Golden State Warriors Urged to Trade for $150M NBA Superstar

The Golden State Warriors failed to acquire an established co-star alongside Steph Curry this offseason, and in all likelihood, they won’t do so until the start of the 2024-25 season. Multiple reports have suggested that the Warriors will have to revisit the trade market midseason after failing to reach a deal this summer.

This is a risky bet for Golden State, as there is a good chance they will face an uphill battle in the NBA standings between now and the trade deadline. That said, it is not uncommon for players to become available at the deadline who were previously unavailable during the offseason, so Golden State’s patience may be rewarded.

In a recent article, Bleacher Report’s Greg Swartz named three trade targets for every NBA team and urged the Warriors to trade for LA Clippers star Kawhi Leonard if they can’t strike an even bigger deal for Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James.

“If a James trade doesn’t work out, the Warriors should look for another veteran star in California,” Swartz wrote. “The Clippers also have a real chance of falling to .500 this season (or lower) without Paul George on the roster. Pairing Leonard with Curry and Draymond Green would make the Warriors a Western title threat, assuming all parties are healthy and Green is at his best.”

Leonard would be a perfect basketball player for Golden State, but there’s no reason to believe LA will sign him next season, even if they struggle. Coming into the brand new Intuit Dome, the Clippers signed Leonard to a three-year extension last season worth $153 million (value via ESPN).
