Serious Contenders, the Warriors remain far from the trade rumors for the moment. However, this could quickly change, since one of their recent targets has openly declared that she would see herself playing on the side of Golden State!
Given their results, and the overall structure of their workforce, they are not the ones who should be positioned as the main drivers of the transfer market in the coming days. Well placed in the Western Conference (2nd, 39-13), the Warriors do not seem to be active as the trade deadline approaches. In his preview dedicated to Dubs, Zach Buckley of Bleacher Report moreover announces itself to expect a dead calm.
Nevertheless, even if the Golden State roster does not necessarily show big gaps in certain positions, the leaders of the franchise will remain attentive to possible deals available in the league. With the interesting and promising profiles of Jordan Poole, James Wiseman and Jonathan Kuminga, some deals could indeed be concluded to attract beautiful people, and in particular some recruits envisaged recently.
Ricky Rubio goes cash with the Warriors
Very seriously tracked during the last off-season by GS, Ricky Rubio confessed that he did not like to find himself in such rumors during an interview with the Spanish media AS.
Every time the trade deadline gets closer, the rumors start, and I’m not spared even being hurt. It’s a bit stressful, my family suffers. It’s not really nice trying to live your normal life with the gossip around you.
Worried about the daily life of her son, Liam, which could also push him to retire, the leader of the Cavaliers would however make an exception for the Warriors according to his own words!
Among the rumor mills, he’s been linked to the Golden State Warriors: “It would be nice to play with Curry and Klay Thompson,” he added.
On paper, combining Rubio’s qualities as a passer with the shooting talents of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson or Andrew Wiggins has indeed something to dream about. Anyway, this meeting on the floor of the Chase Center will remain impossible this season, given the injury of the veteran of the Cavs. On the other hand, given the level displayed by the latter in the jersey of Cleveland, it could wreak havoc next year!
Ricky Rubio says it without shame: he would like to evolve alongside Steph Curry and Klay Thompson one day. The CV is sent, now it remains for the Dubs to find the right package to recover the Spaniard in the months to come!
