Okay, NBA fans: always stay ahead of yourself.
But I got it. Thinking about the best player in the NBA and defending the MVP being traded is something fun to talk about.
On Thursday night, the NBA draft lottery revealed that the Golden State Warriors have taken the # 2 pick in the 2020 draft. Considering the Dubs will have Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins back together and healthy, this is Cherry on the cake.
Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Bucks have won the second game of their series against the Orlando Magic, but what if they run out of a title? What if Giannis Antetokounmpo didn’t sign an extension in the low season and tackle free agency in 2021?
Would the Bucks defeat the Greek Freak so they wouldn’t lose him for nothing?
This is where the Warriors come in. Maybe they have the resources to trade for him?
Again, all of this is always ahead of us. But here are some tweets on the subject:
I can’t wait for Warriors fans to start convincing themselves that the No. 2 + Wiggins and the MIN choice is a legitimate package for Giannis. It should be fun!

I’m passionate about Dubs’ second pick for a reason … this future swap:
Dubs: Andrew Wiggins, Eric Paschall, 2020 second overall pick, 2021 first round pick, 2021 first round pick (via Minnesota)
Bucks: Giannis Antetokounpo pic.twitter.com/CS532HrhAe

Bucks fans, I get it. You don’t WANT to trade Giannis. And of course, not even your organization. But if you get mad early and Giannis asks for a swap, you have no choice. Is this an acceptable package from Golden State?
If not, what more would you like? pic.twitter.com/pBe2CGXcx1– ⁶ ° ???????????????????????????? (@BooneGage) 21 August 2020
Warriors fans really think of Wiggins, Paschall, n. 2 in a weak draft and cash considerations that make them get Giannis or Embiid … now guys

* IF * Giannis told the Bucks he was leaving
# 2 Absolute Choice + Wolves 2021 1st + 2023 1st + 2025 1st + Draymond Green + Andrew Wiggins + Jordan Poole + Eric Paschall
For
Giannis Antetokounmpo + George Hill + Ersan Ilyasova

Warriors trading that pick, the 2021 Minnesota pick, Paschall, Looney, Wiggins and 2 2nd rounders for Giannis

After the Bucks fail again, Giannis will want to get out. Choice 2, Wiggins, casts Ky Bowman. So give Draymond like Atlanta or New York for money and a bench boy to release. Free up the space on the cap. Boom.

Lamelo, Andrew Wiggins and a Future first round pick for Giannis. I call him.

Minnesota is expected to offer its 2020 pick (# 1) to Minnesota’s Unprotected Golden State for 2021 first now which is defined as no. 1 in general.
Golden State should therefore offer choices 1, 2, Wiggins, and the first unsecured in 2022, 2024 for Giannis.

So the plan is to pack Draymond, Lee, Wiggins and the # 2 pick for Giannis?
– Squirtis Mayfield (@MegaWuBanga) 21 August 2020
Draymond + Wiggins + Paschall + Pick2 + rondas x Giannis.

Let’s wait until the offseason to evaluate all of this, okay?
