Golden State Warriors: Postseason Push| Trade| Rumors

Postseason Push:

Golden State very much is at a crossroads in this 2020-21 season, except it lately has rolled a little farther down one path than the other. With its dismal 141-119 loss to Sacramento Thursday night, it slipped below .500 (22-23) for the first time since the schedule’s fifth game.

After peaking a month ago at 19-15, good enough for fifth place in the Western Conference following a stretch of seven victories in 10 games, the Warriors have dropped eight of their past 11. They woke up Friday in 10^th place, just two games in front of the Kings that dismantled them the night before.

Star Stephen Curry remains one of the most potent weapons in the NBA, averaging 29 points per game, leading the league in 3-pointers and, at age 33, still elusive and explosive enough to take over games by himself. The franchise’s winning “culture” – second in self-promotion maybe only to Miami’s, yet quite real – is strong despite the absence of key contributors such as Kevin Durant (free agency in 2019) and Klay Thompson (two season-zapping injuries).

Trade:

The Warriors have agreed to trade point guard Brad Wanamaker to the Charlotte Hornets and center Marquese Chriss to the San Antonio Spurs, according to a league source.

There were a lot of eyes on the Golden State Warriors as the NBA trade deadline approached, and they ended up making a pair of small moves at the buzzer. Most notable is that the team is trading injured center Marquese Chriss to the San Antonio Spurs.

Rumors:

The Golden State Warriors have reportedly emerged as a “possible trade destination” for Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Danny Green ahead of the 2021 NBA trade deadline Thursday at 3 p.m. ET.

Marc Stein of the New York Times reported the update on Green, who can become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason with the conclusion of his two-year, $30 million contract.
