Warriors have plenty of options, but are any of them good ones?

Hey Alch! Tell me what you think of this deal: Los Angeles Lakers receive: Chris Paul, 2024 second-round pick (via Warriors) Golden State Warriors receive: Jonathan Isaac, Anthony Black Orlando Magic receive: D’Angelo Russell, Gabe Vincent, 2026 Lottery Protected first-round pick (via Warriors)

Hey alch im getting kevin love 2.0 (going from Wolves to the Cavs) vibes from Lori. Am i on base? Like you said the numbers look good next to nobodies but not sure how well it transfers in the bright lights of the dubs org.

Hey Alc, I put on my buckskin-tasseled Kyrie moccasins and caught visions in the sweat lodge...lol nah but imagine a perfect storm where a disgruntled Embiid asks for a trade this summer. Would there be a better option for him than the Warriors? He can still be the 1a guy w/o the typical 1a pressure since it's Steph's team. Dubs get their dominant big and Philly gets a bunch of young pieces for Morey to play with. Probably a pipe dream but fun to imagine.

So are Ayton or Capella still options in terms of bigs? My thinking is we don't need to get a stretch big necessarily, just one that is a real scoring threat. There was a time I would have been a "hell no" on Ayton but I've come around to thinking it might work. As for Podz or TJD, I really would like to see us keep both of them. I'm in favor of letting GP2 and Loon go.

makes sense.. so Podz over Trayce?

as tempting as it would be, I could see JK eating us alive for the next 10 years in purple and orange and I think thats what it take

I'd give up TJD or Moody, and in terms of trades, for me it's simple: old star(like PG)<=>young guys OR picks because if u believe in them then u don't need the picks. Young star (like Lauri or Ingram)<=> young guys AND picks because when this run ends u can trade him for picks or u do what OKC did getting SGA.

I'd take any Lopez brother at this point. We are missing a monster-sized body to set picks for Curry/Klay. Separate q: If Durant is on the trading block, who do you trade for him?

I've heard more talk lately about Lavine. If you let Klay walk, you could likely get Lavine without giving up much. I'm also fine if they traded for a big wing like BI and handed the starting 2 guard job to Moody. When he put up 16 points in 15 minutes in the play in game, that to me said he was ready for more.
