Damian Lillard to the Warriors? A Fun, But Not Feasible Fit

The Golden State Warriors have to get a pulse on every available player on their radar, big or small. So when chatter grew of Damian Lillard’s possible displeasure with the Portland Trail Blazers, it’d be foolish if all 29 other NBA teams didn’t at least look into acquiring the star point guard. For some franchises there’s groundwork for a deal, and for others it’s a longshot. For Golden State, they fall into the latter scenario.

And yet they wouldn’t be doing themselves justice if they didn’t at least ponder the possibility of acquiring Damian Lillard, which was recently reported. Per The Athletic’s Anthony Slater:

Exploring a possible Warriors-Bulls trade which would bring Zach LaVine to Golden State

The Warriors are entering the off-season with a number of flexible assets, including their two lottery picks in this year’s draft, James Wiseman, Kelly Oubre Jr. in a possible sign-and-trade, and their future first round picks. They could obviously hold onto those assets and hope that what they currently have is enough. However, rumors have been swirling about possible trade targets if the Warriors decide to take some of those assets and try to add another star. Enter Zach LaVine.

How Would Ben Simmons Fit With the Warriors, and What are the Odds It Could Happen?

When you list the teams that have to hit the mark this offseason, the Golden State Warriors arguably find themselves among the list. An open-wide 2021 NBA Playoffs is proof that Golden State has the chance to make noise next season with Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and the soon-to-return Klay Thompson back in the fold. Alongside developing young talent like Jordan Poole and notable impact players like Juan Toscano-Anderson, the Warriors can absolutely be a contender in the 2021-2022 season.

To get there, they’ll need to add some extra reinforcements to the roster, and despite their cap restrictions, Bob Myers and company have valuable assets to accomplish that goal. With the seventh and fourteenth picks in the 2021 draft, with a couple players on the roster that could yield trade value, the Warriors could very well make a splash, receiving a household name in return. One name that has been floating around as of late: Ben Simmons of the Philadelphia 76ers.

Siakam Is On The List Of Draft Pick Trade Targets

Being an NBA team means you are the subject of a plethora of rumors, and oftentimes they are weak on the truth.

But this time for the Warriors, it’s different – Golden State has the No. 7 and No. 14 picks in the 2021 NBA Draft, with a blue-chip prospect in 2020 No. 2 overall pick James Wiseman also in tow as a trade piece. Suffice it to say, upcoming rumors probably have more validity than the dime-a-dozen edits of Giannis Antetokounmpo wearing blue and gold on social media.
