Warriors Named Potential Landing Spot For Former Bucks' Star

Warriors named potential landing spot for former Bucks' star

That's where the luck ran out for the Warriors, as Stephen Curry left Game 1 with a hamstring injury and never returned. While the Warriors took Game 1, they went on to lose the next four. 

The Warriors have been relatively quiet during free agency thus far. They let Kevon Looney go to join the New Orleans Pelicans. However, there's been speculation that the Warriors could be in play for a star guard in free agency.

According to Marc Spears, the Warriors have been in touch with Damian Lillard after the Milwaukee Bucks shockingly waived him Tuesday morning.

"Another thing that I'm hearing, of the many teams that reached out to Damian Lillard, the Warriors are one of those teams," Spears said on NBA Today, via Bleacher Report's Scott Polacek."This is a guy that grew up going to games at Oracle Arena, sneaking into the media room getting sodas. Grew up a Warriors fan. 

"That's interesting. I know Kuminga's big, but hearing that the Warriors do has interest in Dame, I know that's very interesting to Bay Area people."

Lillard will likely miss much of the season as he rehabilitates his torn Achilles. Add in the fact that he'll be 35 this season, his level of play upon return remains far from certain.

The Warriors rely on a lineup that features many veterans as part of their core, including Butler and Draymond Green. Making their rotation older might not be the best idea, but if Lillard shows that he can return to his old talent level, it could be a move that puts them over the top in the Western Conference.
