Warriors predicted to trade Draymond Green for ex-No. 1 pick, 2x All-Star to pair with Steph Curry
The Golden State Warriors know they need to make a massive move if they want to have a serious shot at making it to the Finals. In this proposed trade, they get a former first overall pick to put alongside Steph Curry, but also say goodbye to Draymond Green.
Golden State Warriors are reportedly planning to trade Draymond Green for Zion Williamson, a former No. 1 overall draft pick and two-time All-Star. The move would see the Warriors acquire Green, Kristaps Porziņģis, and a top-four-protected 2027 first-round pick from the New Orleans Pelicans. In return, they would send Green, Kristaps Porziņģis, and a top-four-protected 2027 first-round pick to New Orleans.
While trading one health risk for another may not be ideal, Williamson's potential talent upgrade could make the deal worthwhile for Golden State. The Warriors are reportedly done with Porziņģis' locker after he made his major career decision.
