Why The Golden State Warriors Do The Deal
Some Warriors fans will protest here. This is the last year of Thompson’s contract.
Sure. What about his next contract? Thompson has declined to an extent. He’s far less consistent than he used to be. He’s still going to command more than either Rose or Robinson currently make.
Besides, Rose is on an expiring deal as well. When factoring in Thompson’s next deal, this trade has the Warriors saving a considerable amount of money long-term.
It also has them netting Mitchell Robinson. He may not even be available if he didn’t seem to be petitioning for a trade.

Should the Knicks part with him?
