Telling you guys. This is what we need. Disgruntled stars on other teams. Not saying KAT is the best player in the world, but could you imagine Curry, Klay, Dray and KAT? Thats another 3-4 years of title contention.

He's under contract tho. A trade would cost a lot and idk if we have the pieces for it

Disgruntled players under contract get traded all the time. All I am saying is that if a player demands a trade, DLo and a boatload of picks is better than any other team can offer IMO.

Very true, number 1 overall pick along with D-Lo, and other players or picks is enough to land a star in KAT or Beal, I see Beal being the next star available too

Aren't basketball top draft picks much lower bust risks than you'd see in other sports? Just curious (casual observer here) as to why GSW would wanna trade a top pick away when they could take the next great star instead?

Top picks don't turn into superstars all the time. This draft doesn't have a "superstar" prospect off the bat and per some reports isn't as strong as previous drafts.

Gotcha. Of all sports, I follow and know basketball the least, so I can't say I know much about any prospects or players around the league except the well-known names.

Detroit is in trade talks involving Drummond - who would do a DLo for Drummond swap?

There is no chance that Detroit would swap Drummond for Russell straight up in my opinion. But the Warriors would be all over that in a heartbeat.

Draymond for Simmons straight up. Draymond is turrible on offense and his defense is average at best.
