Golden State Warriors

The Move: A cap-clearing trade, likely to include Zaza Pachulia or JaVale McGee 

The Golden State Warriors, barring a major injury, will likely represent the Western Conference in the NBA Finals. And their roster is arguably the best constituted in the history of the league, so it’s quite difficult to find a deal out there that would make them significantly better.

Golden State’s top 8 or 9 are locked in. They have their rotation set as the playoffs loom. Without messing with this team’s chemistry, there isn’t a big move out there to be had for the Warriors. And that’s perfectly fine.

The Warriors just need to get to the playoffs healthy.

Although, if Golden State does make a trade at the trade deadline, watch JaVale McGee or Zaza Pachulia. They could be moved.
