Although his brother receives way more attention, Thanasis Antetokounmpo has played in the NBA for several seasons now.
For the last several years, he has been playing alongside his brother Giannis but there is a chance the Milwaukee Bucks move Antetokounmpo to another team.
According to Bovada, via NBACentral, the New York Knicks have the best shot at landing him if he does get traded from the Bucks.
Their odds sit at +150, while the Brooklyn Nets are behind them with +250.
The Washington Wizards, Los Angeles Clippers, Portland Trail Blazers, and Utah Jazz all have odds of +550.
The Knicks are considered the favorites to acquire Thanasis Antetokounmpo should the Milwaukee Bucks decide to trade him, per @BovadaOfficial

Antetokounmpo has a career average of just .8 points, .4 rebounds, and .5 assists per game and he doesn’t get much time on the floor.
This season, he is only on the court for 4.1 minutes per game.
If he does head to New York, he will once again play for his first team, as he suited up for the Knicks in 2015-16.
Following that, he spent a few years overseas before returning to the NBA and joining the Bucks.
It is interesting that the Knicks have the best shot at acquiring Antetokounmpo because they have long been linked to his brother.
During the most recent offseason, there was growing concern that Giannis could leave the Bucks.
He even made some public statements that suggested that was possible.
Around that time, many people agreed that the Knicks had the best shot of signing Giannis if he said goodbye to Milwaukee.
The Damian Lillard trade seemed to cement his loyalty to the Bucks, but would Giannis think of heading to New York in the future, especially if his beloved brother was there?
