Warriors fans are wondering when the heck the team are going to get Steph Curry some real help and one NBA insider says its still possible.
Golden State attempted to make a big splash several times over the summer after going after the likes of LeBron James, Paul George and Lauri Markkanen.
Although it may not happen before the start of the 2024-25 season, longtime NBA insider Marc Stein says to keep an eye out because the team may have big plans.
“Golden State is plotting its next moves in the wake of unsuccessful trade pursuits of Paul George and Lauri Markkanen in the offseason,” Stein said. “Team officials believe they remain well-positioned for a trade upgrade at some point in the next year or so after responding to the free agent departure of Curry’s longtime backcourt mate Klay Thompson by acquiring Kyle Anderson, Buddy Hield and De’Anthony Melton on short-term deals and retaining all of their draft picks.
“The distinct sense at Chase Center is that the Clippers and Jazz, despite no shortage of conversation with both teams, did not really want to do business with the Warriors.”
Stein also touched on the uncertainty around Golden State heading into the upcoming season.
“There are certainly challenges ahead. Curry, Draymond Green and Warriors coach Steve Kerr have not yet been truly faced with the reality that Thompson is no longer part of the organization they all hoped he would never leave,” Stein wrote. “The hope now is that the golden summer Curry and Kerr have enjoyed together provides some lasting insulation into what could be a complicated winter (and maybe even spring) as Golden State continues to truly reshape itself.”
