Every Giannis Antetokounmpo trade update for the Golden State Warriors will be pivotal moving forward, as it will give the franchise a clear sense of where they are in their pursuit of the 10-time All-Star.
It’s safe to say the latest update regarding a potential Antetokounmpo-Warriors deal was informative news for the seven-time NBA champions. "I think (the Warriors) are not 1st in line, not 2nd, or 3rd in line really at this point as far as packages that appeal most to Milwaukee (for Giannis). " Essentially, Slater is under the impression that the Warriors, who possess the No.
11 pick in the upcoming NBA Draft and could use it to strengthen chances of acquiring Antetokounmpo, don’t have the pieces necessary to pull off a blockbuster deal for the two-time MVP. Of course, any trade offer for Antetokounmpo would have to include Jimmy Butler or Draymond Green, along with high-upside rebuilding pieces (Brandon Podziemski, Moses Moody) and draft capital (multiple first-round picks, which the Warriors own). Still, that may not be enough to be considered a top-tier package.
The Miami Heat , New York Knicks , and Los Angeles Lakers are just a few of the franchises that will be eager to land on the right side of the Antetokounmpo sweepstakes, and based on Slater’s report, they may be better-positioned to do so than the Warriors.
