Warriors Willing To Consider Any Player In Trade Scenario Except Stephen Curry

[RealGM Wiretap]

The Golden State Warriors have difficult decisions to make heading into the trade deadline as their season is on the brink of collapse falling out of the Play-In chase. With that in mind, the Warriors' front office has the mindset that everybody on the roster could be discussed in trade scenarios with the exception of Stephen Curry.

"The mindset in Golden State right now is everyone but Steph Curry is on the table," said Shams Charania. "That's their mindset. Realistically, there's an asterisk. Klay Thompson, would they want to keep him long-term and keep him in Golden State? I think that's been their hope. They have not been able to reach a contract extension with him. And Draymond Green just got [re-signed to] an extension. Those have been their three core guys.

"In the front office, they're big fans of Jonathan Kuminga, they're big fans of Brandon Podziemski, big fans of Trace Jackson-Davis. But [Andrew] Wiggins and everyone else on that roster, except Steph Curry, has to be in play for this team.

"They're going to be looking to make moves."

The Warriors also don't want to take long-term money back in any trade.

Charania also adds that the uncertain status of Steve Kerr, who has not signed an extension, weighs on their decision making.

Curry is the only one with any real value. Kuminga has a little positive value too, but that pu pu platter of available players isn't going to make a difference in the grand scheme of things. Holding on to Curry until his ankles fall off is only delaying the rebuild and a chance at a good team by years and years.

Yup.

Plus, do Steph a favor. Don’t make him waste his last breaths of greatness on this no chance team.

Get him to a true contender. You get some assets, you do right and thank Steph by getting him to a good situation.

To Philly for a couple picks, and salary match (Tobias, RoCo works).

To OKC with some low roster guys for Dort/Micic/Bertans/Dieng works (plus picks).

Not even. They have the location and reputation that will draw big name free agents for years to come. If they choose the ride curry til the end- they won’t have issues considering the endorsements that come from silicone valley/California. They will always be able to go into luxury tax with funding behind them. They won’t get high draft picks but they won’t be “delaying the rebuild”

Of course it will! Draymond 3 years after this year. If they keep Curry, they're going to sign Thompson to another multi year deal (although he's practically a corpse today). 3 years of Curry left. Trading him now (and dumping Draymond's contract with him lets them start the rebuild now. They are 4 years minimum from a rebuild holding on to Curry. They have almost no current assets to improve this team that is so far above the cap they are restricted even in trying to add buyout guys. Y

I agree that they are probably going to be one of the more attractive markets in free agency, but that's a pipe dream for years with the current direction.

If Curry wants to retire a Warrior then of course you really have no choice as an organization, but if he is up for trying for another chip you should do your team a favor and get a few first rounders/young players to jump start that rebuild

The Warrior’s should renegotiate Curry’s current contract to a 300mil 30yr extension starting next season.

Essentially it’s an additional 200mil on top of the 115mil they own him for 2025 & 2026.

Instead of retiring they waive him and they eat the 10 mil each year which will be next to nothing in 5-10 years or just buy him out in one lump sum.

This allows them to rebuild on the fly quicker by next season and let him stay with the team on his own terms.

Bringing back Mark Jackson to coach the team to one last championship with Curry would be a full circle moment for both of their careers.

Insanity.

I think if I were them I might call Leon Rose and reconsider who is untouchable. It wouldn't make sense for (my) Knicks but who wouldn't listen and make an offer for Curry? He's still unbelievable.

[JN61]

This is why none of warriors players should take paycuts. They get thrown out of window on the first chance they get if they don't perform regardless of their loyalty.

Thompson is a funny looking corpse his three point shooting has risen to .38 after a horrid start he has shot the lights out oh and he is averaging 17 a game.. Hmm corpse i think not..

Since he only has one finals mvp unless he goes to another team and wins finals mvp it wont change much

Stating facts is stupid? Ok

Age and Father time doesn't stop for anyone.
The Warriors just need to decide which way they want to go.

Warriors need to capitalize on the moment or just go the rebuild route.
