The Golden State Warriors are facing down a decision that will impact their franchise for years to come. How they approach the 2021 NBA Draft is no joke — and the front office is wisely monitoring all of their potential options.

On one side of the argument, you have fans who want to keep the picks. Why trade away their future for an asset that might not be enough to help them win a title? Is sacrificing years of success worth it if the team can win even one more championship?

Regardless of how you feel, the Warriors are listening to offers for the seventh and 14th overall picks. According to Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer, the Dubs are ‘highly active’ in trade talks right now.

Trade talks are heating up. Here are five players the Golden State Warriors can target by packaging both of their 2021 NBA Draft picks together.

Today, we want to take a look at an updated list of five players the Warriors can lock onto now that we know the front office is engaged in moving their picks.
