Shaquille O’Neal advises Giannis Antetokounmpo to stay away from Lakers

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s desire to see top European players on big-market teams sparked a conversation after Luka Doncic was traded to the LA Lakers. The two-time MVP expressed his wish to see Nikola Jokic play in New York, hinting at a potential move for himself as well. However, NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal had some advice for Antetokounmpo in response to his comments.

During an episode of the “Good Word With Goodwill” podcast, O’Neal emphasized that the concept of big-market teams holding more significance has evolved since the 90s. He pointed out that in today’s social media-driven landscape, the location of a player’s team is no longer as crucial. O’Neal highlighted the financial implications, added pressure, and increased media scrutiny that come with playing in cities like Los Angeles or New York. Drawing from his own experience of moving from Orlando to the Lakers, O’Neal advised Antetokounmpo to let opportunities come to him rather than chasing them in high-profile cities.

As rumors swirl about Antetokounmpo potentially seeking a change of scenery following another disappointing playoff exit, reports have surfaced suggesting his interest in playing for states with no income taxes. Shams Charania’s report indicated that the Greek Freak is open to a trade, with sources mentioning his intrigue in teams based in Texas due to the absence of state income taxes. Specifically, the Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs have emerged as potential landing spots for the star forward.

The Houston Rockets, despite their strong regular-season performance, faltered in the playoffs due to a lack of a true offensive leader. Reports suggest that the Rockets are willing to part ways with All-Star center Alperen Sengun in a bid to acquire Antetokounmpo. On the other hand, the San Antonio Spurs possess valuable draft assets, including the No. 2 and No. 14 picks in the upcoming NBA draft. The possibility of pairing Antetokounmpo with rising talents like Stephon Castle and Victor Wembanyama could make San Antonio an appealing destination for the MVP.

In light of these developments, Antetokounmpo faces a crucial decision regarding his future in the NBA. While the allure of big-market teams may be enticing, O’Neal’s advice to focus on maximizing opportunities rather than succumbing to external pressures could influence the Greek Freak’s next career move. As the offseason unfolds, all eyes will be on Antetokounmpo’s decision and the potential impact it could have on the league.
