Summary
- Warriors might trade Draymond Green for Giannis Antetokounmpo.
- Portland Trail Blazers expressed interest in acquiring Antetokounmpo.
- Giannis Antetokounmpo trade drama expected to extend past deadline.
NBA trade deadline rumors are heating up with ongoing speculation surrounding Giannis Antetokounmpo. If a trade were to occur before February 5th, the Golden State Warriors, potentially offering multiple first-round picks, are considered a likely destination. Reports indicate that Draymond Green, Golden State's defensive anchor, could be included in the package for the right deal, with only Steph Curry deemed off-limits.
However, other teams are also making their interest known. The Portland Trail Blazers have reached out to the Milwaukee Bucks regarding Antetokounmpo, acknowledging the difficulty in convincing him to stay long-term. League sources suggest that the Antetokounmpo trade situation may extend beyond the trade deadline and into the offseason, with the Bucks currently in a 'digest mode,' awaiting offers.
There's also speculation that some teams might emulate the Toronto Raptors' approach with Kawhi Leonard, acquiring a star player for a single season. However, unlike Toronto, Portland is not viewed as a current contender. Many expect any potential trade for Antetokounmpo to unfold closer to the offseason.
