5 trades that’ll solve the Golden State Warriors problems
The Golden State Warriors have lost four straight, and while their not worried about the future, many are concerned about their dominance.
The only thing holding hope still for this team is the fact that they’ve been playing with Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. The Golden State Warriors are not at full strength, but even at full strength, they have weaknesses.
With a less-than-desireable second unit backing up their starters, they could trade for one of the several NBA vets seeking a fresh start. To give some idea of how bad their bench is, they rank No. 28 in points per game and a pitiful No. 29 in threes per game.
The second unit just doesn’t have a dynamic presence. Shaun Livingston, Andre Iguodala, Jordan Bell and Kevon Looney all cannot step out and shoot. Their only consistent bench player that can shoot is Quinn Cook.
It’s time to enhance their bench and be able to maintain the lead their starters typically create. They have several players that just haven’t played up to their expectations, and per usual championship-caliber teams, it’s all about maintaining those significant contributors.
That said, here are five players and trades the Warriors could easily pull off to bolster their second unit.
