NBA rumours: Gary Trent Jr. and Warriors goal swaps

The Golden State Warriors need to right the ship before it’s too late, so they’ll be very active in the trade market. Here we discuss some potential candidates.

The champions en titre, Golden State Warriors, haven’t watched the part so far this season. Their depth took some big hits, and Steve Kerr a bad me to find la rotation that best suits their current needs.

Plus, chances are they just don’t have the personnel they need to win back-to-back championships. So as much as they like their outlook, they might have to part with a few of them.

With that in mind, and given their salary caps, let’s take a look at the three most likely business candidates who could help Stephen Curry and the Warriors right the ship once and for all.

NBA trade rumours: Potential targets for Warriors

3. Jacob Poeltl

The san antonio spurs have no interest in competing at this time. All they can think about is getting the No. 1 overall pick in the next NBA Draft to get Victor Wembanyamaso they will probably trade most of their veterans.

Kevon Looney has been outstanding for the Dubs, but they just can’t be trusted James Wisman. They need a backup big man who could anchor the defense and not be an offensive liability, and Jacob Poeltl fits this mould.

2. Bojan Bogdanovic

The Detroit Pistons struck gold with Bojan Bogdanovic. He plays the best basketball of his career and has been a solid veteran influence for their young players. However, it does not fit their timeline.

So even if they love him, they better get whatever they can in exchange for him. He’s a smart player, a solid passer, an effective shooter and a solid team defender, so he’s perfect for Steve Kerr’s system.

1. Gary Trent Jr.

The Toronto Raptors plan to blow up their list, and Gary Trent Jr. figures to generate a lot of interest in the trade market, which should come as no surprise at this point.

Trent Jr. is one of the most effective three-point shooters in the league, not to mention a solid backcourt defender. He’s got the 3-D skills the Dubs have been dreaming about all season, and he could be a major catalyst for them, just like Gary Payton II.
