76ers could shockingly win Giannis sweepstakes by making the ultimate sacrifice

While the collective eyes of the NBA world are on Giannis Antetokounmpo, the two-time MVP reportedly has eyes on the Philadelphia 76ers. As he's been scanning the market for a new hoops home away from Milwaukee, Antetokounmpo has grown intrigued by "the prospect of teaming up with Tyrese Maxey," per Marc Stein and Jake Fischer of The Stein Line.

Between Maxey's continued ascension, Joel Embiid's return to form (and desire for a trade-deadline upgrade), and the wide-open nature of the Eastern Conference, Philly's time to strike could be right now. The Sixers have the assets to land Antetokounmpo, too—but it'd cost them one of the most promising prospects in the Association.
