Giannis Antetokounmpo Trade: possible Golden State Warriors package to acquire the reigning MVP



[ad_1]

Giannis Antetokounmpo had another postseason slump with the Milwaukee Bucks. The seeded team in the East was eliminated only in the second round. Additionally, Giannis fought the entire series against the Miami Heat defense.

The Gree Freak could win his second MVP soon, but it looks like his journey as a Bucks player is drawing to a close. Many teams are interested in acquiring the reigning MVP if the Bucks are open to talking about a potential trade.

Plus, even if the Bucks don’t trade him, there’s always the chance that Giannis will retire in 2021 free agency. For Milwaukee, letting go of a superstar with no return could spell trouble. So they should change it, if you want to get out.

The Golden State Warriors are a possible destination for the Greek Freak. The Warriors have the perfect system for Giannis to thrive. You will be surrounded by amazing shooters so you will have more lanes to drive to the bucket.

Plus, the Warriors themselves are coming off a catastrophic season. They finished last in the league, but it gave them the No. 2 pick in the 2020 NBA draft. Plus, their top 2 stars in Steph and Klay were also out due to injuries.

In his absence, it was too much for Draymond Green to lead the team to a respectable record. As a result, the team collapsed, hoping for better results next season.

What can the Warriors offer for Giannis Antetokounmpo?

The Warriors are one of the few teams that actually have the pieces to trade for Giannis. They’ll have enough cap room to sign Giannis to a bigger deal once his contract expires. The best possible trade for both teams would be, if Giannis in exchange for Draymond Green, Jordan Poole, Eric Paschall, Marquese Chriss and Ky Bowman.

This trade will be fair to both teams and they won’t have to pay too much luxury tax either. Also, the Bucks can avoid going into an immediate rebuilding phase with Green and Middleton as the best players.

According to ESPN’s trading machine, this trade will help the Warriors add three more wins to their projected win total. While the Bucks will only lose 9 more games than their projected record.

What you think? Will this trade make sense for both teams or should the Bucks try again next season?
