The Warriors are all over the place, literally.
The head coach leading the team into the waning years of their core’s prime is in Tokyo. With Steve Kerr at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics is Draymond Green, who along with Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson has reportedly lobbied Golden State’s front office to use the No. 7 and 14 picks for next Thursday’s draft in a trade to acquire a proven NBA contributor.
