The Golden State Warriors may have something up their sleeve as the NBA Trade Deadline nears, and it could be in the form of any of these three targets.

There’s no denying the Golden State Warriors fell off a cliff for a bit.

Over the past month, after being in playoff position, they dropped to the ninth seed in the West. A four-game losing streak didn’t help their cause, but after a win over the Jazz and now a win over the Grizzlies, things may finally be starting to turn back in their favor.

The Warriors can also take matters into their own hands with the 2021 trade deadline in just four days. General manager Bob Myers implied that the team would make a trade, saying they’d be “aggressive” as the deadline approaches.

While they haven’t made any moves yet, the Warriors do have several holes, both in their frontcourt and backcourt. With Klay Thompson sidelined for the season, they’ll likely only do enough to contend, not necessarily going over the top for a superstar.

That said, let’s dive into three trade targets that the Warriors can look into that should be available and are currently on sub-.500 teams.
