Golden State Warriors: Top trade candidates before 2019 deadline
If the Golden State Warriors happen to make a trade ahead of the 2019 deadline, one of these top trade candidates will likely be included in the deal.
More than likely, the Golden State Warriors won’t be too active ahead of the 2019 NBA trade deadline. With limited trade chips available and little interest in moving what draft assets they have, the Warriors figure to stand pat come Feb. 7.
Then again, this is the NBA. Anything can happen ahead of the trade deadline, which more often than not provides us with at least one shocker. Could the Warriors turn the league on its head and pull off a blockbuster deal to aid their pursuit of a third-straight championship?
Maybe. Maybe not. For now, though, let’s focus on the finer details of a potential deal instead of pondering whether or not a deal will actually happen.
By that, I mean that we should look at the Warriors’ top trade candidates as we work our way towards the 2019 deadline. Obviously just about anyone without a no-trade clause can be sent packing for the right price. At this moment, though, there are several Golden State players who seem more likely than the rest to have a Woj bomb dropped with their name in it.
So without further ado, let’s take a gander at three Warriors players who stand the best odds of wearing different jerseys by the end of the 2018-19 campaign. Just keep in mind that there’s no guarantee any sort of deal will be struck by Bob Myers in the foreseeable future.
