Warriors' Complete 2024 Offseason Blueprint | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors
Emily Baldwin This regime has never lacked ambition, and its trade hopes for this summer are the latest example of that. A(nother) run at LeBron James is one of several shoot-for-the-sky scenarios it's reportedly mulling.
"The Warriors' lead decision-makers still believe Curry's longevity gives them a couple more seasons of possible contention if the roster around him is up to it," The Athletic's Sam Amick, Anthony Slater and Jovan Buha reported. "If there's a path to LeBron, Giannis Antetokounmpo (their dream scenario), impending free agent Paul George or a reunion with Kevin Durant, they will explore it."
Before Warriors fans rush out to order any customized jerseys of those mega-stars, though, it's worth noting there's a real chance none will be available. And even if they are, it's worth wondering what Golden State has to give up to get them. Come draft night, the Warriors will have three future firsts to trade (two outright and the better side of its top-20 protected pick in 2030), but other win-now teams have deeper draft-pick collections.
Andrew Wiggins' name has bounced around the rumor mill, but after a disappointing season, he may not be regarded as a positive asset. The Warriors might need some young sweeteners, then, perhaps even including breakout swingman Jonathan Kuminga, particularly if they're able to land one of those top-tier targets.
