On June 4, NBA salary expert Bobby Marks, & reporters, said that the Warriors can only get Antetokounmpo if they send Butler away or Greene to their dreams; former NBA players said that only Antetokounmpo can help Curry write the most perfect ending of his career.

talked about the possible deal between the Warriors and Antetokounmpo, Bobby Marks said that if the Warriors want Antetokounmpo and Curry (salary of $59.6 million next season), the Warriors must part ways with Butler ($54.1 million next season) or Dream Chasing ($25.8 million next season) to be able to match Antetokounmpo's $51.9 million next season.

Bobby Marks also said: This is the fact that you can't get Antetokounmpo at the same time, and you can still keep Curry Butler's dream-chasing trio.

Former NBA player Jay Williams said that if he was in the position of Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy, he would not hesitate to part ways with them.

Jay Williams said: Yes, Bobby, I want to say "Thank you for your service, Drummond Green and Jimmy Butler, thank you for being a part of the team, goodbye".

Williams also said: If you are the Warriors, if you are Mike Dunleavy, you need to sign big-name stars. Antetokounmpo is the perfect candidate for the Bay Area. I know that the Western Conference teams are very strong, but think about the combination of Curry and Antetokounmpo, how terrifying they will be together. If there is a way to make Curry write the perfect final chapter, it is to join forces with Antetokounmpo.

Before this year's trading deadline, the Warriors signed Butler through a multi-party trade. Curry and Butler led the team to the playoffs and eliminated the Rockets in the first round of the Black Seven, but lost to the Timberwolves 1-4 in the Western Conference semi-finals. Curry accidentally pulled the hamstrings, which was an important reason for the Warriors to be eliminated in five games.

The combination of Curry and Antetokounmpo is indeed exciting, but the Warriors' bargaining chips are difficult to impress the Bucks, and it is too difficult for them to sign Antetokounmpo; in addition, once Antetokounmpo applies to leave the team, many teams in the league will pursue him.
