Why This Trade Would Benefit The Golden State Warriors
It is no secret that the Warriors great success from the three-point line during their championship years. Curry and Thompson are two of the best shooters of all time and have fed off each other on many occasions. Curry is now on his own on the perimeter and this is something they could look to add.
If the team decides to make a big move, Hield could be the name to watch. He has quickly turned into one of the best shooters in the league and is developing his game even further. This is the kind of player that could take some pressure off of Curry along the perimeter.
He has been facing double teams for most of the season. Golden State knows they will need to approve in the Western Conference if they want to make a run come playoff time.
