While the Warriors have surpassed the Lakers in the rankings to move into 10th place in the West and have made the playoffs, it is not a ranking to celebrate too much, as the Warriors are aiming for the championship, not a playoff spot or just a playoff tournament.
Paul's fracture has lifted the ban on Dream Green, and Green will return to the team, but the Warriors understand that they need a trade, a big deal, otherwise even if Klay Thompson is no longer obsessed with being the leading actor, it will be difficult for the Warriors to have the impact of the championship.
Who is the Warriors' trade target? Previously, a fan mentioned LaVine, to be honest, as long as the Warriors are not stupid, they will not want LaVine, a big contract of more than 40 million, and this is a multi-year contract, and if you win LaVine, all the future roads of the Warriors will basically be blocked.
In the current situation, what the Warriors need is an offensive and defensive forward, and the best template is the kind of Durant of the year, and the Raptors also bring hope to the Warriors, the Raptors want to trade the 29-year-old Siakam, and they want to correct the combination of Barnes and Barrett. With the ability to attack with the ball, the ability to play alone with his back, and can help the team on both offensive and defensive ends, Siakam is now the Warriors' best target. ON JANUARY 8, MICHAEL SAENZ ALSO EXPOSED THE WARRIORS' TRADE PLAN.
It is reported that this is a deal involving three teams, eight players and four draft picks. In this deal, the three parties to the trade are the Warriors, the Heat, and the Raptors. After the trade is completed, the Warriors will receive: Siakam and Caleb Martin (who is averaging 11 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game this season).
The Raptors can get: Lowry, Moody, Podzemski, Jovic, a 2026 first-round pick (from the Warriors), a 2026 second-round pick (from the Lakers). The Heat could get Kuminga, Paul, and 2029 and 2030 first-round picks (all from the Warriors).
The good thing for the Warriors is that they can get the Big Three, Siakam, and the Warriors can quickly solve their shortcomings, and even say that if Siakam fits well, they have a chance to challenge for the championship. And if Siakam doesn't fit well, this season is Siakam's contract year, and his contract won't burden the Warriors, and certainly won't add value.
The downside is that if the trade goes through, the Warriors will pay half of the team's future deployment, because in addition to taking out Moody, Kuminga, and Podzemski, the Warriors need to send at least 3 draft picks in this deal, which is also a huge blow to the future of the Warriors, but the thing that makes the Warriors depressed is that they don't seem to have much choice.
