Warriors set one condition to make a big trade

The Golden State Warriors have flirted with .500 basketball for most of the season.

They're not a championship-contending team right now, even with Stephen Curry averaging 27.1 points per game on 46.8 percent shooting from the floor. Jimmy Butler suffered a season-ending injury, leaving the former MVP even more alone in his pursuit of glory.

However, that's not going to change Mike Dunleavy Jr.'s plans. When asked about trying to replace Butler with a big-name star, the Warriors GM poured some ice-cold water on fans' hopes.

Warriors won't trade any first-round picks

"If we're talking about trading draft picks that will be going out when Steph isn't here, it's going to have to be a player that we think we'll be getting back that is going to be here when those picks are going out," Dunleavy said, per ESPN's Anthony Slater.

Dunleavy also ruled out moving Butler, who he expects to come back to the team once he makes a full recovery next season. To add insult to injury, the GM admitted that there weren't any takers for wantaway forward Jonathan Kuminga, potentially hurting his trade value even more.

Dunleavy's work has left plenty to be desired since he took the reins from Bob Myers, the architect behind the Warriors dynasty. And while it makes sense that he's looking forward to the future of the franchise, it feels like the Warriors have given up on Curry.

No. 30 is still at the peak of his powers, but this is a team sport first and foremost. Not giving him help while he's still a superstar is a disservice to the greatest player in franchise history.
