Why The Golden State Warriors Do The Deal
We already told you why the Warriors do the deal. It’s simple. They can’t afford Green.
Put “The Punch” aside. Let’s pretend Green has been a model citizen. The Warriors still needed to prioritize the much younger Poole and Wiggins. However you slice it, Green looks like the odd man out.
If the Warriors are going to move him, they might as well get a win-now package in return. After all, these are the defending champions. The Warriors have every opportunity to retain the Larry O’Brien trophy by the end of 2022-23.
Bogdanovic and Burks could help them do so. The former’s floor spacing should be devastating in what’s already one of the most spaced-out offences in the NBA.

Moreover, Burks is the type of 3-and-D wing that would fit on any contending team.
If everything goes right, maybe the Warriors can delay the end of their dynasty a little longer.
