14. Stephen Curry

The Warriors are never trading Curry, unless of course he demands it which seems equally as absurd. The franchise is currently wasting a year of the 35-year-old's brilliance, but the answer is to try and find him some help rather than completely tear it down.

Golden State are in the business of winning. You achieve that by getting better and there's no player that would make the Warriors better in replacement of Curry, except for maybe Nikola Jokic. The franchise superstar is still in the top handful of NBA players and there's a reason why the likes of he, Jokic, Giannis Antetekounmpo and Joel Embiid have never been traded.

13. Draymond Green

Look, there's always a chance that Green does something silly that pushes the franchise over the edge and into trading him. However, if that were to be the case, you would have thought it might have happened after he punched Jordan Poole in training camp last year. But no, they played out the season before Poole was traded and Green re-signed on a four-year, $100 million deal in free agency.

Not only did he sign a new contract a matter of months ago, but Green is still playing high-level basketball when he's not putting Rudy Gobert in a chokehold and getting suspended for five games. He's shooting the ball at a career-high rate and continues to be the leader of everything Golden State do defensively, making it very, very unlikely that he gets traded before the deadline.
