Golden State Warriors: 7 Trades to flip No. 2 overall NBA Draft pick
By Tony Pesta
It’s time to analyze seven potential ways the Golden State Warriors could flip the No. 2 overall pick of the 2020 NBA Draft for more assets.
Here we go again. We are back with even more potential trades for the Golden State Warriors. Today, we are focusing specifically on the upcoming NBA Draft and a few possibilities for the No. 2 overall pick.
This draft is a tough one to gauge. It doesn’t appear to be full of superstar talent – but many scouts agree that there are some quality players who will fill out the first round. Players like Devin Vassell, Isaac Okoro and R.J. Hampton could all become steals in this draft.
While the Warriors might not be able to land any stars by trading this pick – they can add some depth. There are a number of teams they can target to round out their lineup and even snag a pick in return to maintain their ongoing rebuilding process. The Warriors have made it clear they want to keep their future in mind when considering their options for the draft.
The Warriors are lucky to have a $17 million dollar trade exception that will allow them to make deals without giving up any major player. Of course, Andrew Wiggins will still be included in a few of these deals as he is their most expendable star at the moment.
