Warriors' latest trade offer for Michael Porter Jr. revealed

The Golden State Warriors continue to hover around .500 basketball. They’re 21-19 and in eighth place in the Western Conference at the time of writing.

HC Steve Kerr has been brutally honest about his team’s chances — or lack thereof — of competing at the highest level as currently constructed.

That’s why they’ve been tied to multiple players, with Brooklyn Nets star Michael Porter Jr. as their primary potential trade target. Then again, that doesn’t mean they’re willing to go all-in to land the former Denver Nuggets star. According to ClutchPoints insider Brett Siegel, they don’t want to trade more than one first-round pick to get him.

Warriors don’t want to give up multiple picks for Michael Porter Jr.

"Early signals from the Warriors are that they do not want to trade more than one first-round pick for Porter, especially since such a move would involve trading Kuminga and Moses Moody," Siegel wrote. "Porter appears to be at the top of the Warriors' list right now if they can land him for Kuminga, Moody, Buddy Hield, and a first-round pick."

The Warriors have been adamant about giving up valuable draft assets, knowing that their picks from the post-Steph Curry era will most likely be in the top 10. That being said, the Nets shouldn’t be in a hurry to move Porter, either, knowing that it might be just a matter of time before someone meets their asking price, given that he still has another year left in his contract. 

Porter would give the Warriors a floor spacer who can play both forward spots. He’s an efficient three-level scorer who can play off the ball and has championship experience. He’s averaging 25.9 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 3.8 three-pointers per game on 49/40/83 shooting splits, and he might be the missing piece this team needs to get back to contention.
