First team emerges as potential Giannis destination

Millions of years of failing in the wilderness causes organisms to adapt to survive. One wrong step, one leaf out of reach, one single lapse of concentration, a failure to see the shadow, evade the hunter, or smell the danger is enough to be eaten and never live again.

Only the most perfect beings last the test of time, and 99% of everything that has existed no longer does so, as the majority of life has succumbed to the infinite unforgiving dimension of reality that is death.

The Golden State Warriors are not one such animal; they have lived on through the years thanks to constant adaptation, lightning-fast reflexes that allow them to mould and sculpt their form to deal with the conditions that surround them. Acquiring Giannis Antetokounmpo, one of the NBA’s most talented players, would be just another example in a long line of a ludicrously well-positioned strategy that has carried them over the line time and time again.

Ahead of the news that Giannis was open to leaving the Bucks ahead of the February 5 trade deadline, a report emerged suggesting that the Golden State Warriors would be willing to form a deal for the player that involved a number of moving pieces.

Sending both Jonathan Kuminga and Jimmy Butler to Milwaukee, along with a number of draft picks, is reportedly an option for the Bucks, in exchange for their 31-year-old star.

While we await to see any concrete movement from the circling NBA clubs that have pushed their glasses back up their noses, rumours regarding the future of the Greek national will not budge.

“Milwaukee has indicated to interested teams that the organization is not in a rush to complete a move and is willing to navigate Antetokounmpo’s future in the offseason if its believed price point of a blue-chip young talent and/or a surplus of draft picks isn’t met,” ESPN reports.
