The Golden State Warriors\u2019\u00a0<\/a>trade offer for Milwaukee Bucks<\/a> superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo could include Draymond Green instead of Jimmy Butler.<\/p>\n

Nick Friedell of The Athletic<\/a> is reporting that the Warriors “have made it clear to Butler that they are going to stick by him as he begins a year-long rehab.” Butler is recovering from a torn right ACL.<\/p>\n

Warriors would need to part ways with Draymond Green in a potential Giannis Antetokounmpo deal<\/p>\n

If Golden State plans to keep Butler, the franchise will have to part ways with Green to acquire Antetokounmpo, according to Marc Stein and Jake Fischer of The Stein Line<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“So what does that mean for lifelong Warrior Draymond Green? It has long been assumed that a credible Golden State offer would have to include Green or Butler for salary-matching purposes,” Stein and Fischer wrote.<\/p>\n

Green has spent his entire career with the Warriors. He has helped the franchise win four NBA championships. Antetokounmpo and Warriors legend Stephen Curry are with the same agency: Octagon. Antetokounmpo is ready to play for a new team, and the Bucks are listening to trade offers for the future Hall of Famer.<\/p>\n

The Miami Heat, Minnesota Timberwolves, New York Knicks and Warriors are among the serious trade suitors for Antetokounmpo, according to Shams Charania of ESPN<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One of the greatest players in NBA history, Antetokounmpo is making $54.1 million this season. He has a player option worth $62.8 million for the 2027-28 season. The swingman doesn\u2019t have a no-trade clause in his contract, so he can\u2019t control where the Bucks trade him.<\/p>\n

Milwaukee has lost in the first round of the playoffs three years in a row. Antetokounmpo is tired of losing and is ready to start the next chapter of his career.<\/p>\n

Multiple teams are pursuing Antetokounmpo even though the forward is expected to miss the next four to six weeks with a right calf injury. Antetokounmpo has appeared in 30 games this season. He\u2019s averaging 28.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game.<\/p>\n

Antetokounmpo is a two-time MVP, one-time Finals MVP, one-time Defensive Player of the Year and 10-time All-Star. He holds career averages of 24.0 points, 9.9 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.2 blocks per game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Golden State Warriors\u2019\u00a0trade offer for Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo could include Draymond Green instead of Jimmy…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":575848,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3775],"tags":[7,103,102,121,3871,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-575847","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-milwaukee-bucks","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-bucks","10":"tag-milwaukee","11":"tag-milwaukee-bucks","12":"tag-milwaukeebucks","13":"tag-nba"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/115997477754524899","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/575847","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=575847"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/575847\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/575848"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=575847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=575847"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=575847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
