The Warriors hold the 19th overall pick. They are, according to multiple league sources, listening to offers not only regarding the draft but also potential trades that might or might not involve the draft.
“First and foremost, you got to distinguish between acquiring talent and building a team,” general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. said this week. “For us, the team thing is huge. How do these players work, interact together?
Among those in the draft with at least two years of college experience is guard Jordan Hawkins of UConn and forward Kris Murray of Iowa, the twin brother of Sacramento’s Keegan Murray. Hawkins, 21, spent two seasons with the Huskies and was the top player on the national championship team. Murray, 22, spent three seasons with the Hawkeyes. As a four-year collegian, UCLA forward Jaime Jaquez, known for his high hoops IQ, also fits the profile.
This option is less than ideal for a team in win-now mode. But it can if the Warriors nail the pick, as the Kings did with Keegan Murray and the Nuggets with Christian Braun.The Warriors can’t trade the pick outright because of a move made four years ago, packaging their 2024 first-round pick with Andre Iguodala in a trade with Memphis. The NBA’s “Stepien Rule,” named for former Cavaliers owner Ted Stepien, forbids teams from being without a first-round pick in consecutive drafts.
This specific option is unlikely because, as is, it would require some serious sorcery to obtain a veteran of significant value.The drafted player can be packaged with someone currently on the roster. Golden State’s ears are open regarding most players not named Stephen Curry. Jordan Poole and Kuminga are most frequently mentioned in potential trade packages.
