Giannis Antetokounmpo made an Instagram post on Monday night dedicated to completing his 13th season in the league with the Milwaukee Bucks . The caption, however, is what caused fans to go into a frenzy after the nine-time all-star suggested a possible move to the Phoenix Suns ?! "This has been one of the toughest seasons in my career, but as they say, like a phoenix from the ashes, I'll rise," Antetokounmpo wrote.
In a season where the two-time MVP was heavily involved in trade talks, multiple teams have been named as likely destinations for the NBA champion.

Phoenix surprised many this season, making the playoffs for the first time since trading Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets , thanks to the leadership of five-time all-star Devin Booker and a breakout season from Dillon Brooks.
Not to mention, the Suns also have Jalen Green, who has the potential to become a top guard in the years to come. In many cases, these cryptic posts prove meaningless in the long run, but how well would Antetokounmpo fit with Phoenix? Although Booker has paired with two Hall of Famers within the past five seasons, with Durant and Chris Paul, we have never seen him with a teammate like Antetokounmpo before.
