The Golden State Warriors so far have a record of 18 wins and 22 losses, ranking 12th in the Western Conference. For the Golden State Warriors who want to win the championship in the 2023-24 season, they are now even unable to enter the playoffs. became a problem. Faced with such a poor performance, trade rumors about the Golden State Warriors also surged.
Recently, NBA famous reporter Shams Charania said that the Warriors have put everyone on the trading table except Stephen Curry. Faced with this kind of remarks, the Golden State Warriors did not give much response. However, Golden State Warriors veteran Draymond Green responded to the rumor.
Draymond Green said on his podcast, "If that trade comes to fruition, you deal with it, and when you get there, you've crossed that bridge."
"That's not really what I'm worried about. thing. I know everybody's like, 'Oh, the Warriors are going to make a trade, they're going to make a trade.' I mean, if you're 18-22 years old, how can you question anything that anybody does? ?"
Draymond Green is not worried about being traded because he is very aware of his importance to the Golden State Warriors. Without him, the Golden State Warriors cannot continue to succeed. For the Golden State Warriors, the five players most likely to be traded are Draymond Green, Chris Paul, Andrew Wiggins, Gary Payton and Klay Thompson.
Draymond Green has been focused on by the league due to his repeated injuries. He is no longer able to provide more help to the team in defense and pick-and-roll cooperation as he did in the past. So far in the 2023-24 season, Draymond Green has played only 16 games, averaging 9.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.7 blocks per game.
Although Klay Thompson has regained some form recently, his overall level so far this season has not met expectations. Klay Thompson averaged 17.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game this season. Whether it's offense or defense, his state is not as good as before.
Chris Paul is troubled by injuries, and his annual salary of 30 million US dollars also makes him one of the stumbling blocks to the team's reinforcements. Andrew Wiggins has not found his form since last season, and he has been getting worse and worse. Some time ago, the Golden State Warriors used him and some young players to offer Siakam to the Raptors, but the offer was rejected.
It's hard to imagine any player refusing to join the Golden State Warriors because we all know there was a time when every player seemed to want to go to the Warriors, but now it seems like every player no longer wants to go to the Warriors. The Golden State Warriors seem to be a free agent graveyard ever since Draymond Green hit Jordan Poole, and they don't want to go to Golden State and get punched by Draymond Green.
