"I think if we're talking about trading draft picks that will be going out when Steph isn't here, it's gonna have to be a player we think we'll be getting back that is gonna be here when those picks are going out," Dunleavy said on Jan. 20, the day after Butler tore his ACL. "If there's a great player to be had, we've got everything in the war chest that we would be willing to use."
"On the surface, bringing a Top 30 player of all time in Antetokounmpo still in his prime at 31 and pairing him with Steph Curry seems like a no-brainer. Even if Antetokounmpo is sidelined for the next few weeks with a calf injury, he will eventually bring 28 points and 10 rebounds per game to the floor while being a rim-rattling presence the team has not had since Wilt Chamberlain."
"Multiple outlets have reported that the Bucks are intrigued by the Warriors' possible trade package centered around the embattled Jonathan Kuminga, injured Jimmy Butler's contract and a boatload - no, a Noah's Ark - of franchise-rebuilding future draft picks."
The Warriors are evaluating a potential trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo that would likely include Jonathan Kuminga, Jimmy Butler's contract, and numerous future draft picks. Antetokounmpo, age 31 and a two-time MVP and nine-time All-NBA selection, projects roughly 28 points and 10 rebounds per game and would pair with Steph Curry to create a dominant contender. Injuries factor into the decision: Antetokounmpo faces a short-term calf issue and Butler tore his ACL, while contract timelines and the timing of outgoing picks relative to Curry's contract are central considerations for management.
