No. 3
Bucks receive: Klay Thompson, James Wiseman, and 2021 first-round pick (MIN)
Warriors receive: Giannis Antetokounmpo
The Warriors’ five-time All-Star Klay Thompson is a fan favorite. He’s loved by many, and the Warriors gave him a max-value contract at the end of the 2018-2019 season.
He’ll have missed the next two seasons after signing the deal. While that’s diminished his trade value, he is expected to make a full recovery. Aside from Stephen Curry, this deal would give Milwaukee the Warriors top-three assets.
As we’ve noted, Wiseman is a 7-footer that has a 7-foot-6 wingspan. He’ll be a dominant defensive center and could develop a nice offensive game. The 2021 first-round pick could produce a BJ Boston or Terrence Clarke-like player.
Mix Boston, Thompson, Wiseman, and Jrue Holiday in a rotation and you’ll easily have a playoff team. They’re solid combinations the Bucks would have in their arsenal by selling Giannis for this package.
