The Golden State Warriors are listening to offers for Glenn Robinson III and Alec Burks. Here are five reasonable options for the former.
This season hasn’t gone as the Golden State Warriors had planned.
The change for Golden State occurred during the fourth game of the season and then continued to grow worse over time. It was initially the injury to Stephen Curry, and then it was compounded by the absence of D’Angelo Russell for a few weeks.
Curry has been out ever since that fourth game and Russell recently sustained another injury. With Klay Thompson still on the sideline from his torn ACL sustained in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, the Warriors have been without the star power they’re used to.
With those injuries, the Warriors have been awful, but they’ve opened an opportunity for others to step up. Primarily the veterans they signed that agreed to join the team for just one season have led the way.
One of those veterans making the most of that opportunity is Glenn Robinson III.
Robinson III is averaging 12.2 points per game, the most of his career. While most of his numbers will be career highs given his minutes, Robinson III is doing everything highly efficiently, shooting 46% from the field and 40% from three.
The Warriors should be listening to the trade market this season but not as buyers. They’ll be selling, and Robinson III is one piece on the table. That said, let’s dive into five potential trades for Robinson III.
