The Golden State Warriors enter the offseason needing to address some key holes in their roster as they try to chase another championship next season with their star trio leading the way.
Golden State is coming off a solid season that saw them reach the second round of the playoffs behind their veteran trio of Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green.
Unfortunately for the Warriors, they were eliminated in five games by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the second round after Curry suffered a hamstring injury in Game 1.
Now the Warriors enter the offseason looking to upgrade their roster around their aging trio as they try to capitalize on their championship window.
For Golden State, one area they need to upgrade this summer is their frontcourt and a recent three-team mock trade posted on X by Ball Report would help them do just that.
In the trade, the Warriors would receive Santi Aldama from the Memphis Grizzlies in a sign-and-trade deal while sending Moses Moody to the Brooklyn Nets.
For the Grizzlies, the would acquire Dariq Whitehead and Keon Johnson from Brooklyn and a 2026 first-round pick swap from Golden State.
Sign and trade scenario for the Golden State Warriors to get Santi Aldama:

Warriors Receive: Santi Aldama (3/37.8)
Grizzlies Receive: Dariq Whitehead, Keon Johnson and a 2026 FRP swap via GS
Nets Receive: Moses Moody pic.twitter.com/VV8dwLuhA3
This trade would be a solid one for the Warriors as they would add Aldama, who would be a massive upgrade to their frontcourt and would also help them space the floor.
Aldama is coming off a season in which he averaged 12.5 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game while shooting 48.3% from the field and 36.8% from three-point range.
The 6-11 forward would be a great fit alongside Green in the starting lineup or the Warriors could also elect to have him come off the bench in the second unit.
While this trade could work out well for Golden State, moving on from a young guard in Moses Moody would be a tough decision and they could instead look to package Moody and other players in a trade for a bigger name.
Either way, the Warriors do need to address their frontcourt this summer and Aldama would be a solid addition to their roster.
