ESPN’s proposed trade for the Golden State Warriors

In this ESPN-proposed trade, the Warriors would have to move two of their young players – James Wiseman and Moses Moody – but they would get three ready-to-play rotational pieces that would help address some of the biggest concerns that the team has heading into the stretch run.

The Warriors would get two starting-caliber wings/bigs in P.J. Washington and Jalen McDaniels. Both players are having career years and are finding their strides as pros. Washington is averaging 15 points and five rebounds on 44 percent shooting from the field. McDaniels is averaging 11 points and five rebounds on 46 percent shooting from the field.

Then you have Mason Plumlee who would answer the questions at the backup center position. The Warriors would add shooting and size ahead of the stretch run and would be in a great place to possibly repeat as champions.
