Bold Trade Proposal Pairs Giannis Antetokounmpo With Stephen Curry; Warriors Start New Dynasty

The Golden State Warriors could be on the verge of something phenomenal by pairing Giannis Antetokounmpo with Stephen Curry. We take a look at a trade proposal that allows the Dubs to reinvigorate their dynasty.

The Golden State Warriors have been very closely linked with Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo in the offseason. The Bucks forward effectively shook the league after announcing his decision to entertain trade talks, and by doing so, also expressed his desire to play with Warriors’ star Stephen Curry.

Antetokounmpo has been rumored to show a rising interest in joining forces with Curry on the Warriors. Although the forward had presented a list of preferences when it comes to trade destinations, his appearances in San Francisco certainly don’t give away where his true intentions lie.

As things stand, teams like the Miami Heat, the Toronto Raptors, and the San Antonio Spurs have looked like some of the most likely destinations. While the Warriors have also been presented as a potential landing spot, the consensus has been that the team may not be able to afford him.

Antetokounmpo comes with a massive $54.1 million cap hit. While Golden State is very comfortable with paying the luxury tax, a trio of Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Antetokounmpo will render the organization helpless with adding more players to the team.

But what if there was a way to make such a trade happen without the Warriors giving up their star players? In our bold trade proposal, we present a three-trade to make such a deal happen.

The blockbuster trade sees a lot of moving parts. However, it could prove to be beneficial for each team in some manner.

The Warriors Dynasty Is Reborn With Giannis Antetokounmpo

The Golden State Warriors were the most prolific franchise in the last 10 years. Having won four titles in eight years, the Dubs set themselves apart as one of the NBA’s best teams.

Although the side hasn’t fallen out of title contention, they aren’t considered favorites anymore. The arrival of Giannis Antetokounmpo would immediately change that.

Antetokounmpo, on his day, is the most dominant player on the floor. His regular season averages of 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, and 6.5 assists are phenomenal, especially considering his shooting average of 60.1% from the field.

The Greek star would single-handedly transform the Warriors team. Playing alongside a monster on the perimeter in Curry, the inside-outside combo between the two would wreak havoc on any opposing defense. Add Butler’s versatile midrange scoring to this, and the Warriors have a recipe for success.

Outside of the offensive contributions, Antetokounmpo also makes for an incredibly potent defensive force. The Warriors’ need for length in their interior would immediately be addressed by his presence in the paint. Pairing this with Green and Butler’s defensive presence and Golden State theoretically boasts the best team in the league.

The star pairing of Curry and Butler may be aging, but the team’s intentions of winning a title are still alive. While the window is short, having Antetokounmpo on the team puts the Warriors in a position to maximize their chances of winning within that small time frame.

The Milwaukee Bucks Can Begin Their Rebuild

The Bucks saw a disappointing end to their postseason campaign. After being eliminated in five games by the Indiana Pacers, the franchise was aware of the changes that needed to be made. While they intend to find a way to retain Antetokounmpo for another season, in this scenario, facilitating a trade for their star is a call for a rebuild.

This trade proposal gives the team enough capital to trigger a roster overhaul. Players such as Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody, and Patrick Williams could be of huge benefit from a developmental point of view as well.

Podziemski has shown a lot of potential as a starting guard. His pesky defensive work and streaky three-point shooting make him a threat on both ends of the floor. In his sophomore season, the 22-year-old recorded an average of 11.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game on shooting splits of 44.5% from the field and 37.2% from the three-point line.

Although he may not be the ideal fit next to Damian Lillard, he certainly is a great addition from the point of view of a rebuild.

Meanwhile, Moody has been a player who has been deserving of more playing time on the Warriors. As an immensely competent two-way wing, Moody would bring a lot of value to a developing team.

The 22-year-old forward notched an average of 9.8 points and 2.3 rebounds on 43.3% shooting from the field. The forward’s cap-friendly contract makes him a solid acquisition for the Bucks.

In the guard rotation, the Bucks would also add Gary Payton II. The defensive guard has been a key element on the Warriors’ roster. Unfortunately, injuries have impacted his ability. While he remains a valuable asset, Milwaukee may opt to move him due to his age not fitting the timeline for a rebuild.

In the frontcourt, Milwaukee also acquired Trayce Jackson-Davis and Patrick Williams. The Warriors’ backup center has shown a lot of growth potential, averaging 6.6 points and 5.0 rebounds per game. Meanwhile, Williams has also shown similar flashes of developmental potential, with an average of 9.0 points and 3.8 rebounds per game on 39.7% FG.

The Bucks are likely to see a lot of key frontcourt pieces leave the team in free agency. These acquisitions allow them to have some semblance of a frontcourt rotation.

The real prize in this trade is the draft capital that Milwaukee will be taking away. Four first-round picks and a second-round pick, all stacked over four years, are an incredible addition for the Bucks. With a rebuild in mind, the franchise has all the elements in place to structure a roster that can eventually compete for a playoff spot again.

The Chicago Bulls Find Their Next Star

Much like Antetokounmpo, Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga has also been a name that has been floating around in the trade market. After a series of games saw him sidelined or receiving fewer minutes, the forward stepped in for the team in the postseason. Unfortunately, the result was not something that favored Golden State.

Kuminga’s position with the Warriors has already been addressed by head coach Steve Kerr. Having been made known of the fact that he will not be receiving more minutes, it is more than likely that the 22-year-old will be on the way out of San Francisco in the offseason.

In this scenario, the Bulls would be a great landing spot for him. The Warriors forward has aspirations of becoming an All-Star, and the Bulls are in dire need of one.

Chicago is currently spearheaded by young forward Matas Buzelis, supported by Coby White and Josh Giddey. The addition of Kuminga immediately bolsters the roster while also giving Buzelis a legitimate young star as a running mate.

Kuminga averaged 15.3 points and 4.6 rebounds per game in only 24.3 minutes played in the regular season. With a scope for astronomical improvement in a different system, the forward could explore and cultivate his offensive abilities to his fullest.

Chicago also has a legacy of developing star talent. By acquiring Kuminga, the Bulls may not become competitive right away, but it certainly puts them on the path to something interesting.
