Only hypothetical.yes or no

[pistons4ever]

Baynes kcp to gsw
Cousins to gsw

Green and thompson to Detroit

Harris morris and perhaps a pic of gsw to kings

On espn we would be -11 but think that is cause thompson has bad numbers right Now


Of course our Bench would be weaker but the s5
Drummond green Johnson Thompson jackson sounds well rounded

[pistons4ever]

Kings want more for Boogie...but they will Never get one of the top Guys like a.davis .towns or something like that

The longer Sactown waits on Cousins, the less they will get for him. I do like a KCP for Thompson trade - would be good for both teams.

[WC NBA Fan]

I like it for the Pistons but I don't see GSW doing it especially when you consider that Klay and Green are on bargain contracts considering the type of money that flew around this past off season. Throwing in a possible pic to Sacramento just makes it worse for them.

I've never been a fan of Boogie so while getting Morris and Harris in exchange for him would seem like a good idea on paper, it just crowds their forward rotation even more. You'd now have 4 small forwards with Morris, Gay, Barnes and Casspi. They'd have to follow it up with a trade that would dump one of their SF's on some under the cap team like Philly or something.

Dump Gay on the Sixers and you have the making of a good trade for Detroit and Sacramento but you still have the GS angle. Taking on a toxic cancer like Cousins in exchange for 2 all stars on bargain contracts is risky. You also have to remember that Curry and Durant are free agents this summer. With the current roster, they probably stay put. Bring in a cancer like Cousins who won't coddle towards them because they're franchise players and you might just be blowing up a potential dynasty. Just not worth the risk.

All in all, good thinking though. I still like it for the other teams and on paper, a Curry/Durant/Cousins threesome would be a fantasy leaguers wet dream. Just can't see it working on the court or on the spreadsheet long term. I say spreadsheet because Cousins, Durant and Curry pretty much cap you out right there. In order to justify sending out Klay and Draymond, you most likely would have to resign KCP so you're looking at another 15-20 million there as well. You'd have to pray that Boogie doesn't ruin things then hope that the depth created by late draft picks and minimum salary players would be enough.

Yeah, not enough for Cousins. Sacramento won't ever get another star for him but Harris and Morris with a late future Golden State pick would be awful. WC does a good job explaining why it doesn't really work for the Warriors either. DeMarcus being a huge pain in the locker room isn't just hyperbole. Way too much smoke for there not to be fire for that particular issue. And then there's the money, which doesn't work going forward at all and leaves Golden State very little to work with to upgrade outside of a re-signed Curry and a re-signed Durant alongside Cousins. Don't think Kerr wants to play that way anyways.

I would do it for Detroit. Sending out Caldwell-Pope, Harris, Morris, and Baynes is a pretty big shakeup but getting Green and Thompson back in return is more than worth it. Works out pretty well getting an elite secondary facilitator in the starting lineup with Jackson and an elite defender to pair with him in the backcourt to make up for his shortcomings there.

Golden State still isn't ever going to trade Draymond though.

[The Penguin]

Golden State isn't going to trade Green & Klay, especially not for anything we have to give them.


A deal I think would be interesting, but I believe both sides would think they are giving too much is:

Klay for KCP / Stanimal / Baynes

GSW can plug KCP into Klay's spot, develop Stanimal as Iggy's replacement and help address their big man problem with Baynes. We add one of the best shooters and best 2 guards in the league in Klay to help give our lineup legitimate floor spacing. But again, I think Pistons fans would say we are giving up too much and I don't think Warriors fans think they are getting enough.

[Manocad]

Golden State does this why?

[Timmaytime]

It'd be hard enough to get Green OR Thompson let alone both

[tmorgan]

Detroit does this instantly, but that's because you don't get two top 20ish players for KCP, Morris, Harris, and Baynes. Not even close.

Warriors give a hypothetical hell no
