According to a report on January 31, Shams, a well-known journalist, talked about the Warriors' trade dynamics on the show. He got straight to the point and said that the Warriors only have one non-sale, and obviously everyone knows who this non-sale is, and that is Curry, the first person in the history of the Warriors.
Although Curry has been in a downward spiral for a long time this season, with a slump of 25 points on 25-of-25 shooting and a record interruption on 0-of-8 three-point shooting, he has rebounded against the Lakers and 76ers. In addition, although Curry did not make the All-Star starter, the jersey sales were the first in the league in stages, and he was the guarantee of the box office, and the Warriors obviously would not give up Curry.
But the Warriors have to change, so they're looking for a trade. The Warriors don't have many players on the shelf, and most of them are worthless. And because Thompson and Green are veterans and are protected by Curry, it is difficult for Warriors management to trade them.
However, Shams said Thompson could also be traded. Shams began by giving two young players that the Warriors look for, Kuminga and Podzemski, who they see as building elements of the team. The Warriors will put Wiggins and Paul on the shelf, and Thompson can negotiate if anyone wants to. The Warriors are the three All-Stars who are willing to give up Thompson, Paul and Wiggins.
Shams said the Warriors have to be traded, as they don't have a 50% win percentage yet, are outside the play-in range, are 12th in the West, and are paying a very high luxury tax. Even if the Warriors defeated the 76ers on the day they were reported by Shams, it didn't change their ranking and win rate. Shams said the Warriors are a team to watch out for with the 10-day countdown to the trade deadline.
