Golden State Warriors hold back major moves as Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler await Giannis decision

A hush has fallen over the Golden State Warriors as fans and commentators watch closely this offseason. Rumors swirl around NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo, but no clear direction has surfaced.

Meanwhile, the Warriors are staying quiet, even as whispers grow louder. With superstars Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler nearing their peak years, many wonder if the Golden State Warriors will act fast or wait on what could be a game-changing opportunity.

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s decision timeline may delay Golden State Warriors’ next move

On July 6, NBA insider Ramona Shelburne appeared on NBA Today to offer a key update on Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future. Shelburne said that Giannis may take until August or even September to decide if he will request a trade from the Milwaukee Bucks.

She added, “I don’t think anything will be decided on his end until August, September”.

At the same time, the Warriors have held steady. No major signings. No big trades. Behind closed doors, they are standing guard. With Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler still in the prime of their careers, the organization is preparing, but staying patient. If Giannis does make a move, Golden State wants to be ready with all cards in their hand.

The wait is a gamble. The longer the Warriors hold off, the more likely they miss other key chances.Stephen Curry, now nearing 37, and Jimmy Butler, 35, have two or three years of peak performance left. Golden State’s front office knows this. If Giannis decides to leave the Milwaukee Bucks, Curry and Butler’s final championship run may hinge on swift action.

Still, there is a risk. If the Warriors act too late, either in free agency or minor trades, the value of their draft picks and role players could disappear.

In season after season, every pick and rotation player adds up.Meanwhile, analysts suggest the Bucks’ move to waive Damian Lillard and sign Myles Turner may sway Giannis to stay. The Bucks hope that retooling will keep Giannis in Milwaukee, at least for now. But as Shelburne noted, “that kind of decision doesn’t come until later in the summer”.Also Read:NBA trade News: Indiana Pacers pull off bold move by landing 7-foot star Jay Huff from Memphis GrizzliesThe Warriors’ offseason silence signals confidence, but also tension.
