Warriors Seek Stretch Big Man
The Golden State Warriors are actively searching for a frontcourt player with strong three-point shooting abilities to address their offensive and defensive shortcomings.
After failing to acquire Lauri Markkanen, the Warriors recognize the need for a stretch big man to complement their star-studded lineup.
Their current roster lacks sufficient shooting and versatility in the frontcourt, especially with Draymond Green’s potential move to center.
While they have explored options like drafting Quentin Post and signing Kyle Anderson, neither is seen as a reliable long-term solution.
To fill this gap, the Warriors are considering smaller-scale trades to acquire a stretch big man without compromising their future assets.
Three potential trade targets include:
- Wendell Carter Jr. (Orlando Magic): A young and skilled center with good shooting ability, but his defensive limitations are a concern.
- Zach Collins (San Antonio Spurs): An injury-prone player with offensive talent, but his consistency is questionable.
- Jock Landale (Houston Rockets): A recent Olympic standout with shooting potential, but his NBA track record is limited.
These trades involve sending out players like Kevon Looney and Moses Moody, along with draft picks, to acquire the desired frontcourt player.
The Warriors aim to improve their roster without sacrificing their long-term plans.
Ultimately, the Warriors are determined to find a stretch big man who can contribute to their offensive firepower and provide flexibility in their frontcourt rotation.
