The Warriors should be the first customers in line for a potential trade of Paul George. It would likely take some time to execute a trade, but that doesn’t mean Golden State shouldn’t try and get ahead of everybody else. The San Antonio Spurs are also worth considering as Chris Paul can provide an immediate upgrade over last year’s starting lineup on paper, something which has not yet been seen by any team this season.,
The “golden state warriors trade rumors 2021” is a rumor that has been floating around. If the Warriors are going to be able to compete with the Lakers, they will need to start sprinting in order to be the first customers in line for the Pacers’ impending yard sale.
The Golden State Warriors are already one of the top contenders for the NBA championship in 2022, but every team should be searching for ways to strengthen their squad before the trade deadline in February. All they have to do now is wait for the appropriate moment to attack.
The Indiana Pacers have arrived.
The Pacers are allegedly contemplating moving their key players to rival clubs to kick off their inescapable reconstruction after a 10-16 start to the season, and the Warriors need to be the first to call them.
After a 10-16 start, the Indiana Pacers are having a yard sale.

Since 2014, the Pacers haven’t advanced beyond the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. After four years of mediocrity under Nate McMillan, Indiana took a step back under Nate Bjorkgren past season and missed the playoffs.
The Pacers were intended to get back on track this season by replacing Bjorkgren with Rick Carlisle, but that hasn’t happened yet a fourth of the way through the season. Indiana is 10-16 after 26 games and is on the outside looking in on the Eastern Conference playoff scenario.
The front staff seems to be losing trust in the team’s existing core of players, so a yard sale might be in the works in the coming weeks. The Pacers are warming up to the notion of dealing their finest players as they head toward a “major rebuild,” according to Shams Charania and Bob Kravitz of The Athletic.
According to the article, “several sources claimed the Pacers are interested in trade discussions with rival clubs focusing on possibly dealing guard Caris LeVert and either two-time All-Star Domantas Sabonis or big Myles Turner.”
Bob Myers’ ears should be ringing with delight.
In order to bid on Myles Turner, the Warriors must be first in line.
The Pacers have been waiting patiently to see how this squad looks when it is generally healthy (with the exception of T.J. Warren and, more recently, T.J. McConnell). They don’t like what they’ve seen, to be sure. Significant changes are on the horizon. Finally.

Right now, it’s difficult to pinpoint a single flaw on the Warriors’ resurgent roster. After all, they have the best record in the NBA (20-4), the top defensive rating (100.4), and Stephen Curry seems to be the MVP favorite a quarter of the way through the season.
The center position, on the other hand, is one of the team’s weak spots.
Kevon Looney is a capable starting center for the Warriors, but he has never been able to open the floor on offense to provide them with another outside shooting option, and he is a below-average rim protector on defense.
Turner would take this starting lineup from exceptional to unbeatable, and Golden State may be able to acquire him right now at a bargain.
Turner would reaffirm the Warriors’ status as NBA champion favorites.

If the Warriors are serious about contending for a championship this season (and they should be), the center position should be their first concern. Consider how dangerous this team could be if they had a big man who could stretch the floor and hit threes while also snatching offensive rebounds and closing down the paint on the other end.
Does this ring a bell for anybody in particular?
Turner is enjoying his greatest season as a professional. The 25-year-old is shooting 52.6 percent from the field and 39.5 percent from three, and he has 2.8 blocked shots per game, which is the most in the league. He would not only provide Golden State with yet another offensive shooting option, but he would also elevate the NBA’s greatest defense to new heights.
Even going back to their championship teams a couple years ago, the Warriors haven’t had a center this good on both sides of the court. They should do all they can to get Turner on board before the February deadline.
