The Golden State Warriors had started the season exploring the idea of playing their younger players more and more, but it seems like those days may be coming to an end.
According to a report from Anthony Slater of The Athletic, the Golden State Warriors are now open to trading young center James Wiseman. Here is the exact transcript from Slater's article.
"The noise around the league the last couple of days is an increased willingness from the Warriors to engage in conversation and explore the idea of moving their younger, out-of-the-rotation players if a significant enough upgrade is offered. There's a greater whiff of aggressiveness.
Offers always get more realistic as the deadline nears. In recent weeks, teams called the Warriors in search of a bargain. If James Wiseman and Moses Moody weren't providing any current on court value, could they be had for pennies on the dollar? But in recent days, as the conversations league-wide progressively turn more practical, the conceptual deals coming the Warriors' direction have increased enough to believe something might actually materialize before the buzzer."
The Warriors are in a very tricky spot when it comes to figuring out their roster next season. Yes, they're under accomplishing this season, but they're also very capable of beating top teams like the Boston Celtics. Additionally, they have to worry about the contract Draymond Green desires and if his leaving will dramatically impact the team. There's much to pay attention to in Warrior land after this season.
