The Golden State Warriors have just over three weeks until the 2021 NBA Trade Deadline, and they have several holes to fill before then.

After a brutal loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, the Golden State Warriors are going to have to gear up for a tough road stretch along the West Coast. It’s a trip that will include games against the Damian Lillard-led Blazers, the Paul George-led Clippers, and the Devin Booker-led Suns.

Then, they’ll come home and get the honor of hosting the West’s best team, the Utah Jazz. Combine those four games, and the Warriors are looking at a tough few weeks ahead of them. Staying in playoff contention will be no easy task.

Led by Stephen Curry, the Warriors have received surprise contributions from players like Andrew Wiggins and James Wiseman. However, for most of February, they played with Juan Toscano-Anderson at the five.

Kevon Looney, who has missed weeks due to injuries in both the last few seasons, struggles to stay on the court. Wiseman also tweaked his ankle, and even when active, he struggles to stay on the court due to frequent fouling.

With only those two as the team’s active centers, the Warriors should look into trading for another big man prior to the March 25 deadline. That said, let’s dive into three options, also keeping in mind that they have a $9.6 million disabled player exception at their disposal.
