I think Draymond just straight up retires if they try to send him to Milwaukee. 

Monkey paw curls and he ends up in Detroit and becomes a next level version of himself

Giannis + Turner + Kuzma salary matches for Butler + Kuminga + Draymond + Podz

As they came into the league, I loved drays play, but like many others I have grown tired of him and his antics. I know and respect what he’s done for us and how great of a player he is, but he should absolutely be discussed in trade talks.

I love that he looked and sounded nervous in that interview that was posted.

If the Warriors got Giannis and lost Draymond, it would be a total 180 in play style for Golden State. Steph would still do Steph things, but I think the Kerr motion offense wouldn’t be about to exist in the same way

Totally agree, Curry’s the only clear untouchable on that team right now.

Seriously doubt that Draymond is available. Still so important for everything they do especially on defense

Would imagine they see Podz and Kuminga as significantly more expendable

I still think it’s weird that they chose Draymond over Klay.

I feel like they’re rushing to get their offer out there and public just to be first and hoping the Bucks will snap it up because they’re eager to make a deal. Every day that goes by without a trade, however, hurts GSW’s chances because as you say, it’s not the best haul Milwaukee can get.

Its a joke compared to what other interested teams like the Trailblazers, Knicks, Raptors, or Heat would give up.

I still thinj this is just Warriors FO driving narratives. They don’t even have the best package but somehow they’re “leading” the Giannis sweepstakes lol

We have zero reason to trade him right now. They want this to happen to help steph but why should we care?

Make no mistake, if Giannis does become a warrior, Steph will play until 2030, making 2020s first rounders worthless, and 2030 is top 20 protected

Really the only asset worth anything is that 2032 pick

Its hilarious watching warriors fans try gaslighting people into “oh Steph is on his last legs” shit lmfao

I am selfishly hoping that the Miami Heat acquire Giannis, but if the Warriors get him via shipping Jimmy’s contract to Milwaukee as a salary dump, that would bring a smile to my face.

Appreciated the time we had ‘Playoff Jimmy’, but that last season he really went scorched earth to get out of Miami and force his way to Phoenix.

2026 pick is probably gonna be mid teens to early 20s. The 2026 draft is also very good. Idk if I’d call it useless.

Its a terrible offer.

But, but, but post Steph picks! Yeah, but Giannis will be there and they’ll have cap space while being the team all the players grew up watching.

They won’t be competitors, but they aren’t going to be the fucking wizards. 

Before the 2019 finals you probably would have said a the Warriors 2020 pick was not very valuable

It’s the NBA and Steph is about to be 38yrs old

If Steph gets hurt, the Warriors future picks are going to be top 5 picks for the foreseeable future. People always say, well they’re not valuable because Giannis will be on the team….

That’s true of every team Giannis will get traded to. The difference with the Warriors is Steph is 38yrs old…Giannis likely doesn’t stay on the Warriors past Steph’s contract and if Steph gets hurt, they’d basically be a worse version of the Bucks today.

The Warriors are willing to go all in for the next two seasons and are offering up to 7yrs worth of picks…

Pretty sure the Warriors future firsts should be viewed as the most valuable picks in the league as they’re almost guaranteed to go back to being a Kings level franchise was once Steph retires and he’s holding on by a thread right now given his supporting cast the last few years

How is the 2028 pick useless? There is a chance Curry is retired by then and, if he’s not, he’ll be 40 years old. There is no guarantee the team will even make the playoffs. It could easily convey into a lottery pick.

You wouldn’t trade a top 15 player oat in his prime for a 36 year old off an acl injury and a lottery ticket or two?

Part of that is because they still have him guarding centers.

He can absolutely still guard at a high level. Anybody that disagrees doesn’t know or watch basketball. Elite defensive vision, positioning, and screening don’t rely on athleticism and he has all that on top of being a floor general on the defensive end. I can’t stand Draymond but he’s still a high level defender if nothing else. 

Still sets high quality illegal screens and im not sure warriors want to give that up

lmao Draymond definitely still defends at a high level. Part of why Draymond is such a polarizing player is because the casual fan has no clue how to evaluate the things he does lol

He’s not the guy he used to be by any means, but there’s a reason why a pretty unimpressive defensive roster still ranks as the 7th best defense in the league

Some of y’all really need a reality check. There is no one else the Warriors can have that replaces what Draymond does on the court. His only issue is the cheap fucking bullshit he pulls.

Because it’s a trade, not free agency

I think because his preferred destinations (Knicks and Heat) don’t have the assets Bucks want. The teams that do (e.g. Spurs) are inclined to keep their current core.

Giannis doesn’t exactly get to pick

Totally the same except for Curry still being great and the Warriors still being good instead of Kobe and the Lakers both sucking ass.

When did he do that?

Yea Warriors only chance to get Giannis is if he specifically says he wants to go there or is OK going there and wants to get traded before the deadline

If he’s still on the Bucks after the trade deadline, they have no chance in the off season

Double brutal, is this whole Giannis pursuit is likely going to stop them from making other moves before the deadline…

So just an overall wasted season anyways

He’s working overtime for the Warriors FO.

My dad works at Nintendo. He said Jokic is about to get traded for Wemby straight up.

Why would Giannis do this? He’ll be stuck on a shit team in what 12-24 months time without Curry by his side. I can see why curry would do this

that is bullshit if thats the case they would just go to miami who can offer 3 with better upside players

Can confirm. I am the GM.

My best friend is an astronaut and tells me the Houston Rockets are trading the actual moon for Giannis.

It’s not like Warriors have the same players as a decade ago, I think atp Dray knows he just doesn’t function nearly as well without Stephs gravity on the floor. Why he continues to sit games without Steph, he’s like the opposite of Harden lmao

Becomes at least a three-team deal at that point.

That’s what I’ve been saying for Giannas GS is the worst option but for the FO as of rn it’s the bet thing is if they wait till the summer they will get better offers but I don’t see how Giannas can look at GS and say yea I wanna stay here even though there best player will retire in 2-3 years he wants to sign an extension but in GS it’s literally the worst option bc when Steph retires they will be horrible and he knows that it’s not hard to see.

I mean if that stage is the finals, a lot of people will be happy in the bay, even if Giannis goes on his way in 18 months.

Don’t you dare put us into that equation, we wouldn’t want him.

*player

PlayerrRR

And alot of picks

They really do operate, institutionally, like they’ve still got a team full of superstars. Especially after the whole Kuminga cycle we’ve just been subjected to where they act pikachu surprise face over the dawning realization that nobody in their right minds wants to take on Kuminga’s bloated contract, particularly after Kerr’s spent a half season treating him like a scrub on a ten-day.
