In an interview with\u00a0The Athletic\u2019s Sam Amick Antetokounmpo jokingly said \u201c(What) if this year doesn\u2019t go well?\u2019 Yeah, if we don\u2019t win a championship, I might get traded. Yeah, this is the job we live. This is the world we\u2019re living in. It\u2019s everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Warriors Trade Assets Being Protected for Giannis?<\/h2>\n<p>One of the theories around the league is that Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. and team ownership resisted trading Kuminga and\/or Podziemski for All-Stars such as\u00a0Paul George\u00a0and\u00a0Lauri Markkanen\u00a0as they were waiting for a true game-changer such as Antetokounmpo, one of the consensus top-three players in the NBA.<\/p>\n<p>The Warriors have internally had their eyes set on Antetokounmpo, the 2021 NBA Finals MVP, for several years, per The Athletic\u2019s Amick.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne that I think is just always gonna be monitored around the NBA is if the wheels fall off the Bucks,\u201d Amick said on \u201cThe TK Show\u201d podcast in September,\u00a0via EuroHoops.\u00a0\u201cWe know that Joe Lacob has had dreams of Giannis coming the Warriors\u2019 way for a very long time. Again, unlikely, but Khris Middleton is gonna be a free agent next summer\u2026 I think Giannis is worth monitoring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Warriors are reportedly \u201caroused\u201d at the thought of pairing Giannis with Steph Curry.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/GYLqp8hWwAEPdrC.jpg?format=jpg&amp;name=small\" alt=\"Image\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Athletic referred\u00a0to Antetokounmpo as the Warriors\u2019 \u201cdream scenario\u201d in a report in February 2024 soon after they\u00a0attempted to trade for LeBron James.<\/p>\n<p>Several former NBA players have also urged the Warriors to make the Antetokounmpo -Stephen Curry pairing a reality, in light of the former\u2019s fading title window. Curry turns 37 in March 2025.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only way I see Golden State getting back to where they need to get back to is if they can find a way to get Giannis over there,\u201d Celtics legend Paul Pierce said on the August 23 episode of\u00a0\u201cTicket &amp; The Truth\u201d podcast.<\/p>\n<p>Antetokounmpo has a player option for the 2027-28 season, meaning he\u2019s under contract for four full seasons with Milwaukee. As such, the Warriors or any other team pursuing him would have to lure the Bucks with a massive haul of assets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GettyGiannis Antetokounmpo, Stephen Curry The chatter of\u00a0Giannis Antetokounmpo\u00a0potentially asking out of the\u00a0Milwaukee Bucks\u00a0grew louder entering the 2024-25 season, especially in light of\u00a0Khris Middleton\u2019s injuries\u00a0and\u00a0Damian Lillard\u2018s fading superstardom&#8230;. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":1763,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1757","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
