The Warriors could target Bam Adebayo this offseason, with Golden State ownership also eyeing his girlfriend, A'ja Wilson, for the Valkyries and the possibility of both stars becoming faces of the two organizations.
The Golden State Warriors are expected to explore potential Giannis Antetokounmpo trade talks this upcoming offseason, but the Greek Freak may not be the only superstar on their radar.

One intriguing alternative scenario involves three-time NBA All-Star big man Bam Adebayo if he requests a trade from the Miami Heat.
According to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints, Adebayo is a player the Warriors have shown interest in over the past year, and he also maintains a strong relationship with Jimmy Butler.
Because of this, Adebayo is a name Warriors fans should keep in mind. This is especially true given owner Joe Lacob's aggressive approach to acquiring star talent.
Lacob also owns the Golden State Valkyries in the WNBA and is reportedly eager to land a franchise superstar for the expansion team.
That's where A'ja Wilson enters the picture. The four-time WNBA MVP and three-time champion is expected to be a key free-agent target for the Valkyries, per Siegel.
Wilson and Adebayo have been together for years, and the idea of them becoming the faces of Golden State's NBA and WNBA franchises is something worth monitoring.
This season, Adebayo is averaging 18.3 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game.
