The Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumor season is here.

The Milwaukee Bucks could look to start a new era, and if they do, Antetokounmpo's trade would net a treasure trove of future assets.

One team he's been linked to is the San Antonio Spurs to play with Victor Wembanyama in a generational pairing of basketball unicorns.

The Athletic's NBA writers recently constructed what a trade could look like between Milwaukee and San Antonio.

To get the deal done, they also included the New Orleans Pelicans.

Here's how it looked.

Bucks get: Zion Williamson Keldon Johnson 2025 first-round pick (Spurs, via Hawks) 2027 first-round pick swap rights (Pelicans) 2029 first-round pick (Spurs) Pelicans get: Devin Vassell Jeremy Sochan Pat Connaughton 2027 first-round pick (Spurs, via Hawks) Spurs get: Giannis Antetokounmpo MORE: Steph Curry era faces reckoning in Golden State It's a fascinating deal.

The Bucks begin their new era with 24-year old Williamson, one of the NBA's most talented players who just can't quite stay healthy.

Johnson is also a strong wing scorer.

The Pelicans get Vassell and Sochan to take their rebuild in a different direction from Zion.

The Spurs get Giannis, a huge accomplishment in and of itself.

They also do it while keeping Stephon Castle.

The trade is likely a bit light on the Bucks' return, especially given Williamson's injury history.

But it'd certainly shake up the entire NBA if it went down like this.
