"At 20-20 overall and sitting outside the play-in, the Golden State Warriors have a real chance to miss the playoffs this season unless they do something at the trade deadline.,"
Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Steve Kerr are against a risky trade. But what if a star on a discount is available?
The Golden State Warriors may trade for a star pairing from the Utah Jazz before the Los Angeles Lakers get involved.
He is the focal point of a lot of scouting reports,” Heat center Bam Adebayo said of Herro. “So for us, it’s understanding that he’s got to play kind of like Steph. He might not get the ball, but

For the last few years, the Warriors have operated in wait-and-see mode. Blessed by having Curry in his prime (or at least on the early decline) the Dubs have been able to sweat the small stuff of the NBA — luxury tax avoidance, draft-pick management, two-way contracts, founding a women’s team.

Stephen Curry rolled out of bed Monday to prepare his aching knees for another basketball game, though he was listed as questionable with a left ankle sprain on the Warriors’ injury report. He was cleared shortly before tipoff, and it quickly became evident his movement was compromised.
The Warriors may be active on the trade market before the deadline, but they’re not expected to pursue a major deal until the offseason, writes Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN. Two Western Conference executives who talked to Youngmisuk believe Golden State will save its most valuable trade pieces for the summer in hopes of a making significant move.
