. Their disruptive, dominant defense is camera-ready for basketball's biggest stage. Their competitive fire and the fight instilled under head coach Ime Udoka can keep sturdy legs beneath them through the final rounds of a heavyweight brawl.
