Giannis Trade Pursuit Tightens as Warriors Include Draymond Green, Bucks Prefer Third-Team Route

Milwaukee’s reluctance to absorb Draymond Green’s deal has pushed talks toward complex third‑team scenarios.

Overview

  • Warriors coach Steve Kerr confirmed discussing Green’s inclusion with him, and Green publicly acknowledged he could be moved if it helps the franchise.
  • League reporting indicates Milwaukee does not want to take back Green’s contract directly, a stance that complicates Golden State’s deadline push.
  • Multiple suitors remain engaged, with Miami, Minnesota and New York exploring paths, while the Timberwolves have probed multi‑team constructions.
  • Insider Marc Stein reports the Lakers lack in‑season assets but could become a very viable threat this summer if Milwaukee delays a trade.
  • The market has shifted with confirmed moves such as James Harden to Cleveland for Darius Garland, and executives believe the Cavaliers could try to move Jarrett Allen if they attempt to enter the sweepstakes.
