Why the Warriors trade Draymond Green for Giannis is unlikely
With Giannis Antetokounmpofuture with Milwaukee Bucks in question, there will be many teams trying to get him. One team that continues to grow is Golden State Warriorsbut what some are wondering is who they would trade to get him. Draymond Green’s name has been talked about over the past week, but it doesn’t seem like it it will happenaccording to Brett Siegel of Clutch Points.
“I don’t know how many times we have to say this, but the Warriors will NOT trade Draymond Green. As we reported, Green, Kerr and Curry would all have to sign off on such a move, and Green himself would have to say he wants to be traded,” Siegel wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Green’s name came up earlier this week in a report from NBA insider Jake Fisher.
“The Warriors have also been reluctant to consider win-all moves that would require them to trade Draymond Green, but Antetokounmpo would likely change that equation for the Golden State brass,” Fisher wrote. “That’s been the theme here, right? So many front offices have been resistant to making certain players or picks available. But Antetokounmpo is so dominant, so transcendent, that his availability has the power to change the calculus of nearly every front office around the league.”
Then he doubled down days later, saying the only player was the Warriors would be willing to move Green for would be Antetokounmpo.
It makes sense that the Warriors would make a deal just in that scenario, but there’s also one more thing to consider: would Antetokounmpo sign an extension with the team?
That should be a question any team that wants him should ask, and the Warriors would likely be more willing to stick with their core group.
