"Golden State's dream scenario: Giannis Antetokounmpo joins in the summer" - Shams Charania of The Athletic. The Warriors flirted with the Lakers on the last day of the trade deadline regarding the possibility of a deal that would bring LeBron James to San Francisco.

Giannis only signed a huge new three-year contract in October 2023 for $186 million and his exit option will only be valid for the 2025/26 season. The Greek is known as someone who flourishes alongside big scorers who help the offense gain.
