Why The Golden State Warriors Do The Deal 

As mentioned, there’s a large difference between these teams. The Raptors are giving up on the shell of a title winner. The Warriors are protecting a dynasty. 

Some will say that it’s over. If the Warriors fall short in this year’s playoffs and decide to rebuild, that would be understandable. 

On the other hand, the last few years have been strange for this organization. The Warriors have been trying to stay in contention while also developing a young core. As a result, they’ve got exciting young players to move. 

Kuminga is the most exciting of them all. Still, adding Pascal Siakam to this core ought to get the Warriors back to contention.

He’d likely play the 5 alongside Draymond Green, giving the Warriors a surplus of playmaking and defensive versatility in their frontcourt. 

With a group like that, they may not see any reason to retreat.
