Warriors give Giannis Antetokounmpo a reason to second-guess his Heat choice

Writer Nick San Miguel argues that the Golden State Warriors may have made Giannis Antetokounmpo second-guess his move to the Miami Heat following Golden State's recent victory over Miami, marking their sixth straight win. The Heat fell to a 3-6 record to start the season, prompting speculation on whether Antetokounmpo regrets not joining Golden State when departing the Milwaukee Bucks.

San Miguel suggests the Warriors might actually be better off without Antetokounmpo, noting that acquiring him would have required parting with assets like rookie Yaxel Lendeborg, Brandin Podziemski, and either Draymond Green or Jimmy Butler. Golden State's low expectations have instead enabled early success.
