1 ‘Realistic’ Dream Trade Target for Every NBA Team

Golden State Warriors
Status: About $534,000 below the first apron ($14.6 million tax)
Potentially available: Andrew Wiggins, De’Anthony Melton, Kevon Looney, Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody, Gay Payton II, Draymond Green

The Warriors broke up the Splash Brothers, sending Klay Thompson via sign-and-trade to the Dallas Mavericks. It’s a sign that anyone can be moved, though it’s highly unlikely the team will part ways with Stephen Curry. Extension negotiations will determine if the team sticks with Kuminga and Moody long term.

If the Warriors aren’t willing to pay Kuminga and Moody, perhaps they can relocate them to the Washington Wizards for Kyle Kuzma. Golden State would need to include others like Kevon Looney and Gary Payton II, and roster space would be an issue for the Wizards taking in that many players, but it’s workable with some creativity. Kuzma has $3.1 million of unlikely incentives, but the Warriors can stay below the first apron this year (and next) in adding the one-time NBA champion.
