By Tony Pesta
The surge of trade rumors has eased as the coast clears for the remainder of the regular season and NBA Playoffs. Still, the Golden State Warriors understand that another tidal wave of trade proposals will emerge if they sink in the postseason.

Today, we look at the three players at risk of being included in trades this summer if the Warriors fall short of their championship aspirations.
