Golden State Warriors target Giannis Antetokounmpo while weighing $149 million Clippers star

NBA trade rumors link the Golden State Warriors with a potential acquisition of two‑time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. A hypothetical deal would see the Warriors send Jimmy Butler and multiple first‑round picks to the Milwaukee Bucks, with Draymond Green likely moving to the bench. Analysts project a starting lineup of Steph Curry at point guard, Brandin Podziemski at shooting guard, Moses Moody at small forward, Giannis at power forward and Kristaps Porzingis at center if the trade occurs.

Separately, the Warriors are also mentioned as one of the top landing spots for a seven‑time NBA All‑Star from the Los Angeles Clippers, who carries a $149 million contract. The New York Knicks and Miami Heat are also cited as likely destinations for the high‑value player. No official offers have been confirmed, and the discussions remain speculative.
