Why The Golden State Warriors Do The Deal
By contrast, this is strictly a win-now move for the Warriors. They’re trying to extend their dynasty.
Adding Anunoby would be a smart way to do it. This is one of the best 3-and-D wings in the NBA. In adding him to a core that already features Andrew Wiggins and Draymond Green, the Warriors would be enhancing what’s already been an elite defense.
If there are reservations here, they’ll owe to Anunoby’s potential overlap with Wiggins and Green. We see that as a non-issue. Green is aging and may be seeking a larger contract elsewhere soon anyway. Meanwhile, Anunoby can play the 4 alongside Wiggins.
In fact, the trio should be absolutely devasting with Green manning the 5 in their signature Death Lineups. They may make the deadliest Death Lineup the Warriors have fielded to date.
