Why The Golden State Warriors Do The Deal
Primarily, the Warriors are making one last title push here. On the other hand, that’s not all they’re accomplishing.
This is also a prudent financial decision for the Warriors. Jordan Poole is on a long-term extension. George gets paid more, but next season is the last year of his deal. The Warriors are tidying up their books here.
Of course, they’re also acquiring Paul George. That’s the main draw here. He should make them a significantly better team next year.

Roster-wise, the Warriors will have a lot to consider here. They could bump Andrew Wiggins down to the 2 and bring Klay Thompson off the bench.
They should shift Wiggins to the 4 and have Draymond Green run the second unit. In either case, adding George would be a huge win-now splash for this organization.
Should the Clippers help them make it?
