The Warriors are considered to be the team that needs to push for blockbuster trades before this year's trade deadline, and the Warriors so far this season do have a good record, but they also need to push blockbuster deals to get closer to the championship trophy.
So what kind of deals do the Warriors need to push for before the trade deadline? Or what kind of deals do they push for to become a better competitive team? The advice given by us media Lee Tran is that the Warriors can promote a deal involving Carl Anthony Downs with the Timberwolves:
Warriors get: Carl Anthony Downs
Timberwolves get: Jordan Poole, James Wiseman, Jonathan Cumminga, Moses Moody, 2022 first-round picks (from the Warriors), 2022 second-round picks (from the Raptors), 2025 first-round picks (from the Warriors)
The biggest flaw in the Warriors' current roster is the center position, and trading inside players of Downs' level is undoubtedly the ideal solution to this problem. In this case, the Warriors need to send enough new star players and future assets to potentially push the deal forward, and of course the Warriors do have enough chips.
In this deal, the Warriors need to sacrifice tough players like Jordan Pooler, in addition to rising stars such as Wiseman, Cuminga and Moody, in fact, Jordan Poole and Cuminga have both performed well in the Warriors this season, which also makes the two a key part of the Timberwolves' rebuilding.
Not to mention, the Warriors will also sacrifice three future draft picks, including the first-round picks for 2022 and 2025. There is no doubt that this offer, which includes 4 rising star players and 3 future draft picks, is perfectly enough to push the deal involving Carl Anthony Downs.
And with Downs, the Warriors will be able to build a big five lineup of Curry, Thompson, Wiggins, Green and Towns, which will undoubtedly make the Warriors the best competitive team in the league.
