Giannis Antetokounmpo could be turned off by joining an older team like the Golden State Warriors and facing the same criticism Kevin Durant did for playing in Stephen Curry’s shadow, per @JakeLFischer “League sources say that Golden State is aware of recent rumblings that Antetokounmpo can't be assumed to be as eager as he was once perceived to be to relocate to Stephen Curry's town and team. How credible are such rumblings? Presumably only Giannis knows for sure. Yet I have heard from sources briefed on the situation that some in the know suspect Antetokounmpo could be turned off by the idea of joining an older team and/or facing the sort of criticism that Kevin Durant continues to absorb to this day about teaming up with Curry.” (Via substack.com/redirect/2/eyJ…)



The Warriors’ big plan at the deadline could be to acquire Andrew Wiggins, then flip Jimmy Butler for Anthony Davis or Giannis Antetokounmpo, per @BrettSiegelNBA “When discussing this Wiggins-Kuminga swap scenario with rival front offices, many tend to believe that such a move could be a precursor for the Warriors to make an even greater move before the Feb. 5 deadline. Although Dunleavy and the Warriors have pushed back at the notion of trading Butler following his injury, league personnel believe trading for Wiggins could be a part of a larger scheme for Golden State to move Butler for either Anthony Davis or Giannis Antetokounmpo.” (Via clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-storie…)

@FB_FilmAnalysis Trent Williams holding the absolute piss out of Nolan Smith to allow Purdy to move up in the pocket was a great wrinkle in the play call.
