3 Players Golden State Warriors would trade NBA Draft pick for
By Tony Pesta
1. Bradley Beal
The debate continues on whether or not Bradley Beal would be a positive addition to the Golden State Warriors. But, I’m here to say that Beal would undoubtedly make the Dubs a better team.
Sure, they would be vulnerable defensively with a small lineup of Beal, Curry and Thompson. However, we have seen how the Rockets have managed to win games despite their lack of size. In the modern NBA, an undersized backcourt isn’t a death sentence.
The Warriors would be difficult to gameplan for with a trio like this running the show. They have multiple weapons that can score 30 on any given night. Much like their days with Kevin Durant, opposing teams will have to pick their poison when playing the Warriors.
Of course, Beal is nowhere near the player Durant was. But, it goes without saying he is more than capable of being a third scoring option for the Warriors. In fact, he could even be a more potent scorer than Thompson if the Dubs choose to give him enough usage.
Beal likely won’t be available until the trade deadline. Nonetheless, another tumultuous season in Washington could be all it takes for the two-time All-Star to be shipped to a new city. The Warriors need to watch this situation closely.
