If the Golden State Warriors want to have a chance at winning the chip next season they must upgrade their frontcourt. Frontcourt scoring was detrimental to the Warriors’ success last season. Draymond and Looney were only able to contribute 11.1 points per game, which is abysmal compared to the rest of the league – for example, Ayton and Crowder averaged a combined 24.5 points.

I think Pascal Siakam would be the perfect remedy for the Warriors frontcourt. The Raptors are coming off a disappointing season and will be looking to reshape the roster, so why not make a move on Siakam.

If the Golden State Warriors want another chance to win a championship next season, they must trade James Wiseman for Pascal Siakam.

To trade for Siakam, Golden State will have to give up Wiseman and one of their first-rounders, as well as Wiggins, to make the cap situation work. Although Wiggins has played well for Golden State, there is no doubt that adding a proven star in Siakam will boost their chance at winning a title.

What makes Siakam so great is that he is a proven young star. Siakam has a ring with the Raptors and was instrumental in that playoff run. He also made the All-Star team in 2020. Pairing him through a trade with Steph, Klay, and Draymond would give the Warriors a renewed ‘Big 4’ to compete for a championship.

Swapping Wiggnis and Wiseman for Siakam will hugely benefit Golden State on the defensive end of the floor.  Replacing a young center in Wiseman with an experienced defender suits the Warriors championship hopes much better. This is just one way in which the Warriors can improve this off-season.
