Even if the 2019-20 NBA season resumes, the Golden State Warriors don’t have a shot of making the postseason due to the amount of injuries their stars have deal with as well as the departure of Kevin Durant.
Time away from the court has given the franchise some time to think about adding another superstar to their team.
According to Connor Letourneau of the San Francisco Chronicle, the Warriors have been preparing their pitch to reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo “for years.”
Letourneau believes Giannis would leave the Bucks if they get eliminated in the postseason early, especially with the playoffs likely changing drastically due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“The Bucks will do whatever they can to keep the face of their franchise long-term, but they recognize that the Warriors could offer probably the best package if Antetokounmpo decides he wants to leave. As last week’s Bleacher Report story suggested, Golden State can dangle Wiggins, a 2020 first-round pick expected to fall no lower than No. 5, Minnesota’s top-3-protected 2021 first-rounder and the Warriors’ 2022 first-rounder.”
The Warriors have had a terrible 2019-2020 campaign, but the front office has made some moves to set them up nicely to make some moves in the future and kepp their good times rolling further for years to come.
