ESPN NBA analyst Brian Windhorst does suppose there’s a pathway to the Warriors buying Giannis Antetokounmpo, but when it comes to 1 factor, they aren’t going to win out.
“Sure, there’s a package deal that the Warriors may use,” Windhorst mentioned on ESPN’s Get Up. “They’ve some future draft picks. They’ve attention-grabbing younger gamers. Like final yr, Brandon Podziemski was off limits. Who is aware of if that’s going to be the case this yr? However they’ll’t win a bidding battle.
“First off, I simply need to say Giannis has not let it’s identified he actually needs out of Milwaukee, so I don’t suppose we must always assume that. If we do attain that time the place Giannis was going to go searching, he may have company on this. He has two years left on his contract. The Bucks don’t must take heed to him. But when he had been to come back to Milwaukee and say, I need to play with Steph [Curry], there could possibly be a deal labored out. The identical would apply, in my opinion, to the [New York] Knicks or [Los Angeles Lakers], if he says I need to be a Knicks, ship me to New York or I need to be a Laker. These are huge ifs. These trades can get labored out. But when it’s simply an open market, none of these three groups, for my part, may win a bidding battle with the Bucks.”
The Warriors have been linked to Antetokounmpo in a number of offseasons previously, however nothing concrete has ever occurred.
Possibly with Steph’s window closing, they’ll take a leaf out of the Lakers guide and attempt to signal Giannis.

Because the Bucks and the Warriors seasons have each come to and finish, followers are pulling all types of theories and data out.
