With no Klay Thompson, this year’s Warriors team is exactly what everyone expected it to be — unpredictable. Steph Curry is a legitimate NBA MVP candidate this season and have carried Golden State to this point in the season.
Newcomers like Andrew Wiggins and Kelly Oubre Jr. are going to have to step up and continue contributing at a high-level in order for this Warriors team to reach its full potential, but outside of Steph Curry this season, it is hard to point to a guy on this roster and feel comfortable with them having the ball in their hands.
Wiggins has been their most reliable option outside of Steph Curry, but Kelly Oubre Jr. and Draymond Green have been disappointing on the offensive end of the court. These two are combining for about 16.8 points per game and shooting a combined average of 36% from the floor.
Rookie James Wiseman has been impressive early on in the season, as has second-year forward Eric Paschall. Up-and-down this roster, the Warriors definitely have the talent to be a legit team in the Western Conference, the only question is if they can get consistent offensive production from Wiggins and Oubre Jr.
So far, the answer has been no, which is why the Golden State Warriors could look to be aggressive near the NBA trade deadline. With Kelly Oubre Jr. continuing to struggle and the Warriors wanting to continue to compete for a championship now, they could very much be in the “Bradley Beal Sweepstakes.”
Could Golden State pull off a trade to land the 2x All-Star guard? Let’s take a look at three trade scenarios for the Warriors to land Bradley Beal to pair him with Steph Curry.
