Trade season has officially begun in the NBA. There haven't exactly been any trades outside of the Trae Young blockbuster from a few weeks ago, but the NBA thrives off of rumors and hypotheticals. On Wednesday, perhaps the biggest trade request possible was officially made known: Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Rumors have been swirling for years about the Greek Freak and his potential appearance on the trade market, but they've always been thoroughly shut down by both Antetokounmpo and the Bucks — until now.

The two-time MVP is now available to be traded for, and although he's surely to garner tons of attention and require a boatload of valuable assets, the skillset and pure dominance he can bring to any one team is sure to have rival GMs jumping at the opportunity.

Is Mike Dunleavy Jr. going to be one of those GMs for the Golden State Warriors?

The Warriors are currently a bit shorthanded on truly valuable trade assets. The most valuable pieces they own are likely their future first-round picks — they own all of their first-round picks from now until 2032 outside of 2030, and the later years project to be especially valuable once Steph Curry retires.

However, trading them for Antetokounmpo definitely waters down the value, considering his talent and relative youth compared to the Warriors' stars.

Beyond the picks, players like Jonathan Kuminga, Brandin Podziemski, or Moses Moody are all young and potentially valuable, but haven't necessarily shown that flash of stardom that the Bucks may be looking for.

However, Dunleavy and the rest of the Warriors front office seem prepared to jump at the opportunity for Antetokounmpo. It was reported that a trade package headlined by Kuminga and Jimmy Butler, alongside a "cache of draft picks," could be available now that the Bucks are willing to deal Antetokounmpo.

Dunleavy did say that Butler isn't particularly available for trade, even with the season-ending ACL tear that he suffered last week, but things can change quickly when a top-three player in the world becomes available.

Dunleavy also said he wouldn't be interested in a trade that cripples the franchise in the long-term — that's been the main thing holding them back from sending some of the picks for a player like Michael Porter Jr. or Trey Murphy III — but Antetokounmpo is in a completely different realm from those two and alters a team's future.

In 30 games and in under 30 minutes per game this year, Antetokounmpo is averaging 28 points, 10 rebounds, and nearly 6 assists per game while shooting a career-best 64.5% from the field. He's also sinking 39.5% of his threes, and though it's on low volume — only 1.3 attempts per game — it's miles ahead of his career average of 28.4%.

Antetokounmpo is a generational player, to put it simply. If the Warriors have a chance to trade for him and pair him with Curry for one last shot at a championship, it probably shouldn't be something they overthink.
