The most likely

This seems like something that both teams would do. It would also help the Warriors cap situation as Ball is on the last year and has a contract price of under $10 million. After a stellar game against the Bucks, Ball’s stock is trending upward.

He’s averaging a career-high 12.9 points per game. The fourth-year guard has proven that he can impact the game and improve his game as he’s made big steps in the right direction these past few seasons.

Now, Oubre Jr. does have a higher ceiling, but at what point do the Warriors stop believing that he’s the same player in Golden State that he was in Phoenix? The confidence has only been there in a handful of games through the Warriors’ first quarter of the season.

Given that the NBA has seen the heights that Oubre Jr. can get to, the Pelicans may add a small incentive. Asking for Josh Hart in the deal may be far too much, but the Warriors could get a second-round pick included in the deal.

This may something both sides like, and it may be a deal in which both organizations would prefer their young player. That said, let’s dive into a few more intriguing offers.
