Chicago Bulls Receive: G/F Andrew Wiggins, 2026 First-Round Pick (GSW)
Golden State Warriors Receive: G/F DeMar DeRozan
Here’s a question: why would it be so shocking if the Warriors traded for a star player this summer?
Well, again: the Warriors won the NBA championship in 2021-22. Generally, the team that walks away from the season with the Larry O’Brien trophy makes minimal moves in an offseason. After all, what issues could they have to fix?
Yet, the Warriors’ grip on the title feels relatively weak. For starters, this core is aging. If any one of Steph Curry, Draymond Green, or Klay Thompson suffers age-related regression in 2022-23, it shouldn’t come as a shock.
Moreover, the teams around them are improving. The Warriors shouldn’t count on Khris Middleton to get hurt again. The Philadelphia 76ers made some key additions this summer.

Even the Brooklyn Nets could be terrifying if they manage to click. The Warriors are not a budding dynasty – they’re a potentially crumbling one.
Does landing DeRozan help them extend their run?
