We’ve seen the Golden State Warriors make a number of interesting trades recently. It all began when they successfully completed a sign-and-trade with Brooklyn to avoid losing Kevin Durant for nothing. This deal kicked off a number of sequential moves that have put the Warriors where they are today.

D’Angelo Russell, the star acquired in exchange for Durant, was soon flipped for Andrew Wiggins and picks. A few months later, the Dubs made another move to bring Kelly Oubre to the squad. Now, with some expendable assets and room on the roster – the Dubs are looking to trade again.

The Golden State Warriors have expressed interest in trading with the New Orleans Pelicans. Here are five deals to consider.

It has been reported that the Dubs and New Orleans Pelicans are interested in a swap. Names such as JJ Reddick and Lonzo Ball are rumored to be involved. According to Shams Charania, the Warriors aren’t the only team calling the Pelicans.

However, the Warriors stand alone as the squad who can offer the most for Ball and Reddick. They are in a great position to flip assets and complete a deal here. Let’s look at five different ways the Dubs can trade for Ball and Reddick.
