The Warriors add more talent to their roster

I feel like this is a trade that the Warriors must do. It is perfect for them in so many ways.

To start, Kevin Huerter is a perfect fit for this team. He is going into his third year and has already shown a ton of promise as a shooter. Coming off of the beach, he would help get this Warriors team back to their dynasty form with his shooting.

Also, the Warriors are getting more than just a great sharpshooter. They are swapping picks with the Hawks who are at number six in  the draft order. Gaining a great young player, while only moving back four spots in the draft, would be a steal.

With the sixth pick in the draft, I think the Warriors could still have some great options to chose from.

Patrick Williams, a great 6-foot-8 wing from Florida State who can do it all, will possibly be available. Or maybe a great versatile big man like Onyeka Okongwu or Precious Achiuwa who can run the floor and play switch defense would be there as well.

There are many different things that the Warriors can do, and I believe this trade is just the start of getting back to the Finals.
