Could Warriors Land Another Superstar After Major NBA News on Monday?

Yahoo19-05-2025
The Golden State Warriors still have their attention focused on the NBA Playoffs and a second-round series with the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, that should not keep their front office from keeping tabs on what's going on around the NBA.
There was a bombshell report dropped by the NBA's top insider. Shams Charania offered insight into the biggest domino that the league is waiting to potentially see drop.

Many have expected the Giannis Antetokounmpo sweepstakes to finally begin this offseason after another tragically failed playoff run for the Milwaukee Bucks. The time could finally be here according to the ESPN insider.

Antetokounmpo could extend Warriors dynasty
Charania reported earlier today that this is the closest the Greek Freak has come to seriously considering a massive change for his career.
"The two-time NBA MVP has not made any firm decisions on his Bucks future after the franchise's third consecutive postseason exit in the first round, but, for the first time in his career, Antetokounmpo is open-minded about exploring whether his best long-term fit is remaining in Milwaukee or playing elsewhere, league sources told ESPN."

The NBA insider added the following sentiment in that same report.
"Any conversations surrounding the perennial All-NBA superstar and 2021 NBA champion start primarily with where he believes his long-term future lies and whether there is a franchise outside of Milwaukee that is sensible for him."
-Shams Charania
If this is the offseason when Antetokounmpo finally gives up on his time in Milwaukee, the Warriors will have an opportunity to bolster an already strong situation.

After adding Jimmy Butler, Golden State looked like a team reborn. Throwing Antetokounmpo into the mix would not only bust open the window to win now, but greatly increase their chances of continuing the Golden Dynasty for years to come.
Superstars like the two-time MVP do not hit the trade market often. Should that be the case this summer, the Warriors front office would be wise to actively involve themselves in the pursuit.

Former Eagles quarterback sees another potential career detour

Pencil in another setback for Kenny Pickett in what was once a promising career. You might think this is crazy to hear it now, but once upon a time, there were some sparse fantasies about what it might look like to see Joe Flacco in a Philadelphia Eagles jersey. You must understand the times and some of the backstory for that to make sense. He was a product of Voorhees Township, New Jersey. He finished his NCAA career with the Delaware Blue Hens (2005-07) following a stint with the Pittsburgh Panthers (2003-04). Oh, and by the way, he had helped lead the Baltimore Ravens to a Super Bowl XLVII win. He also won MVP honors in the game. There never seemed to be any genuine interest expressed by the Eagles organization. Plus, Baltimore hung onto him for a while. Fans are fans for a reason, though. It's easy to see why some Philadelphia fans (not all of them) might have expressed interest, but the Eagles drafted Carson Wentz. They eventually won a Super Bowl (LII), and we strangely never discussed Joe Flacco as an Eagle ever again. That is, until he joined the Eagles for a brief spell in 2021. Joe Flacco beats out Kenny Pickett for the Cleveland Browns' starting QB job Flacco wasn't in Philadelphia long. He was signed on March 25, 2021. He was traded to the New York Jets on October 25 that same year. The Eagles played musical chairs with their backup QBs for a while, but in 2024, they added a local native. Kenny Pickett entered the NFL as a former Heisman Trophy finalist. He had enjoyed a successful run at the same Pitt program Flacco once played for. As a professional, he was drafted in the first round by the Pittsburgh Steelers (2022), but they gave up early. In March 2024, he was dealt after requesting a trade when Pittsburgh added veteran Russell Wilson as their starter. Flacco started one game in Philadelphia, and he won it. That was a Week 17, 41-7 affair vs. the Dallas Cowboys. He earned a Super Bowl ring for his troubles as part of the 2024 Eagles roster. He was eventually traded to the Cleveland Browns for Dorian Thompson-Robinson and draft compensation. He found himself in competition with Joe Flacco for the Browns' starting QB position. Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders were also in the mix. It has been announced that Flacco has been named Cleveland's starting quarterback. That leaves Pickett to make sense of another career detour. The story isn't over. He may be traded at some point. For now, however, his journey is at a crossroads. One must ask if he is beginning to run short on chances. Then again, what are the chances of his reunion with Kellen Moore as part of the New Orleans Saints?
