World news – US – Kurtenbach: Time for the warriors to give up on their dream of Giannis Antetokounmpo

The Deets is a morning dose of comment from sports columnist Dieter Kurtenbach that wraps up everything important in the sports world and looks to the future for another crazy day ahead..

It was fun while it was going on, but the warriors have to let go of the dream.

The Bucks agreed to two big deals Monday night, getting the Jrue Holiday from the Pelicans and Bogdan Bogdanovic from Kings. Both moves sent a clear signal to Giannis: We’re in it to win.

We’ll see if they convince him to sign a supermax extension before the season, but it sure looks more likely..

Regardless, the deals also sent a clear message to the rest of the NBA: No pax trades on their star.

And if he leaves, he will walk out via a free agency, which means that the Warriors – who will be tied with a hood until the end of the Stephen Curry era – are no longer a realistic landing place.

Even if the Warriors attempted to trade for Giannis (pending passage of a supermax contract), they were unlikely to have enough assets to entice Milwaukee.

The Bucks just exchanged three picks from the first round and two first-round swaps on Holiday. Now, the combo keeper is a nice player and a marginal star, but that’s an unbelievable price tag.

It’s also worth noting that the Blazers sent two first-round selections to Houston on Monday for Robert Covington, who is a nice player again, but I think he’s never involved in talking about making the All-Star play..

I understand the Bucks and Blazers are desperate, but if that’s the rate for these players, double it – at least – for Giannis.

There is also a general misconception about how much draft capital warriors have made ahead.

Golden State has its first round selections for the next three years and Minnesota pick for the first round next season, but not all of these choices are movable due to Stepien’s annoying rule, which prevents teams from not having a first round. Choose two consecutive drafts..

The Warriors also exchanged their selection in the first round of 2024 with Memphis Grizzlies as part of the Andre Egodala payroll last summer.. This prevents Dubs from trading away from their selection in the first round of 2023 and from trading in their first round selection until two years after the transfer of that choice.. It has a three-year window.

Even if there’s a massive change in heart for Giannis and Bucks mid-season, the Golden State doesn’t seem to be in a position to deliver enough to have a player of a generation.

What could they do other than move to more realistic options?
