The struggling Golden State Warriors may leave no stone unturned at the trade deadline as they try to determine what direction to take with the franchise.
In an appearance on FanDuel TV’s “Run It Back,” Shams Charania of The Athletic suggested that the Warriors would listen to offers for anyone except Stephen Curry. Charania did note that certain players are far less likely to be dealt than others, but the door would not be totally shut on anyone outside of the franchise icon.

“The mindset in Golden State right now is everyone but Steph Curry is on the table,” Charania said. “Realistically, there’s an asterisk. Klay Thompson, would they want to keep him long term? That’s been their hope. They have not been able to reach a contract extension with him. Draymond Green just got back from a (suspension). Those have been their three core guys. They’re big fans of Jonathan Kuminga, big fans of Brandin Podziemski, they’re big fans of Trayce Jackson-Davis. But (Andrew) Wiggins and everyone else on that roster except Steph Curry has to be in play for this team.”
As the season has progressed, it has become more and more clear that the Warriors may need to do something drastic. They are 17-20 and have been booed by their home fans in a pair of recent blowouts.
Wiggins seems the most likely player to be moved, but amid a poor season, one has to wonder what his trade value looks like. That lack of value may be the biggest problem Golden State runs into.
