The Warriors possess numerous assets they could potentially trade, including draft picks, experienced players and young talents. Should they opt to shake up their roster, they have the means to actively participate in the trade market.
Zach Buckley of Bleacher Report presents a trade scenario that offers potential benefits to both the Warriors and the Bucks
Buckley proposes a trade where:
Gary Payton II, Moses Moody, the 52nd pick in the 2024 draft, and a 2026 second-round pick would head to the Milwaukee . In return, the Warriors would acquire Bobby Portis and Andre Jackson Jr.
“This really only works if there are big Moody fans in Milwaukee’s front office. But as a player constantly cited by outside observers as someone deserving of more minutes than he gets in Golden State, perhaps those fans are present. If nothing else, he has the shooting touch to play alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo, which isn’t the case for Jackson.” Buckley wrote.
Losing Moody would be challenging for the Warriors, but his prospects for significant playing time appear uncertain. Swapping him for Portis, who brings toughness, defensive prowess, and outside shooting, alongside Jackson Jr., a promising defensive specialist, could provide balance to the Warriors’ rotation.
Portis boasted impressive stats for the Bucks this season, playing in all 82 regular-season games and averaging 13.8 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 1.3 assists. He also shot 50.8% from the field and 40.7% from beyond the arc, adding valuable championship experience to the Warriors’ roster.
