In the NBA this season, the Warriors' ups and downs have been in the spotlight. Despite an exhilarating five-game winning streak, they soon fell back into the slump. That kind of volatility seems to have become the norm for the Warriors this season. Head coach Steve Kerr has been looking for a solution to help his team out of this difficult situation, but his players have been fluctuating in form and have not been able to perform at their best. After suffering a three-game losing streak, the media has suggested that the Warriors should trade for a breakthrough.
Basketball Forever has come up with a high-profile deal. The package proposes that the Warriors trade Andrew Wiggins and Draymond Green in exchange for Zach LaVine, Wendell Carter and a 2028 first-round pick from the Chicago Bulls. The suggestion sent quite a stir through the basketball world, with many questioning whether it was a sign for the Warriors to rebuild their roster.
The Warriors' struggles this season are rooted in the inconsistency of the players' overall form. Wiggins and Klay Thompson have been inconsistent enough, and Green's ongoing controversy and suspension have added to the team's turmoil. Even the team's leader, Stephen Curry, has been affected by his recent performances.
Clay had a strong run of five wins in the previous game, but fell back into the slump in the next three games. Wiggins hasn't been consistent enough this season either, and his passion and energy seem to have waned. At the same time, Kuminga's complaints about scoring opportunities have sparked controversy, and while the Warriors have tried to give him more solo opportunities, his three-point shooting is lacking in the Warriors' system.
Curry has also shot less than 40 percent from the field in his last three games, and his slump in form has made it even more difficult for the Warriors to play on the court. Even veteran Chris Paul stepped up to score, but it didn't change the Warriors' loss.
As tempting as Basketball Forever's trade proposal sounds, Green's absence is a testament to his importance in the Warriors' system. He can create opportunities for Curry on the offensive end, and his and Wiggins' roles on both ends of the floor are not something LaVine can replace. Such a trade could reduce the overall strength of the Warriors, and a first-round pick would not meet the Warriors' current needs. All in all, the Warriors need more than just a trade, but stability and teamwork to get back in contention.
