Trade Thread (EPISODE VII: Which team wants our bad players for their good players?)

[Coxy]

Would you trade Kuminga , Podziemski & some picks For LeBron?

If you can expand it so we don't get Lebron, and we end up with a top C, great.

Ayton is a top C ?

He'd be a good vet min signing, see how his motivation is in a limited role.

I'm thinking more in the Adebayo mould.

GSW needs the depth to be in playoff contention without burning out their top 3. that must be the objective for the off season. A fresh steph, butler and dray can compete with anyone in the league.

Think a season of Ayton would put the complaints about Kuminga into a little bit of perspective.

Dont like someone who wants to be an nba great and works hard on his game - but maybe isnt there yet? Try someone who only periodically shows up to practice and only wants to be great at video games.

Ayton...the body of Carl Malone and the soul of Joe Barry Carol (ask the older Warrior fans for reference if needed)

Joe Barely Cares is the perfect comp.

We can use our TPE to accumulate draft capital from borderline apron teams. Celtics would be a good trade partner. George Niang plus FRP for out TPE plus SRP.

Celtics can then fill out their roster and get out of the second apron.

Giannis sweepstake is heating up. Here is the proposed trade once JK is eligible to be traded.

Warriors send JK, Dray, Gui, pods, 3 frps and 2 frp swaps to MIL for Giannis. Mil can reroute Dray to Detroit for Tobias.

Warriors would need to meet the minimum 14 player roster after trade and this can be done by signing rookies such as Tooney to the SRP minimum salary.

Posted the below in the trade forum - I think we’d be a really tough out with the below roster. Not missing much, just need curry and jimmy to stay healthy

Heat
Incoming - kuminga
Outgoing - Wiggins, cash to Utah

Utah
Incoming - Moody, 2026 GSW lotto protected first, 2028 top 3 protected first, cash from heat
Outgoing - Walker Kessler

GSW
Incoming - Kessler, Wiggins
Outgoing - moody, kuminga and 2x first round picks above

GSW - get bigger to compete with the top 3 in the west. Top 8 playoff guys become

Steph
Wigs
Jimmy
Dray
Horford
Kessler
Hield
Podz

Melton, post and santos close behind.

Steadily monitor the Keon Ellis situation in Sac. He may be near demanding a trade. Would be a good backcourt compliment to Steph.

At least, we didn't trade JK for a guy the kings DNP-CD.

Was getting 8 in preseason until the last game. Got LaVine, Schroder, Clifford (a rookie), Monk and Russ ahead of him in the guard rotation and a UFA at season’s end. No way he don’t tell them “I ain’t re-signing” if things continue at this rate and they have to trade him or lose him for nothing (ah, the irony)

I agree but plenty were willing to dump jk for DC just to turn the page.

That’s dependent on them only valuing him as a salary filler. I’m still unsure why they offered a 1+1. The most likely scenario was always going to be picking that option up and then he becomes a fa

To be honest, if JK plays like this the whole "contract was designed to be torn up and renegotiated this summer" may not be completely ridiculous. Whether by GSW or another team, he may get an extension this summer, if he keeps this up.

Since he's on his 2nd contract, he's no longer a RFA after this contract, this is a way for GS to have more control of keeping Kuminga vs him leaving for nothing. If he buys in (and he is) GS will want to keep Kuminga and can offer to decline the TO and hand him a big 4–5-year contract and expect he doesn't Boozer them. If he doesn't want to resign with GS, they opt in on the TO and either think they can sell him on staying in GS over the next season or trade him and his Bird rights to somewhere he wants to extend at.

This is also why I've gotten in an argument in one of these threads before the season started saying it's possible with how Kuminga's playing he's no longer going to be moved and the next guy of value and somewhat sizable salary to move would be Moody and having Richard on the minimum able to do some of what Moody does at a fraction of the price makes that easier to do. Of course, Moody is better than Richard, but sometimes you have to shuffle around talent to make your roster as good as it can be. Moving Podz means you're bringing back someone less than his 3.6 million contract and if you start stacking contracts you have an issue of getting to the 14-man active minimum while being hard capped.

I think we either move JK this Feb or, if he plays like this, keep him into this summer to see what we had. I wanted to see Steph, JB, JK, Dray, Al from the moment it was rumored Horford might come here but I did not think that would be the lineup to close the Den game. I thought we wouldn't see 1 min from that 5 man unit unless they were on a 5 game losing streak. Even JK's 3pt misses looked fine yesterday (other than the one he forced/sped up) and if he, dray, and jimmy are in the mid 30s from 3, that's be plenty of spacing for Steph and Al.

Moody should be back tonight and with, at least Al, not playing, there should not be an issue with minutes. Once he's fully healthy and if JK and Podz keep playing like this (well and less well, respectively) it will be very interesting to see who loses minutes. IF Melton gets healthy, we may actually need to move someone to create clear our glut of players under 6'5 who are not PGs.

I think the future front line of Kessler and Kuminga could be very good. Kessler did well against the Clippers on their opening night this season. He's still a work in progress of course. He's making 4.9 mil on the last year of his rookie contract and with GS being hard capped it would be difficult to send Podz + other salary to get to 14 players but maybe you could sign Curry's brother earlier to fix that.

Moody + 2 picks for Kessler.

I can't say i watch a lot of Uta but.... Kessler is intriguing if he can actually shoot to 3. If the experts agree that he can, I'd do moody, next year's FRP, and the other end of the pick we sent to Was (2030, 1-20 to Uta, top 1 protected?).
