Trade question: Who would you want to keep most among GP2/Loon/Hield/SloMo?

Geranted, None of the four are dealbreakers, but assuming the likelihood that the Warriors are going to go shopping in the 20+ mil trade bin (Cam Johnson, Vucevic, Kuzma etc.), you need 3 of those four to match salaries (I assume keeping Schroder is also a goal).

Who of the four would you try hardest to keep if you were Dunleavy?

Given the current roster makeup, I'm keeping Loon.

Loon, not sure how he goes from leading the league in rebounds per 36 one night to dnp-cd the next but we'll need loon come playoff time.

Unless we're trading for miles turner. In that scenario I'd keep hield or gp2

Come playoff time, Loon is the player most likely to emerge into a bigger-than-expected role. Even in the event of a Vucevic trade, it's still likely that Loon would be the most match-up proof big the Warriors have.

As long as GP2 is healthy, he's a destructive force on defense. His absence would be missed.

Schroder, GP2, Buddy Hield, Kyle Anderson, first round pick for Zach Lavine.
So, essentially trade them all to get a singularly more impactful player who can shoulder some clutch closing minutes with Curry.

If I have to pick only one, Loon for sure.

Gotta have higher goals. If we’re going after a star with a big contract we should try for Booker or KD.

is this team currently constructed going into the playoffs?
because last year it did not (personally don't consider the play-in getting into the playoffs) and this season right now is leaning towards the same direction.
having said that, I would not be willing to part ways with looney easily. there are def other players I'd consider to trade before him.

In a world with no cap and no roster restrictions? Maybe?

Unfortunately, there are trade rules people just conveniently ignore.

Hield and Looney. I doubt Looney would even be worth much in a trade.

Looney is at least an expiring which has value. I do feel like looney is close to being the most valuable to us and is harder to replace than gp2.

As much as Hield has disappeared and has had awful games -- his ability to shoot is something we need to keep on the team. I'd want to keep Hield & Loon.

Tough q. Loon or Hield. I think my answer might vary depending on whether I'm dressing to the right or the left that day.

Kyle Anderson + Buddy + Looney for Vucevic and Torrey Craig works in the trade machine. Also gives room to sign one more player when needed. Add 2nd round picks if needed.

It may suck to lose Looney but you can't have Looney, TJD and Vuc on the roster at the same time. Don't need Buddy's floor spacing as Vuc would replace it and just play Lindy he is better than Buddy anyways.
