No. 2

The ultimate package could be the previous deal plus the Warriors two young studs in Paschall and Poole. It feels like Golden State really believes in their potential so including all three in a trade with the picks is unlikely.

This deal is a bit different in the fact that includes Paschall, who is just 23. The Bucks could also bring in former No. 1 overall pick Andrew Wiggins.

Wiggins’ contract has been the focal point of much scrutiny, but the Warriors took it on, riding themselves of D’Angelo Russell’s max-value deal. Wiggins played 12 games with the Warriors before the league was suspended.

The two picks are really the attraction in this deal. Again, though, the only way this deal is done is if Giannis says he wants out. It’s not a great value for the Bucks, but given the picks, it may be stronger than any other offer.
