Golden State Warriors: 3 superstars that should request a trade to the Bay Area
It takes a special team with special talent to win the NBA Finals, and with the Golden State Warriors, these superstars can that dream a reality.
Although this season took a toll on the Warriors, they are expected to be one of the NBA’s best teams in 2021. With a top pick, multiple trade exceptions, and a financially stable front office, this team should look to rebuild and reload.
The Warriors season is already over. Being 15-50, they missed out on the league’s 22-team restart by a large margin. After being clearly out of playoff contention, many considered a blessing they didn’t have to travel to Orlando.
Now bracing for a hectic offseason that could be shortened due to coronavirus, the Warriors may look to add some superstar talent.
With a few weak points on their roster, any trade would likely include their 2020 first-round pick and Andrew Wiggins, who the team acquired before the 2020 trade deadline. For a superstar talent, that would be the absolute minimum.
For a few of the bigger trades, the Wolves 2021 first-round pick, a future first-round pick from Golden State, Klay Thompson or Draymond Green may also be put on the table. The only player thought of to be absolutely untouchable is Stephen Curry.
That said, let’s dive into three players that could request a trade to the Bay Area and command a strong price in return.
