The Golden State Warriors are the title-contending team this season, and they currently have an excellent record of 42 wins and 15 losses, ranking second in the West, and they are a good team from any point of view, with few loopholes in the lineup. But having said that, every team has room for improvement, and while the Warriors didn't ultimately take any action before the trade deadline, they could still improve the roster by buying out market signings, and here's what the Golden State Warriors are most likely to sign, and the rankings are more likely to move forward.
5 Moses Brown
Moses Brown is a young center who has played for the Dallas Mavericks this season. With James Wiseman and Draymond Green injured, the Warriors have fewer and fewer interior rotation players available, and while Brown isn't a player who can be tasked with, maybe he could make up for a few minutes of interior rotation before others come back from injury. And while Brown wasn't doing particularly well with the Lone Rangers, when he played for the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2020-21, he averaged 8.6 points and 8.9 rebounds in 21.4 minutes per game, and his arrival could help the Warriors strengthen their interior size and rebounding ability, as well as some interior finishing ability, and most importantly, Brown is currently a free agent, and it will be easy to sign him.
4 Gary Harris
For a championship-winning team, you'll never be too good at shooting and defending. Harris is a typical 3D player who has averaged 11.4 points per game this season and is shooting 38.1 percent from three-point range. In terms of Harris's style of play, he can immediately integrate into the Warriors' system, and benefit from the Warriors' excellent passing and no-ball movement ability, he can also get a lot of outside shooting opportunities, and now that the Orlando Magic he plays for is rebuilding, he is very likely to be bought out.
3 Derek Favors
The Warriors' weakest link is definitely the center, and Favors, who currently plays for the Oklahoma Thunder, is definitely one of the best options. He has a wealth of playoff experience and is able to provide the warriors' much-needed interior defense and finishing ability. After switching to the Warriors, Favors may become a substitute for Kevin Looney, and it is entirely possible to play a big role in the Warriors, because the Warriors' outside pitchers have a strong pulling force, so their inside players can always get easy scoring opportunities under the basket.
2 Robin Lopez
Lopez is a very good veteran center who currently plays for the Orlando Magic, who have begun to rebuild, and he will be a great substitute who can help his teammates cover, protect the basket and score on the inside. And the Warriors desperately need a player who is willing to defend and do some dirty work on the court, and Lopez is undoubtedly one of the best options, and once he is bought out, then the Warriors absolutely need to sign him as soon as possible.
1 Goran Dragic
By all accounts, Dragic could end up being the best player in the entire buyout market, with recent reports that he is negotiating a buyout with the Spurs, one of the teams the Warriors are trying to sign him. Dragic is a good two-way defender with both shooting and organizational skills, and he's also an experienced veteran who has had a lot of playoff surprises. For the Warriors, being able to have a veteran like Dragic on the bench is definitely a happy and extravagant thing.
