GSW to get another scorer/NOP

Option 1:
GSW sends Wiggins/Looney
NOP sends McCollum

While not a good fit defensively, putting McCollum and Curry on the court together offensively is a nightmare for opposing teams. For GSW it means Kuminga joins the starting lineup at SF (or PF if Green is the small ball center).
For NOP, it allows Jones to be the full 2G and still have additions when Ingram gets traded.

Option 2:
GSW trades Wiggins/Looney
Utah sends Sexton/Clarkson

GSW gets a cheaper, younger version of McCollum. One who can in a pinch be the PG and at 25 he can run with Pods/Kuminga/Moody/TJD.
Utah gets a SF to work with Markkanen if the Jazz want to go for wins. And if not, Wiggins' contract is not too daunting.

GS already has a bunch of undersized guards. Definitely not interested in trading our starting SF and only backup big for more.

Yeah. Warriors need a number 2 scoring option, but not in the form of another undersized guard.

Ingram makes a lot more sense here. The Warriors are one of the few teams who could take a wait-and-see approach with him.

Doesn't mesh with Kerr or the Dubs style of play. Lot of the issues the Pels got with his fit also exist with GS

Eh, the Warriors spacing is still better than most teams. It might get dicey in units with Kuminga, but just don't play those two together.

I know Ingram is persona non grata on this board but I'd actually be interested in trading for him if we don't end up making a move for Markkanen (which is looking less and less likely by the day).

Wiggins + GP2 (for salary matching) + Moody + a protected 1st ought to be enough to get the ball rolling.

If the guy don’t fit with arguably the teams third best player, and the solution is don’t play them together, it’s probably not a good idea imo.

Hence the Lauri pursuit, the only guy on the team he probably fits with as well as Steph is Kuminga

I would trade Kuminga before he comes off his rookie contract, but YMMV.

Yea, the Kerr benching of Ingram on Team USA last summer is a red flag, but I do find it interesting that GSW just hired Jerry Stackhouse as an assistant-- who is Ingram's mentor from North Carolina when he was coming up. That could be a buffer bridge between any Kerr awkwardness. And as we just saw with Kerr benching Tatum-- maybe it wasn't just an Ingram fit thing.

That Wigggins+ offer probably is where the discussion starts, but should need a third team to reroute Wiggins. Herb and Murphy need to start with Ingram outgoing, so Wiggins would be a misfit. Like Wiggins+ to Toronto for them to add another Canadian stone in their Thanos gaulent-- with Poeltl to the Pels.

We have no bigs that can space the floor.

Ingram really doesn't fit how Kerr likes to play, and Kerr just got a 2 year extension and hasn't changed how he wants to play throughout his tenure with the exception of KD and even then butted heads with KD with style of play and that 2019 year was awful. I highly doubt we're interested in Ingram.
