The Golden State Warriors reportedly were deep in conversations on a deal that would have landed them two players having All-Star caliber seasons, but backed out late in discussions.
This will be an interesting next few days for the Warriors. They head into their game on Wednesday against the Utah Jazz with a 25-24 record. And if the season ended today, the NBA’s most recent dynasty team would be on the outside of the playoff picture.
It has been a very disappointing season so far for a team that has had many of its key players healthy for much of the year. It is why Golden State has been linked to NBA trade rumors for weeks. However, the franchise already has a bloated payroll, so they can’t be cavalier about adding more expensive contracts if they don’t believe the talent they acquire will make a big enough impact.
A new report this week revealed that the team was actually working on a deal that would have certainly made them a better team this season. However, they chose to pivot to different opportunities in the trade market.
