US media mock transaction: Warriors send out 4 people including Dream Chasing, Kumingga + 3 to welcome Antetokounmpo in the first round

In the NBA basketball world full of variables and surprises, every offseason is like a war without gunpowder. All teams are planning secretly, trying to reshape the team's lineup and enhance their competitiveness through transactions. This year, a transaction plan simulated by the US media was like a bombshell, causing an uproar between fans and the media.

This plan revolves around the Golden State Warriors and the Milwaukee Bucks. The core character is Giannis Antetokounmpo, the "Greek monster" that scares countless opponents, who is the familiar Antetokounmpo. According to the deal simulated by the US media, in order to get Antetokounmpo, the Warriors will give away four players, Draymond Green, Jonathan Kumingga, Brandin Pojemski and Moses Moody, as well as two unprotected first-round picks in 2027 and 2029, and the first-round picks in the first three protected in 2031. The cause of this trading plan is closely related to the difficulties of the Warriors in the past two seasons. Despite having a historic scorer like Curry, the Warriors have failed to break through the second round of the playoffs for three consecutive years, and problems such as aging lineup and insufficient forward strength are becoming increasingly prominent. In order to seize the end of Curry's career and strive for another championship, the Warriors management may turn their attention to Antetokounmpo, the league's top superstar. Judging from the chips sent by the Warriors, although Zhu Meng Green is 35 years old, his defensive IQ, organizational ability and leadership in the locker room have always been an indispensable part of the Warriors. However, as he grows older, his athleticism and on-field influence have declined.

This season, Green averaged 8.5 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game. Although the data is still comprehensive, his efficiency is not high on the offensive end, his shooting percentage is only 43.3%, and his three-point shooting percentage is only 27.9%. However, his experience and awareness on the defensive end are of certain value to any team. Kumingga, the young forward who is highly anticipated by the Warriors, has amazing physical fitness and athletic ability. He is 2.03 meters tall and has an arm span of 2.22 meters, and has excellent explosive power and jumping power.

This season, Kumingga averaged 12.7 points, 5.2 rebounds per game, and shot a 51.6% shooting percentage. He showed a strong impact on the offensive end and was able to easily complete dunks and breakouts. But his skills are not mature enough, and sometimes make mistakes in the game, and his defensive awareness needs to be improved. For the Bucks, Kumingga’s potential is undoubtedly a big factor that attracts them.

Podjemsky showed his strength in his rookie season. He averaged 9.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, shooting 43.2% from the field and 36.5% from three-pointers. Podjemski has excellent ball-handling skills and passing vision, and is able to create opportunities for the team on the offensive end. He has a high basketball IQ and excellent decision-making ability on the court. Although he still lacks physical confrontation and experience as a rookie, he is expected to become an excellent defender in time.

Moody, as a 3D player, has performed well on the defensive end. He averaged 7.3 points and 2.9 rebounds per game, shooting 42.7% from the field and 38.1% from three-pointers. Moody's defensive awareness and foot movement are excellent, and can effectively limit the opponent's score. On the offensive end, his three-point shooting ability can also open up space for the team. For the rebuilding Bucks, an instant-to-play player like Moody can improve the team's strength to a certain extent.

In addition to these four players, the Warriors also sent two unprotected first-round picks in 2027 and 2029, and the first three protected first-round picks in 2031. These three first-round picks are undoubtedly very important assets for the Bucks' reconstruction. Through these draft picks, the Bucks can choose some young players with potential to lay the foundation for the team's future.

And for the Warriors, if this deal can be reached, they will usher in a top star in the league - Antetokounmpo. Antetokounmpo averaged 32.5 points, 11.8 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game this season, with a shooting percentage of up to 55.3%. He has a terrifying physical fitness and is almost unstoppable on the court. His impact and dominance at the basket can add new firepower points to the Warriors' offense. On the defensive end, Antetokounmpo also performed well. His defense coverage is large and he can effectively protect the basket and interfere with the opponent's shooting.

If Antetokounmpo joins the Warriors, the Warriors' potential starting lineup for the new season will be luxurious: Curry, Hilder, Butler, Antetokounmpo and Tres Jackson-Davis (TJD). Curry, the legendary star who has changed his modern basketball style, has always been the core of the Warriors with his superb three-pointer.

This season, Curry averaged 31.3 points and 5.5 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 39.7%. His presence can open up a broad offensive space for the team and attract the opponent's defensive attention. Hilde, as an excellent shooter, averaged 18.7 points per game this season and shot 40.5% from three-pointers. His three-point shooting ability can give his opponent a fatal blow from the outside, and the double guns formed by Curry will make the opponent's defense line lose sight of one thing. Butler, known for his tough style and excellent key ball skills.

This season, Butler averaged 22.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game. His fighting spirit and leadership in the game can inspire the morale of the team, and at critical moments, he can always stand up and score for the team. Antetokounmpo's joining will greatly improve the Warriors' forward strength. The forward combination of his and Butler will put tremendous pressure on the opponent both on the offensive and defensive ends. And Tres Jackson Davis (TJD), the young inside player, has shown his potential this season in limited playing time. He averaged 6.5 points, 4.8 rebounds per game, and shot 58.2% from the field. His presence can provide the team with certain rebound protection and scoring ability in the inside. Such a starting lineup not only has the league's top offensive firepower, but also has extremely strong strength on the defensive end. Curry, Hilder and Butler's outside defense abilities cannot be underestimated, and Antetokounmpo and TJD's defense in the inside will make the opponent's offense more difficult. On the offensive end, this lineup has a rich and diverse offensive methods, including three-pointers from Curry and Hilder, as well as breakthroughs and mid-range shooting from Butler and Antetokounmpo. TJD can also provide certain scoring support in the inside.

However, this transaction is not without risks. In order to get Antetokounmpo, the Warriors have almost emptied their wealth for the next seven years. Once Antetokounmpo and Curry fail to have a good chemical reaction, or the team fails to win the championship as they wish, the Warriors will fall directly into the abyss of "the championship is hopeless and the future is no bright." Moreover, Antetokounmpo's salary will also bring huge salary pressure to the Warriors, and the team may be subject to certain restrictions in subsequent signings and lineup adjustments. As of now, neither the Warriors nor the Bucks have made a formal response to the mock deal.

Previously, NBA reporter Brian Windhorst reported that if Antetokounmpo is named, he wants to join the Warriors, the Warriors will have a chance to get Antetokounmpo. But all this is just speculation and simulation. Whether this deal can be achieved in the end depends on the decisions of the management of the two teams and the wishes of the players themselves. But no matter what, the emergence of this trading plan has made fans look forward to the NBA in the new season. If Antetokounmpo can really join the Warriors, then the NBA arena in the new season will surely be more exciting and intense, let's wait and see!
