The Golden State Warriors are struggling. Some of the issues are entirely too familiar. Others are the kind of on-the-fly setbacks that teams encounter every NBA season.
Either way, Golden State's fleeting hopes of adding to Stephen Curry's championship hopes have never felt so fragile. Which is why the Warriors should feel emboldened about the latest reports of Giannis Antetokounmpo's wandering eye and be ready to make an aggressive move for the two-time MVP, who just might be the perfect co-star for Curry.
While there are other ways to make an Antetokounmpo trade work, most involve waiting until Jonathan Kuminga becomes trade-eligible in mid-January.
