The Golden State Warriors want to make the most out of Steph Curry's career. Although he's in his 17th season in the NBA, the Warriors still expect him to lead them to a potential championship. Radio host Joe Shasky believes that the Golden State has the perfect opportunity to maximize Curry with one major trade.

Shasky thinks that the Warriors should trade for Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo. On Wednesday, reports emerged that Antetokounmpo and the Bucks have started conversations regarding the future. With the lack of success in Milwaukee, there are questions about the star player's long-term commitment.

According to Shasky, a trade for Antetokounmpo could potentially maximize Curry's career. Having an elite co-star will give the star guard another shot at title contention.

"There's no guarantees for the future. What I do know is we have an all-time player in Stephen Curry and I do whatever it takes to maximize what this is," the media member said on "The Morning Roast."

A potential trade for Antetokounmpo could require the Warriors to part with a ton of assets. Every player on the roster who isn't Steph Curry will likely be in the trade conversations. Additionally, the organization's future assets will be part of any deal.

Sacrificing the team's future for a potential shot at winning another title with Curry is risky. But a talent like Antetokounmpo doesn't come along too often in the NBA.

Nick Friedell questions if Giannis Antetokounmpo wants to stay in Golden State without Steph Curry

The timelines of Steph Curry and Giannis Antetokounmpo do not match. Curry entered the league earlier and could soon be on his way to retirement after a few seasons. Antetokounmpo, on the other hand, still has a long time in the NBA.

In a potential trade, the Warriors could give up their future. But NBA insider Nick Friedell questions whether Antetokounmpo is willing to stay in Golden State once Curry is gone.

“I’m not saying don’t go after Giannis, don’t have the conversations,” Friedell said. “But you’re gonna have to give up everything that’s not Steph to make it happen. But I think the key part in all of this, does Giannis want to be here long-term with no Steph?

“There is no way in hell I’m making that kind of deal and giving up everything that they would have to give up unless I knew for sure that Giannis wanted to be here long after Steph was gone and retired.”

Friedell said that Antetokounmpo is the only one who knows the answer to that question. Steph Curry's career could soon end, and the Warriors want someone to take over the franchise. With the drama in Milwaukee, the organization could gamble and go after the Greek Freak.
