1. Kelly Oubre Jr.

The Golden State Warriors won’t find a better member to add to their young core than Kelly Oubre Jr. Not only is he a realistic trade target, but he is a highly-talented player with massive amounts of potential.

Oubre made a huge leap in his game this year with the Phoenix Suns. He averaged a career-high 18.7 points on 45.2 shooting from the field and 35.2 percent from deep. His athleticism made him a walking highlight reel, throwing down monstrous dunks throughout the season.

He has great length and versatility on defense. Oubre is becoming a gritty perimeter defender and starting to thrive in transition due to his explosive leaping ability. He would be a force with the Dubs, running alongside Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. Oubre would be an interesting option to plug into a small-ball lineup for the Warriors.

Oubre is set to make $14 million dollars next season – just barley under the Dubs $17 million dollar trade exception. The Warriors would likely have to include their upcoming draft pick to acquire Oubre but he could be worth it if the 24-year-old continues to improve at the rate he has been.
