2020 first-round pick

This is the easiest and most logical deal.

This deal depends entirely on how much the Warriors value a player like Edwards. Ball, Edwards, and Wiseman may all be top targets for Golden State, a team that’s looking to rebuild its star power with the Big 3 slowly exiting their prime.

But, do the Warriors value Gordon’s fit with the team more than those high-profile players? They should, and it’s all because what Gordon brings them.

At his best, Gordon shot 45% from the field and 35% from downtown. If it’s a mini version of Kevin Durant or a more offensive-minded Andre Iguodala, either way, the Warriors are bringing in something they recently lost.

The final trade makes the most sense, but I think most fans would be fine with any of the five.
