It’s been a disastrous start for the Milwaukee Bucks in 2024. The team has a 3-8 record after 11 games, struggling both on offense and defense. The situation is extremely frustrating, considering Milwaukee is desperate to keep Giannis Antetokoumpo.
Milwaukee does not currently appear to be in the process of making a trade, but if they don’t become competitive by the NBA Trade Deadline, those odds will drastically increase.
The Golden State Warriors may be the team that sends the right offer.
“Represented By The Same Agency” Bucks Learn Of Massive Twist In Giannis Antetokounmpo Trade Suitors
It has been reported that Milwaukee has already begun contacting teams about possible trades around Antetokounmpo, but if the forward eventually requests out, the Bucks may have to entertain offers:
The Golden State Warriors have long been known to covet Antetokounmpo, and still possess all of their top trade assets they were unwilling to move this offseason in other potential deals.
In a recent video for Bleacher Report, NBA insider Jake Fischer revealed some important dynamics on the possibility of Antetokounmpo landing in Golden State.
“The other big connection here to keep an eye on, is the fact that Giannis and Steph [Curry] are both represented by the same agency – Octagon,” Fischer stated. “… We’ve seen these types of synergies make deals happen.”
Fischer went on to use the examples of Karl-Anthony Towns being a CAA client, along with several other New York Knicks players. Additionally, Fischer said Russell Westbrook and Nikola Jokic both being Excel clients likely helped the 2017 MVP land with the Denver Nuggets this summer.
