Giannis Antetokounmpo is projected to be the biggest prize in 2021 free agency. As the back-t0-back, reigning NBA MVP, the Greek Freak will have no shortage of suitors when he hits free agency next summer.
Among them will include the Golden State Warriors, who (according to a report by iheartradio’s Ashley Nicole) have already prepared a monster offer to trade for him.

According to @AshNicoleMoss, the Warriors have prepared a “very intriguing package” to the Bucks in an attempt to trade for Giannis
The trade package would include Andrew Wiggins, but Giannis is reportedly “not prepared” to sign a long term deal with GSW.

With Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green, the Golden State Warriors have a core that can compete for years to come. Still, team President Bob Myers has never been one to stay complacent.
He pursued Kevin Durant back in 2016 after a 73-win season, and there’s no reason to doubt the reports of his interest in acquiring Giannis.
With an offer that likely includes Andrew Wiggins, the no. 2 overall pick, and several key rotational players, they have the motive and means to assemble the next great superteam.
Giannis’ presence would be enormous in Golden State, as his interior attack would only result in strengthening shot opportunities for the Splash Bros.
This past season, Giannis averaged 29.5 points, 13.6 rebounds, and 5.6 assists per game on 55.3% shooting.
