The Golden State Warriors have difficult decisions to make heading into the trade deadline as their season is on the brink of collapse falling out of the Play-In chase. With that in mind, the Warriors’ front office has the mindset that everybody on the roster could be discussed in trade scenarios with the exception of Stephen Curry.
“The mindset in Golden State right now is everyone but Steph Curry is on the table,” said Shams Charania. “That’s their mindset. Realistically, there’s an asterisk. Klay Thompson, would they want to keep him long-term and keep him in Golden State? I think that’s been their hope. They have not been able to reach a contract extension with him. And Draymond Green just got [re-signed to] an extension. Those have been their three core guys.
“In the front office, they’re big fans of Jonathan Kuminga, they’re big fans of Brandon Podziemski, big fans of Trace Jackson-Davis. But [Andrew] Wiggins and everyone else on that roster, except Steph Curry, has to be in play for this team.
“They’re going to be looking to make moves.”
The Warriors also don’t want to take long-term money back in any trade.
Charania also adds that the uncertain status of Steve Kerr, who has not signed an extension, weighs on their decision making.
