It’s a frame work. Obviously lots of salaries would need to be included. I imagine Dunleavy would also go after one of the Raps stretch 5s- Olynk or Boucher

[bay2hk]

What about this trade:

- Warriors receives Jimmy, Boucher, and Larrson
- Heat receives Brown, Anderson, Hield, and Schroder
- Raptors receives Wiggins and GP2

Warriors and raptors throw in future SRPs to Heat to get it done, and Warriors sign post to a roster spot.

Dunk Central citing Matt Moore. Yuck.

Heat pass. Hield (somewhat) and Anderson conflict with their 2026 plans. Get them the expirings, Raps get Wiggins and SloMo and draft capital for facilitating

[TB]

If Heat get no real offers and are good to essentially wipe that salary off without risking Jimmy opting in....

Heat get:
Brown
Dennis
GP2
Looney
1 protected 1st from Raptors

Raptors get:
Wiggins

Warriors get:
Jimmy
Love
Richardson

I think Hield’s 3rd year is partially guaranteed and we can replace Anderson with looney so it wouldn’t impact their 2026 FA plan.

I should add that I don't love the idea of losing Wiggins (in a perfect world he's swapped with Kyle/buddy/lindy), but the trade idea above is my guess of what the Warriors would be wanting to do so that they have salary to keep Kuminga as well as handle a Jimmy opt-in. And the Heat are probably trying to get a couple of the Warriors 1st rounders or swap 1 expiring out for Kuminga or Podz etc.

But Warriors should just hold out for something beneficial to them that doesn't use draft picks. Let Jimmy tear down the heat situation as much as possible before lowballing on deadline day.

EDIT - or something like Bay2hk version which had same idea. I just went with a version where nobody wanted the slightly longer deals of Buddy/Kyle.

I’d rather have DeAaron Fox.

Amen Brother. Me too.

Here are a couple of realist trades to get Warriors to chip level.
1 - Kuminga and Anderson to Indianna for Myles Turner - This assumes that Indianna is ready to move off of Turner. Kuminga is a younger player with higher upside on a younger team. Turner is a desperately needed piece and fits the Curry timeline.

2 - Warriors send Schoder, Hield, Looney (not needed if we land Turner), GP2 and 2025 first round pick to Chicago for Zach Lavine. Chicago finally gets out of his contract and get a first-round pick. Warriors get another vet hyper scorer and starting shooting guard to pair with Steph.

Curry, Lavine, Wiggins, Draymond, Turner. This is both a great scoring AND defensive team. All vets, Lavine, Wiggins, Turner are all athletes. IF CURRY IS STILL a #1 option, this lineup gives him this and next year a real shot at a title.

Every once-in-a-while I will be having an ok day and then I remember that Draymond is under contract for another 2 years after this one.

So the 5th place Pacers are just going to throw in the towel and not have a center other than Bryant on the roster?

[watch1958]

Looks like a loser trade to me.

I might actually like LAVINE over butler for this team. We have such a gaping hole at 2. LAVINE was fine as a poa for team USA when he played and has to be better than jp or Klay. I don’t know how we get there without dray though.

[wco81]

That would be weird, if Warriors acquired Lavine and still had Wiggins on the team. Reconstitute the old Wolves team which never did anything.

But with Curry instead of KAT

LAVINE is a 1 dimensional player that dont bring much to the table other than scoring, and he will be worse in the PS. comparing Lavine to Cam Johnson, Johnson wins every time (size, defense and shooting). If the cost is just 1 FPR (or JK) its not a bad deal.

Curry Podz Wiggins Johnson Green
GP2/Hield Moody Santos Looney

I agree Cam J should be easier to get than Lavine just based on salaries but it depends on if BKN is willing to settle for one first instead of the reported 2. Lavine probably doesn't cost any 1st?

Lavine can duplicate what JP brought defensively while bringing in more consistent scoring than what Buddy is bringing. I'm just saying I'd rather go for Lavine than Butler although both probably cost too much salary wise.

problem with Lavine is you have to lose one of the Wigs and Dray.. so we are not getting better by much if better at all.
