We know the Golden State Warriors are at least considering making a blockbuster deal to breathe fresh air into this lineup. While it’s unclear how serious the front office is about shaking things up, the latest reports from Kevin O’Connor state the Dubs are interested in acquiring Victor Oladipo from the Houston Rockets.
The Golden State Warriors are reportedly interested in taking a swing at Victor Oladipo. Here are the three best packages they can realistically offer.
First, let’s address the Golden State Warriors’ current situation. I’d break the Warriors’ trade assets into three categories. First, we have the irreplaceable. This includes the obvious star players like Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, with the inclusion of their most recent NBA Draft pick, James Wiseman.
Next, we have a category specifically designed for Andrew Wiggins. Wiggins isn’t irreplaceable but he is a talented role player who otherwise would make a great trading piece if it weren’t for his massive contract.
Lastly, we have the players who are easy to include in deals but might not hold much worth. This goes for just about everybody else on the roster, with special shout-outs to Eric Paschall and Jordan Poole as two young prospects with promise. Kevon Looney deserves credit as well.
With this being said, the Warriors have a few different routes to take when pitching an offer for Oladipo. They also have plenty of draft picks to toss around. Let’s break down the three best packages the Dubs can create for Oladipo.
