The Golden State Warriors are going to be playoff contenders, and by dealing a few players, they may be able to get even better before the postseason begins.

After a massive win against the Lakers, the Golden State Warriors proved to the world that they have what it takes to be a playoff team. With a disabled player exception still in their pocket, the Warriors may have the options available at the trade deadline to get even better.

With Stephen Curry on the roster and leading the way, the Warriors may do what it takes to improve this roster. They have the big contract that can be dealt, and they also the picks that can be coupled with those to bring in a star.

Given the inconsistent play of Kelly Oubre Jr. and Andrew Wiggins, the team may look to bring in different firepower, although the chemistry that they’re building does seem to be showcasing itself in improved play.

With the season starting late, the Warriors will have a bit more time to plan their moves and engage with other teams. Instead of a typical January or February deadline, the 2021 trade deadline is set for March 25.

While most of the Warriors will stay put, there is good reason to believe some may be off the roster in late March. That said, let’s dive into four players that may not be in the Bay Area following the deadline.
