Why The Golden State Warriors Do The Deal
Meanwhile, a contender can burn a lottery pick and hardly even notice.
Look at the Warriors. They selected James Wiseman with the second overall pick, only to eventually flip him for Gary Payton III. Meanwhile, Moody has been a fixture on the back of their bench for two years now.
That’s part of why they’re doing this deal. The Warriors are flipping two players they don’t even use in exchange for a solid veteran. That makes sense enough on its own.
Adding McDermott’s elite floor spacing to this offense makes even more sense. Moreover, the Warriors simply need depth.

This team’s attempt to get younger while still contending has resulted in a shallow bench. McDermott would be a welcomed addition.
Even if they’re trading a recent lottery pick to land him.
