Bucks Trade Giannis Antetokounmpo To Warriors In Blockbuster Deal Proposal
As the NBA offseason heats up, the Golden State Warriors appear to be exploring bold moves to maximize Stephen Curry’s remaining championship window. After their disappointing playoff exit, attention has turned to potential blockbuster trades, with Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo emerging as a tantalizing possibility despite still being under contract through 2027.
Trade speculation has intensified following recent NBA playoff eliminations for both teams. The Warriors, facing roster uncertainty with multiple free agents, could potentially offer a package centered around Jonathan Kuminga along with multiple first-round draft picks extending to 2031.
According to ESPN analysts, Golden State represents one of the few organizations with both the assets and championship pedigree that might entice the Bucks should Antetokounmpo eventually indicate interest in moving on from Milwaukee.
“Yes, there is a package that the Warriors could use,” Brian Windhorst said this week. “They have some future draft picks. They have interesting young players. Like last year, Brandin Podziemski was off limits. Who knows if that’s going to be the case this year?”
What Will The Golden State Warriors Offer?
The Warriors have assembled a compelling trade package that could potentially land Giannis Antetokounmpo in Golden State. Their offer would likely center around promising young talent and future draft assets that could appeal to the Milwaukee Bucks if they decide to move their franchise cornerstone.
Jonathan Kuminga would almost certainly headline any Warriors’ package for the Greek superstar. The athletic forward has shown flashes of elite potential and would give Milwaukee a young building block. Additionally, Brandin Podziemski, who was previously considered untouchable, might now be included in discussions for a player of Antetokounmpo’s caliber.
In terms of draft capital, Golden State could offer:
- Two first-round picks (2026, 2028)
- A potential third first-round pick (2031)
- Pick swaps in alternate years (2027, 2029)
The full package might look something like this:
| Warriors Send | Bucks Receive |
|---|---|
| Jonathan Kuminga | Giannis Antetokounmpo |
| Brandin Podziemski | |
| Moses Moody | |
| 2026 First-Round Pick | |
| 2028 First-Round Pick | |
| Pick Swaps (2027, 2029) |
While some might question if this package matches Antetokounmpo’s value, the dynamics change if Giannis specifically requests to play alongside Steph Curry. The two-time MVP, who averaged 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, and 6.5 assists this season, would transform the Warriors instantly back into championship contenders.
From Milwaukee’s perspective, they would gain several high-upside young players and significant draft control – essential components for any rebuild after trading away a franchise cornerstone. The Warriors’ front office has demonstrated strategic acumen in past negotiations and would need to be both aggressive and calculated in their approach to land one of the league’s premier talents.
