The Golden State Warriors have an important offseason ahead of them as they try to build around their aging trio of Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green to compete for a championship next season.
Of course, the Warriors ended the regular season on fire as they climbed to seventh in the Western Conference and then advanced past the No. 2 seed Houston Rockets in the first round.
Golden State was then eliminated in the second round by the Minnesota Timberwolves after they were unable to overcome a hamstring injury suffered by Curry in Game 1.
Now the Warriors enter the offseason with some key decisions to make regarding how they want to build around their aging trio to make the roster into a title contender.
One route they could go is potentially trading for Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo as they have been linked to the two-time MVP winner.
Despite this, a recent question was brought up about how adding Giannis could impact the future of the franchise.
“What it would take to have Giannis, Steph, Jimmy, and Draymond all on the Warriors, you’re talking about a carcass. Those four and 12 Pat Spencers,” Mark Willard said on The Crossover. “And you’d have no assets for years to come. What if you get Giannis, I guarantee a title next year, however after that you have 12 years of no playoffs. Do you make the trade?”

This is an interesting question to ask and also a good one as the Warriors would give up their entire future to potentially land Giannis for a chance at a championship.
Of course, a roster headlined by Giannis, Curry, Butler and Green would be a title contender next season but with three of the four players in the final years of their careers and Giannis not likely to stick around after they retire, it would be a major risk for the franchise’s future.
