Latest news: Golden state Warriors will Trade Targets to Avoid…….

The NBA trade deadline looms as perhaps the Golden State Warriors’ final hope for salvaging this season.

Their roster needs help in virtually all areas, so the front office should be aggressive and open to almost anything.

The Dubs’ decision-makers need to be careful, though. If they make the wrong move now, it could haunt them for years.

The following three potential trade targets look like particularly poor fits for this team.

Golden State’s lack of size and athleticism along the perimeter is glaring to the point of often appearing as a fatal flaw.

That, more than anything, could potentially steer this squad toward Jerami Grant, a 6’7″ swingman who can toggle between the 3 and 4 spots with ease. He also happens to be a shape-shifting stopper who might have a better chance of serving as Stephen Curry’s second option than anyone on the roster.

All of that said, the Dubs should stay away. For multiple reasons.

First, he’s never been a featured option for anyone other than tanking teams, so it’s hard to say how much of his 21.6 points per game would actually carry over to a win-now club. Second, he isn’t someone the Blazers are looking to move, so his trade cost could effectively deplete the Dubs’ asset collection. Finally, the five-year, $160 million pact he signed over the offseason could restrict the franchise’s finances going forward and make it even more challenging to upgrade this roster during the remainder of Curry’s prime.
