Detroit Pistons Receive: Wayne Ellington
Golden State Warriors Receive: Jordan Poole, Alen Smailagic, 2022 2nd Round Pick (via TOR)
Wayne Ellington would be the lone piece going to the Golden State Warriors. He would give the team some ability from deep and not cost too much in a trade. Not having to sacrifice too much compensation in a potential deal is important for a team that needs to preserve its assets.
The Warriors are a team that has won from beyond the arc in the past and that is something they need to get back soon. With Klay Thompson sidelined, they could use some more reliable options in this area.
