The Warriors should offer Klay Thompson in a possible Giannis Antetokounmpo deal, per NBA insider

Golden State Warriors are looking forward to the next season when they may have the chance to sign Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo, either via free agency or trade. According to the NBC Sports NBA Insider Tom Haberstroh, the Warriors may have to sacrifice one of their players in order to get Bucks star. “Back in 2014, I was saying they should trade Klay for Kevin Love,” Haberstroh told NBC Sports. “I thought they should have made that deal. I was dead wrong about that. Giannis Antetokounmpo is way better than Kevin Love back then. If Klay Thompson is the base of a deal to get Giannis Antetokounmpo, who could be the MVP for the next five seasons in the NBA, yes, you make that deal.” “Klay Thompson is a really really great player, but he is not potentially the GOAT in the NBA,” Haberstroh said per NBC Sports. “When you look at Giannis Antetokounmpo and what he is doing at this age when he hasn’t really figured out a jump shot yet, we are talking an all-time great player. So yes, if we are talking Klay Thompson with Andrew Wiggins in a package with the No. 1 pick, or whatever the top pick would be for the Warriors this year, I think that package you’d put on the table for Giannis Antetokounmpo because he is that good, he is that transformative and you put him with Steph Curry … It has vibes of 2016 and Kevin Durant coming to the Warriors then.” source - TalkBasket
