10 Way-too-early 2024 trade deadline candidates Warriors should monitor
By Tyler Watts
8. Reggie Bullock
The Spurs acquired Bullock this summer after being the third team in the Grant Williams sign-and-trade. The 6’6 wing helped the Mavericks reach the conference finals in 2022 and is a valuable 3-and-D wing. San Antonio does not plan on contending in year one with Victor Wembanyama, which likely puts the veteran back on the trade block before the deadline.
The Warriors have four-fifths of their vaunted small ball lineup locked in, but they are searching for the final member. Draymond Green will play the five flanked by Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Andrew Wiggins.
Can Chris Paul seize that final spot? The Dubs would like a bit more size, which will give Moses Moody and Jonathan Kuminga chances to step up. If none of those work, they could search for a wing on the trade market.
Reggie Bullock would fit right in. He is not going to command the ball. The 6’6 wing will spot up in the corner or fly around screens and nail open jumpers. He is a career 38.4 percent 3-point shooter and the looks will be wide open in Golden State. Bullock can also defend on the ball and guard multiple positions. He may not be the best wing available, but it would be an immediate upgrade for the Golden State Warriors.
