This from our favorite wheelchair salesman Paul Pierce:
Paul Pierce says the Warriors should trade the No. 2 pick for Nikola Vucevic
“I think he could go in there and fit right in among their guards. He gives them a down-low presence and can knock down shots.”

I don't see any of these happening. All of these guys are expensive, Griffin has problems staying healthy, and it's not clear that any of them move the needle that much. In any case, I'd like to see what Wiggins can do with a new system with Curry, Thompson, Green and Looney on the floor with him. He would be the 3rd option which really ought to translate to a lot of open looks.
I'm hearing a potential trade with the Suns for a pick swap + Oubre for 2nd overall pick. I'm not sure if the Suns would go for that though tbh since they probably want to compete next year.
