The Golden State Warriors had a chaotic trade deadline, completing three trades and bringing in a total of five second-round picks.
Three trades. Six players off the team. Six inbound draft picks. The Golden State Warriors were active prior to the league’s February 6 trade deadline.
The most notable move sent D’Angelo Russell, Omari Spellman and Jacob Evans III to Minnesota, returning Andrew Wiggins, a top-three protected 2021 first-round pick and a 2021 second-round pick to add to their stockpile of picks.
The Warriors also secured three more second-round picks when they dealt Glenn Robinson III and Alec Burks to Philadelphia. On top of that, they brought in one more trading Willie Cauley-Stein to Dallas.
The most active team during the deadline, the 12-43 Warriors have their eyes on next season already. They may have looked towards a playoff push had Stephen Curry not broken his hand during the team’s fourth game of the season.
But, this deadline, they set the focus on the future. That said, it’s officially been two weeks since the day of the NBA’s hectic trade deadline. Looking back, let’s take a glimpse at three players the Golden State Warriors should have traded for.
