Trade Grab Bag 3. Kelly Oubre, Domantas Sabonis, Robert Covington, Andre Iguodala for #2 ?
I tee them up, you knock them down. Or hug them.
More trade grab bag. In early poll returns, people are down on all of them except for the Sabonis trade. I guess people have really warmed up to having the #2 pick even if the top of the draft is so iffy.
Kelly Oubre for #2
BlueManHoop has an article suggesting a trade for Hortford and Simmons which can't possibly work due to cap constraints but the idea of Simmons for Wiggins or Simmons for Wiggins plus say, a pair of 2nd rounds is intriguing.
Simmons has one significant flaw (shooting) but is otherwise a great fit for everything the Warriors are missing right now.
Any thoughts on Simmons as a Warrior and what we should give up beside Wiggins?
Seems to be a bit of confusion out there about bad contracts. Perceived bad contracts aren’t necessarily tied to bad players. Chris Paul definitely added wins for OKC.
Why should we as fans care if the owners lose money for a couple of years? They are going to rake in tons of money over the long haul.
Using the TPC to take in a bad contract and assets could help the team now with a good player and in the future with draft assets.
All the trade proposals seem to be focused on young up a comers (makes sense based upon the value of the trade exception.) But what bad contract players can the Warriors bring in to compete now and get more assets for only the cost of $?
