Kirby Lee-Imagn Images A Golden State Warriors insider believes a specific star forward should be a top target for the team this summer. However, it is now Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo . This has been another frustrating season for the Warriors and their fans.
After seeming like a dark horse to reach the NBA Finals a year ago, a hamstring injury to Stephen Curry derailed those hopes. However, they entered this season with big aspirations after a summer of chemistry building with Jimmy Butler . However, Butler tore his ACL in January, just when the team finally got on a roll.
It once again sent their title hopes down the toilet. Yet, the team did make a bold pivot to try to salvage those plans by trading for Antetokounmpo in February. Obviously, they did not achieve that goal.
But they are expected to target him again this summer. However, San Francisco Standard Warriors columnist Tim Kawakami believes there is a more sensible option. Instead of giving up a boatload of draft and player assets for the 10-time All-Star, Kawakami thinks Golden State should target Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard .
