With the NBA season over, many NBA teams now set their sights on this historic draft and possible free agents. This is a crucial offseason for many teams who want to make a bigger impact next season.
First and foremost, this is a big draft with many high reward picks. The Minnesota Timberwolves, who have had a terrible history of drafting badly, are at a crossroads. Do they gamble on finally making an amazing draft pick or trade it away for a star player? There are rumors they might trade with the Indiana Pacers for Victor Oladipo or with the Atlanta Hawks for John Collins. They could also simply use their pick. They are largely expected to take Lámelo Ball. Lámelo Ball shows a lot of upsides and would be an amazing piece for the Timberwolves.
Another team that is in need of a major piece is the Golden State Warriors. They are projected to pick James Wiseman with the second overall pick. Wiseman would be a crucial addition for them. They, for a while now, have been lacking for a star Center. Wiseman would fit that position perfectly.
There are also questions about Giannis Antetokounmpo. Giannis is slated to choose whether to sign for an extension to his contract this coming season. This is a big indicator for his 2021 Free Agency next offseason. Giannis has been rumored to be entertaining various teams for future destinations.
There are three teams that have been rumored to acquire the Greek Freak if he decides to leave the Milwaukee Bucks. Those three teams are the Toronto Raptors, the Golden State Warriors, and of course, the Miami Heat. Giannis would be a big addition to all of these teams and will immediately make them title contenders if he signs with any of them.
The most likely destination according to many analysts has been the Miami Heat. The Heat already Abe a roster that is more than capable of reaching the Finals and by most estimates, they will be able to go back again. This would be the perfect landing spot for Giannis. Giannis is in desperate need to solidify his legacy with a championship. Miami would be his best chance at getting a title.
Regardless of how this offseason goes, it will be sure to rock the entire NBA. Only time will tell what amazing moves we will see!
