This will be the most attractive trade offer the Milwaukee Bucks may receive for Giannis if the Warriors toss it at them.

While it’s not loaded with pick swaps and future picks like the one Los Angeles sent Oklahoma City for Paul George, it has everything a team could want for an MVP. Again, Klay Thompson has averaged over 20 points per game for five seasons while continually being a top-tier defender.

On top of that, you get two picks that will put you in a position to select a high-ceiling prospect. Ball or Anthony Edwards will be there this year, and depending on where it falls, Terrence Clarke or BJ Boston could be there next season.

If it went Boston, Edwards, and Thompson for the risk of renting Giannis just for one season, the Bucks could make out like bandits in this trade. However, the Warriors would need that reassurance before dealing such a package.

That said, this is likely the best offer Golden State would put on the table.
