Warriors Interested In Nikola Vucevic, John Collins, Jonas Valanciunas, Robert Williams

The Golden State Warriors are looking to upgrade the frontcourt, sources told Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.


The team have inquired about Nikola Vucevic, John Collins, Jonas Valanciunas, and Robert Williams.


As reported earlier this month, their interest in Jimmy Butler and Cam Johnson has decreased.


The Warriors are also not looking to trade Jonathan Kuminga, according to Scotto.

I cannot imagine the Warrior's getting Nikola Vucevic. I don't feel them have enough assets to get the deal done.

I'm surprised Jonas Valanciunas and Robert Williams haven't already been traded away as they are super-talented but mostly spending time on the bench.

The price tag doesn't seem to be that high for Vucevic. GS has a ton of young players to throw the Chi to get it done. An FRP and some a couple young pieces and filler should get it done.

Vucevic has aged well on offense. He just had 40 pt game, is shooting very efficiently this year. He has an eFG% of 62% on 15 shots a game. If you plug ihim into a well running offense his production still outvalues his average defense. He gets 10 board a game too. Seems like the most impactful player for this season
