The Golden State Warriors are going through a transition period with the team losing star guard Klay Thompson in NBA free agency after he decided to sign with the Dallas Mavericks to join forces with Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving in Texas. Once Thompson officially decided to leave the team that drafted him, the consensus seemed to be that the championship window for the iconic Warriors, led by superstar Stephen Curry, had officially closed, especially with teams in the Western Conference only getting better and better. Although the Warriors lost one of their key players to their four championships in this Curry era, Golden State might be able to pull off a blockbuster trade that would immediately put this team back in the title contender
Conversation in the West. Despite recent reports that Lauri Markkanen and the Utah Jazz may move him before next season, Zach Lowe of ESPN claims that Golden State is “still in the mix” to acquire the talented forward, according to GSW Ball Report.
“I think the Warriors are still in the mix for a Lauri Markkanen trade,” Lowe stated on Wednesday. Along with the Warriors, who are still thought to be interested in trading for Markkanen, the San Antonio Spurs have also been linked to the Jazz star.
This will almost definitely come down to which side is ready to give up the most for Markkanen, who is regarded as a game changer and will command a hefty trade deal.
