Bringing Kevin Durant and Giannis Antetokounmpo on to the same team is a scary thought. These two generational athletes would wreak havoc on the rest of the league. Durant’s finesse and 3-point shooting would compliment Giannis’ brute strength and athleticism.

The Bucks could stand to lose a few of their assets in return for a superstar like Durant. By giving up Khris Middleton, Ersan Ilyasova, Thon Maker and a 2023 First Round pick, KD could find himself on the Milwaukee Bucks.

Golden State receives multiple role players to help strengthen their bench. Thon Maker is an enormous 7-foot-1-inch monster. At only 21 years of age, Maker has shown flashes of promise as a shot blocking center that can spread the floor with his 3-point shooting. Watching Golden State attempt to develop this prospect is a very intriguing idea.

Meanwhile, Middleton and Ilyasova are both players that can make the Warriors an even better shooting team. Middleton is currently averaging 17.5 points on 38.1 percent shooting from deep. The Dubs would happily welcome these two guys.
