In the 2022-23 NBA season, the Golden State Warriors haven’t been at their best. The Warriors have lacked consistency when it comes to playing on the road, and it has cost them dearly so far this season. So much so that the Dubs have an underwhelming record of 2-13 on the road.
Speaking of the Warriors’ performance, things can’t get any worse for the organization as of now. In their last five games, the Warriors have managed to win just one game. As a result, the Warriors have fallen below the .500 record and currently hold the 10th seed in the Western Conference.
Keeping that in mind, it’s high time for the Stephen Curry-led Golden State Warriors to think about making some trades before the NBA trade deadline to rattle things up.
The Golden State Warriors Will Use Their Talented Youth To Make The Most Of The Trade Deadline
After losing the 2019 NBA Finals, the Golden State Warriors had two back-to-back poor seasons. While, at the time, it made the Warriors look like one of the worst teams in the NBA, in the longer run, it may have actually helped the organization. They have several young and talented stars who could one day lead the team to glory.
But as things stand right now, the young prospects still need time to develop. It’s no surprise that the Warriors decided to send James Wiseman to the G-League for an extended period of time.
Anyway, speaking of the Warriors’ plan for the NBA trade deadline. Eric Pincus mentioned the strategy that the Dubs will most likely use to make the most of it.
Via Bleacher Report:
The Warriors have been delicately attempting to thread the needle, developing the next generation of stars while still winning championships. They have the 2022 title, but prospects like James Wiseman, Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody haven’t necessarily arrived yet as consistent rotation players.
The team may stay the course and let them grow into roles, but if the Warriors feel they need actual ready-to-win value to replace players they lost in free agency (Gary Payton II, Otto Porter Jr., etc.), that may come at the expense of their youth movement.
Rebuilding franchises would undoubtedly have interest, which could lead to multi-team deals. It may be the surefire way for Golden State to stay on top, although it may sacrifice its future.
As Pincus mentioned in his report, the Warriors have two options right now. They can either wait for the young prospects to develop into legitimate star players, or they can simply use them to get good players to enter a win-now mode and try to lift another NBA Championship.
