The NBA trade rumors are buzzing again and making the headlines around the star players Giannis Antetokounmpo and Stephen Curry.
The Golden State Warriors are going to make a major change on their roster to contend for the championship in the upcoming NBA Season.
Even though these are just trade speculations, they give us a glimpse of the possible reshaping of the Warriors’ roster.
The Golden State Warriors have purely built their roster on a fast-paced, 3 shooting small-ball lineup. However, the Warriors have noticed a vulnerability, the lack of size in the paint, which needs to be addressed.
The Warriors have struggled to play against the NBA teams with dominating big men.
‘Greek Freak’ Giannis Antetokounmpo Faces Uncertain Future with Bucks After Playoff Exit and Contract Drama
Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the most versatile and dominant players in the NBA, also known as “Greek Freek.” He performed well against the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2021-22 NBA Season.
But his recent injury and his premature exit from the 2023 playoffs have raised a question about his current team, the Bucks.
Antetokounmpo has contract issues with the Bucks, which is why many teams are showing interest in him. The Greek Freek’s contract will end in 2025, but his comments about not extending his contract with the Bucks have sparked a wave of speculations.
Chris Broussard’s Suggestion
A popular NBA Insider, Chris Broussard, has shared his thoughts and opinions on Giannis’ contract situation. He said:
“I don’t think Giannis should sign an extension with the Bucks.”
“Even if they win another championship, keep your options open… no one will kill you for leaving there with one title.”
Giannis Antetokounmpo Hypothetical Trade Possibilities
Between all the discussions and arguments, a trade proposal involving Antetokounmpo and Stephen Curry has emerged. Here is how it goes:
- The Golden State Warriors will receive Giannis Antetokounmpo.
- The Milwaukee Bucks will receive Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, Gary Payton II, Moses Moody, Trayce Jackson-Davis, the 2027 First Round Draft Pick (GSW), and the 2024 First Round Draft Pick (favoring Milwaukee Bucks).

The Warriors have to give up a lot to acquire the superstar player from the Bucks. If they successfully acquire “The Greek Freak,” then they can pair him with Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.
