Signing Giannis to the Golden State Warriors will probably cost them a lot of good players. Wiggins, and maybe even Klay or Draymond. But if the Bucks are interested they could take CP3 which means a great deal of money that will be released to their salary cap and they get someone that will be worth the price, no disrespect to CP3.
But it all sums down to what the Bucks will need. Giannis is one of the top of the league so I don't think they are just going to let him go. I am more sure that he will make him the face of their franchise.
I've seen some rumors regarding Jrue Holiday trade too but the source is not that convincing so I think it's just a rumor that will die quickly.
Yes, that's what I'm seeing as well, if Klay don't play well in the upcoming season, then I think he will be in the trading block. And if Giannis shows intention of joining, then maybe throw in Wiggins + future draft picks.
Not sure about Draymond though, he is the bedrock of the Warriors so I don't see the management letting go of him. And he just sign a good contract, so he could be out of the equation.
Klay being on the trading block would be very weird, I am not saying that it's impossible but it will certainly be very weird. Think about what they have won with him and how much he has contributed, just because he has a single bad season doesn't mean that he should be traded, not even for Giannis because that may result with everyone else playing worse.
There are more things to care about in a team than just how good a player is, like for example how good others are because he is there. Klay may not make others better, but he is liked and even loved by his teammates. If Warriors ever to trade someone away, that should have been Draymond Green long long time ago, dude is terrible for many years now, but since he is loved so much, they still pay him a lot and keep him there.
And I read some interviews of the GSW owner says that he will not let go of Klay Thompson, not just yet. And I'm not really sure there are noises on the Curry X Giannis now, it's too early to speculate at this point. The Nuggets is a proof of it.
For the owner of the Warriors though, they have built their championship runs through Curry, Thompson and Green and some other role players. So if ever one of them departed, they might have a hard time replicating their success stories though, just saying.
It's difficult to see that it will happen especially with Steph Curry getting near his retirement year. That's just probably a hype that was resurrected after the All-Star event where Steph passed the ball to Giannis in a high bounce pass.
Just to be real, it will be a bad chemistry destruction for the Warriors and I don't think their fans will like that type of move.
I am reading this article made by Matt Brooks and I like how he detailed everything about the Phoenix Suns.
Matchups: The new-look Phoenix Suns
https://www.nba.com/nuggets/news/matchups-the-new-look-phoenix-sunsIt sure is a promising roster after giving up a lot of their roleplayers and a superstar at CP3. But I still believe that chemistry is the main factor in winning a ball game. Without a connection to win the championship, they are playing like All-Stars just for the fun.
I can still remember how the Miami Heat failed upon signing Lebron James and "Which team defeated them?" A not-so-strong Dallas Mavericks with Dirk Nowitzki not in his prime and a veteran Jason Kidd and Shawn Marion.
I don't believe in a superstar roster because we have seen it fail so many times. Even the Brooklyn Nets just recently failed too.
Grow a franchise duo, take care of them, keep them, and somewhere along the road, you will get a championship.
