Joe Lacob and Mike Dunleavy Jr. have done a solid job of constructing a roster that could do just that in the upcoming 2025-26 NBA season.<\/p>\n<p>However, when you\u2019re trying to reach the mountain top, keeping your ear to the trade market is a prerequisite. If a superstar suddenly becomes available, the Warriors would be wise to explore potential trade packages to bring them to the Bay Area \u2014 much like they did with Jimmy Butler in February.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where Giannis Antetokounmpo could come into the equation. The two-time MVP is reportedly unsettled with the Milwaukee Bucks, primarily due to their inability to put together a winning rotation in recent years. It\u2019s for that reason that Matt Moore of FanSided has put together an intriguing mock trade to send Giannis to the Bay Area.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed trade looks like this:<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-63\"><strong>Golden State Warriors Get:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul id=\"inline-text-64\">\n<li>Giannis Antetokounmpo<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"inline-text-65\"><strong>Milwaukee Bucks Get:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul id=\"inline-text-66\">\n<li>Draymond Green<\/li>\n<li>Moses Moody<\/li>\n<li>Buddy Hield<\/li>\n<li>Brandin Podziemski<\/li>\n<li>Two first round picks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cObviously, Draymond is the third rail here,\u201d Moore wrote. \u201cSteph Curry might never approve it. But also, if you\u2019re the Warriors, and you realize how much further your window is extended \u2026 do you do it anyway? You fundamentally reshape your entire future instead of trying to sneak out one more title. It buys you time to reconfigure and extend your success and avoid a post-Steph rebuild.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pairing Giannis and Curry would instantly position the Warriors near the top of the Western Conference. Butler would also still be on the roster, as would Al Horford. On paper, Golden State would become nearly unstoppable with Giannis drawing defenders into the paint.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Stephen A. Warns NBA Of Giannis to Warriors<\/h2>\n<p>During a recent episode of ESPN\u2019s First Take, veteran anchor Stephen A. Smith warned that pairing Giannis and Curry would be a cheat code in the NBA.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou want to talk about unfairness in the National Basketball Association, don\u2019t let Giannis get to Golden State with Steph Curry,\u201d Smith said on Oct. 9. \u201cIf that happens\u2014oh, my Lord, it wouldn\u2019t be fair to the basketball world for those two to be wearing the same uniform on the court, especially if you kept Draymond Green, who\u2019s your point forward facilitator, who\u2019s your Energizer Bunny, and who feeds Steph Curry better than anybody on the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"2a2f58e21e07c8a82d9531025a76a73f\">\n<div>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cYou want to talk about unfairness? \u2026 Don\u2019t let Giannis get to Golden State with Steph Curry. If that happens\u2026 it wouldn\u2019t be fair to the basketball world\u2026 [the Warriors] would coast to the [NBA] title.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Stephen A. Smith<\/p>\n<p>(via @FirstTake)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>On paper, Golden State would be the most seamless transition for Giannis. Their roster is already set up to maximize his skill set. Furthermore, if Milwaukee were put in a position to trade its star player, sending him out West would likely be favorable.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Warriors\u2019 Young Talent Could Be Enticing<\/h2>\n<p>Getting both Green and Buddy Hield back in a trade package for Giannis would be less than ideal for the Bucks. If they move on from their superstar forward, they will likely be entering a rebuild. Therefore, the focus would be on getting back younger talent.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody are high-level young prospects. They both have a high upside and could be intriguing prospects for the Bucks. Milwaukee\u2019s front office could also try to re-route Green and Heild in separate deals to maximize their return.<\/p>\n<p>There is a chance the Bucks could get a better package elsewhere. However, Podziemski\u2019s inclusion in the deal could give Milwaukee a solid building block for the future. And, if Giannis is drawn to the idea of life in San Francisco, there should be enough of a spine to Moore\u2019s trade proposal that Milwaukee could be tempted to play ball.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this is all speculative. But if Giannis does become available, you can\u2019t count out Golden State as a potential destination.<\/p>\n<p>Adam Taylor is a basketball reporter covering the Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors, New York Knicks and Miami Heat for Heavy.
