Questions at the trade deadline

Exactly how long will Draymond Green be on the sideline? That is a question that will have an impact on what the Golden State Warriors do at the deadline.

In the event that Green’s injury is doomed to take longer than expected to fully recover from — the Dubs might be in urgent need of some frontcourt help. Especially considering James Wiseman’s return is yet to be slated.

This added incentive could be all it takes for the Dubs to swing for a small-scale move. Players like Maurice Harkless, Larry Nance Jr. or Grant Williams could all be worth targeting for the sake of keeping the Dubs afloat.

Nonetheless, Kevon Looney has done a phenomenal job of holding his own, as we noted in the last slide. Jonathan Kuminga, Juan Toscano-Anderson and Nemanja Bjelica should be enough to keep the Warriors competitive without Green and avoid any needless moves at the deadline.
