Golden State Warriors' Extreme Trade Deadline Plan Revealed
The Golden State Warriors know they need to make some changes, and those changes could be more extreme than some anticipated. During an episode of FanDuel's "Run it Back" show, The Athletic's Shams Charania said the Warriors plan to enter this trade deadline with the mindset that everyone not named Steph Curry is on the table.
"The mindset in Golden State right now is everyone but Steph Curry is on the table," Charania said. "That's their mindset. Now realistically, there's an asterisk, right? Klay Thompson, would they want to keep him long-term and keep him in Golden State? I think that's been their hope. They have not been able to reach a contract extension with him, and Draymond Green just got back from a [suspension]. Those have been the three core guys in the front office."
As Charania noted, this of course does not mean the Warriors are actively looking to trade everyone outside of Curry, as they would like to hold onto certain players if possible; however, nobody outside of Curry seems untouchable right now.
"[The Warriors are] big fans of Jonathan Kuminga, big fans of Brandin Podziemski, they're big fans of Trayce Jackson-Davis," Charania added. "But [Andrew] Wiggins and everyone else on that roster has to be in play for this team. Two blowout losses in a row. They haven't even been close in those games, so they're going to be looking to make moves."
