The Golden State Warriors appear to be out of the running for Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo, according to recent reports. NBA insider Jake Fischer stated that Antetokounmpo is not interested in moving to the Western Conference and would not want to play second fiddle to Stephen Curry. The Warriors had been linked to Antetokounmpo, especially during last February's trade deadline, but will now likely explore other options. Potential alternatives include Kawhi Leonard of the Los Angeles Clippers and LeBron James, who becomes a free agent this summer.
