NBA Legend Wants to See Giannis Antetokounmpo Team Up With Steph Curry on the Warriors

All offseason, the Golden State Warriors have been searching for a way to put themselves back into title contention. After losing star guard Klay Thompson to the Dallas Mavericks in free agency, the Warriors quickly managed to add some depth to the roster.

The team landed shooting guard Buddy Hield, point guard De’Anthony Melton, and veteran forward Kyle Anderson. Each provides the Warriors with shooting to negate the loss of Thompson.
But is it enough for the Warriors to contend in the loaded Western Conference? Has the front office done enough to build a title team around star guard Stephen Curry and Draymond Green?
One NBA legend doesn’t believe that they have and wants to see Golden State make an all-in type of move by going after Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo. Former NBA star Paul Pierce appeared on an episode of Kevin Garnett’s show KG Certified and discussed the Warriors.
“The only way I see Golden State getting back to where they need to get back to is if they can find a way to get Giannis over there,” Pierce said to his former Boston Celtics teammate Kevin Garnett on an episode of KG Certified.
It’s unlikely that the Bucks would allow Antetokounmpo to just leave but if things don’t work out for them this season, a trade could be explored. Milwaukee is entering its second season with Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard as star teammates but another early playoff exit could spell the end of that experiment
