New York Post Report: Warriors Among Teams Eyeing Giannis Antetokounmpo Trade

As the NBA offseason heats up, all eyes are on the Milwaukee Bucks and their superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. With free agency looming and big names like Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Quentin Grimes, and Brook Lopez hitting the market, the fate of the Bucks—and perhaps the entire league—could hinge on Giannis’s next move.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Antetokounmpo is keeping a close watch on Milwaukee’s offseason strategy, especially with Damian Lillard expected to miss significant time next season. The Bucks’ current roster, a far cry from their 2021 championship squad, has raised questions about their ability to contend. With Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday now gone, Milwaukee’s supporting cast looks thinner than ever.

A recent New York Post article has stirred the rumor mill, reporting that the New York Knicks, Brooklyn Nets, Golden State Warriors, Miami Heat, and San Antonio Spurs are all closely monitoring Giannis’s situation. Should the Bucks falter in their efforts to build a contender, these teams are poised to make a move. Intriguingly, Giannis shares the same agent as Warriors icon Steph Curry, potentially paving the way for a blockbuster deal to the Bay Area.

For Golden State, acquiring Antetokounmpo would likely require parting with a core piece—think Draymond Green—or waiting until Jonathan Kuminga becomes trade-eligible at his full contract value. Either way, the Warriors are lurking, ready to pounce if Giannis signals he’s ready for a new chapter.

As the offseason unfolds, the NBA world will be watching Milwaukee—and Giannis—closely. The next few weeks could reshape the league’s balance of power, depending on what the Bucks do next and how their superstar responds.
