Warriors Eye Draymond Trade For Giannis Or LeBron

Golden State is prepping for another big offseason after pursuing Kawhi Leonard and Giannis Antetokounmpo at the February deadline. ESPN says GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. and owner Joe Lacob are "expected to again explore large-scale moves ... which would put nearly everything on the table." That could include moving Draymond Green, though sources expect he may pick up his 2026-27 option or sign an extension. Merlin sees a franchise at a crossroads. With Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler signed for one more year and injuries still fresh, the Warriors could trade draft capital or a core piece to chase one more title run. Slater noted Green weighed "a reroute to the Los Angeles teams" and Stein called the Leonard push a "determined trade run," so whispers will grow louder all summer.
