Nuggets franchise star\u00a0Nikola Jokic, who backed the move, and Westbrook are both represented by Excel Sports Management president Jeff Schwartz.<\/p>\n<p>The list goes on, with Fischer also noting the same synergy between Klutch Sports and the\u00a0Los Angeles Lakers. Their franchise stars,\u00a0LeBron James\u00a0and\u00a0Anthony Davis, are both under Klutch Sports.<\/p>\n<p>The Lakers have added several Klutch Sports clients in the past, including Cam Reddish, the former lottery pick who did not pan out in Atlanta and New York, and most recently, two-way player Christian Koloko.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Giannis Antetokounmpo\u2019s List of Potential Landing Spots: Report<\/h2>\n<p>CBS Sports\u2019 national columnist Bill Reiter\u00a0reported on October 31 that two Eastern Conference teams are on Antetokounmpo\u2019s radar.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cTeams are circling \u2014 and hopeful,\u201d one Western Conference team executive said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wouldn\u2019t be surprised if it happened by the trade deadline,\u201d said a top executive of a team that could be in the mix.<\/p>\n<p>An Eastern Conference NBA executive has already heard the places believed to be Giannis\u2019 would-be preferred destinations: \u201cThe teams I\u2019ve heard are Miami and New York \u2014 the Nets, not the Knicks.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In February,\u00a0The Athletic reported\u00a0trading for Antetokounmpo is the Warriors\u2019 \u201cdream scenario\u201d as they \u201chave long understood that a star wing next to\u00a0Curry\u00a0is their cleanest path back to title contention before Curry\u2019s late prime fades.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Warriors have the combination of young talents led by\u00a0Jonathan Kuminga, mid-size salaries such as\u00a0Andrew Wiggins\u2018 $26.2 million and draft capital to offer the Bucks for Antetokounmpo should they decide to part ways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GettyGiannis Antetokounmpo #34 of the Milwaukee Bucks is fouled by Draymond Green #23 of the Golden State Warriors.
