Quite a bit has been made of the Golden State Warriors potentially trading for Giannis Antetokounmpo, but that wouldn’t a smart move.
The league’s reigning MVP, Giannis Antetokounmpo is on track to secure the most-coveted award for a second-straight season. Could the Golden State Warriors manage a trade that brings him to the Bay?
He’s been terrific. This season, Giannis is averaging 29.6 points, 13.7 rebounds, and 5.8 assists to go along with 1.0 blocks and 1.0 steals per game.
That’s almost an unheard of combination of numbers, but Giannis has consistently put them on the box score, and he’s clearly been getting the national coverage that a player of his caliber deserves.
Let’s not even mention that his Bucks are easily the best team in the Eastern Conference and may be considered the favorite to win the NBA Finals with the Warriors a mere 15-win team due to season-defining injuries from Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.
But, a forward-thinking team, the Warriors may have an interest in bringing in the league’s MVP. It would be a tough deal to pull off in the first place, and secondly, it may not even be worth the risk.
Trading for him would bring several risks.
