On December 15, Beijing time, after Dream Chasing was banned indefinitely, the American media "BleacherReport" suggested that the Warriors should send Dream Chase away as soon as possible, and listed 5 realistic plans, including 1 for 2 Lakers Hachimura and 1 for 4 to welcome back the veteran Barnes.
Trading option one
The Warriors get: Gwee + Holmes + 2025 Raptors second-round pick;
The King Gets: Dream Chasing.
Statistically speaking, Dream has been doing well this season, not only averaging 5.8 assists per game, but also hitting 1.7 three-pointers on 42.9% three-point shooting.
Considering that the Mavericks have two top scorers in Irving and Doncic, the addition of Dream will further unleash the offensive ability of the two and become an upgraded version of Gwee.
Especially considering Gervais's poor performance after joining the Mavericks this season, the Mavericks have every reason to take over Dream and replace him.
Trading option two
Warriors get: Hield + Jalen Smith;
Walkers get: Dream Chasing.
Similar to the previous trade, the Warriors got an interior blue-collar player, with Jalen Smith having a similar role to Holmes who could share the pressure on Looney and Hield being a top three-point shooter who could share the pressure on Curry and Klay to some extent.
The Pacers, on the other hand, got Dream Chase as a better defensive interior core and officially transformed from a dark horse to a championship-level team.
Given the Pacers' wide range of offense, Dream Chase with top-notch playmaking and ball-handling skills would be a good bet on and could also provide another inside option for the team if Turner gets into foul trouble.
Trading plan three
Warriors get: Allen + Sam Merrill;
Cavaliers get: Dream Green + 2027 first-round pick (top-five protected).
The Cavaliers completed the deal for two reasons, the first is to return Mobley to a familiar position, compared to Allen, who is on the inside pile, Dream is expected to release Mobley by directing traffic on the line.
The second point is that the Cavaliers can add another ball holding spot, which can share the pressure on Garland and Mitchell, who are easily limited by long-term ball holding on the offensive end due to their size, and after playing a certain amount of off-ball, they will hopefully increase the offensive threat.
For the Warriors, the goal of this deal is very straightforward, to bring in Allen, a traditional No. 5 position, to solve the team's biggest shortcoming of lack of interior depth.
Trading option four
The Warriors get: Hachimura + Hayes;
The Lakers get: Dream Chasing.
When Dream Chasing did not renew his contract in the offseason, there were rumors between him and the Lakers, considering that he had a common agent with James and Brother Thick Eyebrows, which made the American media support the Lakers to try to bet on Dream Chasing.
Especially referring to the way the Lakers won the midseason tournament, the Lakers introduced Dream Chaser to further improve the defense, and the team will further consolidate the interior defense, and the combination of him and the thick eyebrows will be a nightmare for all attackers.
In addition, Dream Chaser has the ability to handle the ball, and when he appears with James and Reaves, it will increase the opponent's defensive pressure, and it is expected to share the rotation pressure of the thick eyebrows.
Trading option five
The Warriors get: Barnes + McGee + 2024 second-round pick + 2025 second-round pick (Trail Blazers);
The King Gets: Dream Chasing.
If there is a team that is likely to take over Dream Chasing, then the Kings will definitely be in first place, because the current system of the Kings is almost a replica of the Warriors, and Dream Chaser will be seamlessly integrated into the system.
For the Warriors, Barnes is a veteran of the team, and considering Wiggins' declining form, Barnes' return is expected to quickly solve the problem of the decline in offense and defense at the front.
McGee is also a veteran of the Warriors, he has played well with the Warriors, and I believe that McGee will prove himself again when he returns. Increase the depth of the Warriors' interior rotation.
