The Golden State Warriors are widely expected to make a trade ahead of the February 8 deadline. Steve Kerr‘s team has stuttered throughout the season’s first half, currently sitting 12th in the Western Conference with an 18-21 record. As such, there have been multiple rumors making their way around the news cycle surrounding potential trades that could take place.
The Warriors have multiple trade assets at their disposal. Mike Dunleavy Jr. could decide to dangle some of the younger talent on the roster in a potential trade for a ready-made upgrade from a team that’s looking to re-tool or rebuild. Or, he could look to move on a proven veteran in a bigger deal that also restructures some of the cap sheet.
Whatever Dunleavy decides to do, it will likely have an effect on how the second half of the season will unfold. However, before dreaming of who could be heading to the Bay Area, it’s wise to take stock of whose time with the Warriors could be nearing an end.
