With the draft now just a few days away, the Warriors are making their final preparations before going into one of the most pivotal points of the offseason. Having both the #7 and #14 picks gives the Warriors plenty of options, and just like a year ago, they can either trade the pick for immediate help or keep the picks and draft players that they hope will contribute both right away and for years down the line.
Read MoreThere have been lots of rumors circulating the NBA that the Warriors’ front office is looking to trade their two lottery picks for a “star” player. While this might be true, it also might not be, especially with Marc Stein’s report this morning that a pre-draft trade is unlikely and a “step too soon.”

Read MoreSteve Kerr and the Warriors front office made a big splash yesterday, acquiring Kenny Atkinson as the team’s new lead assistant coach.
Atkinson spent last year as an assistant coach for the Los Angeles Clippers, and he spent 2016-2020 as the head coach for the Brooklyn Nets, before being replaced by Steve Nash in the 2020-2021 season.
