Warriors May Make A Play For Antetokounmpo In 2021

Zoe Taylor · Feb 20, 2019

According to multiple sources, the Warriors have "internally mused" about acquiring Giannis Antetokounmpo when his contract is up in 2021 - that is, if they can't get Durant to come back when he hits free agency in the summer.

According to one source, he writes that Antetokounmpo is a big fan of the city of Milwaukee, but also notes Giannis and Curry are close friends represented by the same agency.

He says:

Yet it’s likewise undeniably true that Steph and Giannis are buddies who are both represented by the same agency (Octagon) and share a mutual admiration that has resulted in Curry and Antetokounmpo selecting each other first overall with the No. 1 overall picks as captains in the first two All-Star drafts.

I can promise you, furthermore, that the Warriors have internally mused about a run at Giannis—however futile it may prove to be—in the event they can’t convince Kevin Durant to re-sign this summer. Trying to sign the most attractive free agent available is on the first page of the Golden State owner Joe Lacob’s playbook.

Keep it on lock for more as we get it.
