With two picks in the top 14 in the next draft, the Warriors have the opportunity to pick two good young players. But is it really useful for a team that is aiming for the title? More is known about the franchise’s strategy, and Steph Curry is naturally involved.
Disappointed with their season, the Warriors will have a rough offseason. The franchise wants to hit the market with a star, even if it won’t be Damian Lillard. The front office has ruled on him, and the latest feedback is not really good. The Dubs will therefore have to find another target, and it starts with the draft, this July 29.
With the 7th and 14th picks, Golden State can strike a blow. The leaders can take two young players, or combine the two picks to grab a few places. For the time being, it is the first option that is chosen, as Bob Myers has just revealed.
Bob Myers: « Today, right now, yeah, we’re drafting 7 and 14. Don’t get mad if we don’t in three days. That means something changed. » Mentioned some offers, as @TimKawakami asked, are dependent on whether a certain prospect is still on the board.

Today, for the moment, we choose in 7th and 14th place. Don’t be angry if we do something else in three days. This means that there will have been a change.
The closer the draft, the more the offers will multiply. It is therefore not impossible that the front office decides to accept a change: whether it is to take a young person, or to obtain immediate help with a view to next year. Steph Curry him, follows it very closely, after his pressure. Myers confirms he’s in touch with his star.

-Skeptical a rookie can step right into large role. Had a conversation with Curry about that recently.
-« We want whoever we take to be supplemental and playable. »
-« I don’t know that our window is just one year. » pic.twitter.com/vJsRFfbDw7— Anthony Slater (@anthonyVslater) July 26, 2021
– Skeptical that a rookie can take on a big role. He had a conversation with Curry on the subject recently.
– We want to take someone capable of replacing the others and who can play (immediately).
– I had no idea that our window was only one year (for the title).
For a team aiming for the title, the Warriors need a player who can bring it to the court immediately, and not necessarily in a few years. This makes the trade likely, provided you have the right offer. We will be fixed in a few days.
