Warriors appear to be in driver's seat to trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo

The Golden State Warriors continue to struggle to stay afloat. Steph Curry is still at the peak of his powers, but he can only do so much on his own.

Considering that, GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. may finally make the biggest move of his tenure.

According to Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area, the Warriors are willing to go the extra mile to get Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, with everybody not named Steph Curry on the table.

Warriors are willing to meet Bucks' asking price

Per Poole, the team that potentially acquires Antetokounmpo will have to have to give up "a whole lot."

“According to several sources contacted this week, the Warriors are willing to meet that criteria. They’re ready give up a whole lot. The general assumption is that Curry is, of course, the only untouchable,” Poole wrote. 

The Warriors have been reluctant to give up picks from the post-Curry era, and they also said they "don't envision" trading the injured Jimmy Butler. Now, it seems like that stance has changed.

Earlier in the week, ESPN insider Brian Windhorst also reported that the Warriors could outbid every team keeping tabs on Antetokounmpo with their trade package.

“The Golden State Warriors are a team that immediately rises to the top of the list,” Windhorst said. “As far as the teams that can make a straight up trade with the Bucks … the Warriors hold all their future draft assets, they can trade all of them.”

The clock is ticking, and the Feb. 5 trade deadline looms large. Antetokounmpo will be out for the next weeks with a calf injury, but that won't stop multiple teams from engaging in a bidding war for his services.
