So far this season, this Warrior seems to still have a good competitive team, at least from the record point of view, the current Warriors still have the strength to compete for the championship.
But the Warriors seem to have a team that has made a move before the trade deadline this season, and the Timberwolves' inside lineman Carl Anthony Downs is the player targeted in the Warriors' trade market. Us media Lee Tran also suggested the following trading plan:
Warriors get: Carl Anthony Downs
Timberwolves get: Jordan Poole, James Wiseman, Jonathan Cumminga, Moses Moody, Kevin Looney, 2022 first-round pick (from the Warriors), 2022 second-round pick (from raptors)
After the deal, the Warriors will also be able to acquire Towns and build a big five lineup with Curry, Thompson, Green, Wiggins and Towns, which will also greatly improve the team's chances of winning the championship, not to mention that the team will also have veteran players like Otto Porter Jr. and Gary Payton II in the team.
In this deal, the Warriors also need to sacrifice young players such as Jordan Poole, Wiseman, Cumminga, Looney and Moody, in addition to two future draft picks, which should be enough chips to interest and satisfy the Timberwolves.
Towns is still a player who is also very suitable for the Warriors' tactical system, he can play the role of the Warriors' starting center, and his and Green's interior partner will also allow the Warriors to have good enough interior strength, plus the No. 3 Wiggins and the Splash Brothers in the backcourt, this is definitely a perfect Big Five starting lineup.
For Towns, being sent to the Warriors and getting a chance to contend for the championship is one of the best chances of his career so far.
