Golden State Warriors

Depending on how their playoff run ends, the Golden State Warriors are a team that could undergo some pretty big changes during the offseason. They continue to say all the right things but there’s at least a non-zero chance that the Warriors end up moving on from Draymond Green during the offseason. And if that ends up being the case, they could have a need in the frontcourt.

One way they could help prevent that from happening is by taking a chance on a low-risk, high-ceiling player such as Jonathan Isaac. If the Warriors wanted, they could decide to trade away one or two of their young players in order to make room for Isaac. And if there’s one thing we know about this team’s ownership, it’s that they don’t shy away from shelling out money for a winning team.

While it still would be surprising if the Warriors ended up moving on from Draymond, Isaac could be an intriguing replacement. There would be concerns about his durability, but could you imagine Isaac playing with this team’s talented core? It would be downright unfair, with the raw talent that Isaac carries.
