The Golden State Warriors have been mentioned as a potential blockbuster trade candidate throughout the offseason. Any NBA All-Star level player that had their name brought up in trade rumors, the Warriors were attached to.

When there were rumors that Damian Lillard and Bradley Beal could request trades from the Portland Trail Blazers and Washington Wizards, the Warriors were mentioned as a possible landing spot.

The same goes for Ben Simmons, whose preference is to go to one of the California teams in a trade from the Philadelphia 76ers.

Golden State had the pieces to complete a trade of that magnitude. Andrew Wiggins was the centerpiece of most hypothetical trades with his contract matching up well. James Wiseman, the No. 2 overall pick from the 2020 NBA Draft, could reportedly be had as well as he didn’t fit the team’s timeline.

Another All-Star player that has been mentioned with Golden State is Pascal Siakam of the Toronto Raptors. He reportedly doesn’t want to leave Toronto and the organization likes him, but if they embark on a rebuild, he would net them a lot of assets in return.
