The NBA trade deadline roughly marks the halfway point of the 2021-22 NBA season. A season in which the Golden State Warriors have re-established themselves as title contenders but still feel at least one good step away from being the favorites.
There are a few paths to becoming the best team in the NBA for Golden State. It could happen naturally, with Klay Thompson finding his groove and the rest of the squad following suit. Or, they could accelerate the process at the trade deadline.
The 2022 NBA trade deadline is fast approaching. Here are three options the Golden State Warriors must choose from.
