Throughout the offseason, the Golden State Warriors have been looking for a way to get back into title contention. After losing star point guard Klay Thompson to the Dallas Mavericks In free agency, the Warriors were quick to add depth to the roster.
The team has landed shooting guard Buddy Hieldpoint guard De’Anthony Melton and veteran forward Kyle Anderson. Each of them provides the Warriors with shooting that helps offset the loss of Thompson.
But is it enough for the Warriors to contend for a title in a crowded Western Conference? Has management done what it takes to build a championship team around star point guard Stephen Curry and Draymond Green?
A NBA The legend doesn’t believe they did it and wants to see Golden State make an all-in type move by going after Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo. NBA star Paul Pierce appeared on an episode of Kevin Garnett’s KG Certified and discussed warriors.
“The only way Golden State is going to get back to where they need to get back is if they can figure out a way to get Giannis there,” Pierce told his former Boston Celtics teammate Kevin Garnett on an episode of KG Certified.
The Bucks are unlikely to let Antetokounmpo go, but if things don’t go as planned this season, a trade could be on the cards. 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.
Antetokounmpo’s arrival in Golden State wouldn’t instantly propel the Warriors to the top of the standings. NBA food chain. He would provide them with another star presence while helping keep the winning window of the Curry years alive.
Antetokounmpo’s physical nature, combined with Curry’s shooting ability, could make Golden State a nightmare to play against. While each is a bit older, especially Curry, it could be a deadly combination for opposing teams.

There was talk of the possibility of Curry leaves Golden State Because they’re no longer a serious title contender. But Pierce also dismissed that idea, noting that Curry is likely to be a Warriors member for life.
“He’s going down with this ship.” Pierce refuted“This is all a legacy. Everything that is happening now, for him, is just the icing on the cake.”
The likelihood of Antetokounmpo teaming up with Curry in Golden State is low, but you can never say never. NBA It could be the Wild West in different eras, and nothing is out of the question.
