This season didn’t go as expected for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a>. Steve Kerr’s team didn’t have the rythm and consistency that led them to an <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a> championship a year ago, failing to capitalize on <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a>‘s incredible level.



Steph continued to carry the team as much as he could, but it wasn’t enough to get far. The Dubs were eliminated by LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers in the Conference semifinals, so now it’s time to plan how to bounce back.



The 2023-24 season won’t start until October, but they cannot waste their time. That’s why the Warriors have already made their first significant move by announcing who will replace GM Bob Myers.



<h2>Warriors promote Mike Dunleavy Jr. to GM</h2>



The Golden State Warriors have promoted Mike Dunleavy Jr. to general manager, a position that Myers successfully occupied for 11 seasons. This is a necessary move to help Curry get the team back to glory days.



It’s safe to say Dunleavy Jr. was preparing to get this job at some point, having served as Vice President of Basketball Operations for the last two seasons. Previously, he also worked as Assistant General Manager.

Players can become stars in different ways, but very few are capable of changing the future of the sport. That is exactly what <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/steph-curry">Stephen Curry</a> has done since he was drafted by the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a>, so it’s not a surprise he receives flattering comments even from a legend of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers">Lakers</a>.



Curry has made a huge impact in the league with his unmatched shooting ability. He is regarded unanimously as the greatest shooter of all time, but he has also improved a lot in weaker areas such as his defense to become a complete player.

His performances led the Warriors to four titles, and he won two NBA MVP awards. He receives praise from most basketball experts for what he can do in basketball every day. Now, a former legend of a rival team like the Los Angeles Lakers had very kind words for him.



<h2>Jerry West praises Stephen Curry’s game</h2>



History links Jerry West to the Lakers. His past as a player and as an executive established a strong bond with that team, but he also worked for the Warriors when they were creating their dynasty. West was the latest to offer an insight of Curry in an interview with Paul George on his show “Podcast P”.



“Steph is a fantastic person. He’s a better all-around player than he gets credit for. At one time, I didn’t think he was a good defender. I think he’s a terrific defender now. I would damn sure like to play with him. He’ll pass the ball. But he’s got that unique skill that has changed the game a lot. Steph Curry will be here forever”, West said.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors </a>reportedly believe they can win another <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA </a>championship with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stephen Curry</a> at the helm. But they know they need to make some moves.



They just promoted Mike Dunleavy Jr. to replace Bob Myers as their General Manager, and this will give the team a sense of continuity after all the time he spent working side by side with him.



That’s why some believe they could reignite their interest in Bradley Beal, as the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-wizards" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Washington Wizards</a> are reportedly considering moving on from him. Unfortunately, he may not be interested in that.



<h2>Warriors Tried To Trade For Bradley Beal</h2>



According to Brian Windhorst of ESPN, the Warriors have already tried to land Beal, but the All-Star shooting guard snubbed them multiple times in the past, including last season:



“Before last season — now granted, they didn’t know if they had a championship team, they know now they do — they kicked the tires on Bradley Beal. [The Warriors] were like, ‘Hey, could we do a deal for Bradley Beal?’ But Beal didn’t want to go,” Windhorst said on The Dan Patrick Show.

<h2>Draymond Green Tried To Recruit Him As Well</h2>



Fred Katz of The Athletic also revealed that Draymond Green tried to do his part to recruit Beal to join them when they played together for Team USA, but to no avail:



“The Golden State Warriors appealed to him in the past, according to sources,” Katz reported. “Throughout his short stint with Team USA in 2021, Draymond Green made sure to remind him (you may be surprised, more than once) of what joining a many-times champion could do for him.”



Of course, Beal might now regret passing on that opportunity after watching the Warriors win another ring. But whether he’s changed his mind and will be willing to join them now, remains to be seen.

The expectations are huge for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a> every season. They built a dynasty that won four titles in eight years with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a> being the unquestioned leader of their success. Now, he is the only confirmed to stay in the team next season.



There are a lot of talks around the other two veteran stars. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/klay-thompson">Klay Thompson</a> has not been at the same level since returning from injuries, and his decreased level has affected the team especially in the playoffs.

Another big name to follow is <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/draymond-green">Draymond Green</a>. The offseason had him as a protagonist of a bad incident where he punched <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jordan-poole">Jordan Poole</a>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/warriors-news-jordan-poole-gets-real-on-his-relationship-with-draymond-green-20230515-BUS-1272.html">something that doesn’t seem to be completely forgotten</a>. However, neither of them is the player that Golden State might be shopping.



<h2>Warriors could be shopping Jonathan Kuminga</h2>



The team has nailed their picks in the past drafting the three superstars on their roster. But there is no denying they have failed big-time with their latest selections. Those failed decisions were particularly damming because they involved top 10 picks. They already gave up on former 2nd overall pick James Wiseman, with another one potentially following that path.



Jonathan Kuminga is the player that the Warriors are interested in trading away, according to Jonathan Givony of ESPN. The report suggests the team is exploring the idea of getting a high draft pick in the 2023 NBA Draft to be in a better position that their current 19th spot. Kuminga was the 7th selection in 2021, but he was never able to reach his potential.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> couldn’t find the same success in the 2022-23 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> season. The reigning champions were inconsistent, and not even <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stephen Curry’s</a> stellar play was enough to keep them afloat.



Naturally, there have been plenty of rumors regarding the future of this organization, especially upon Bob Myers’ departure. The youngins reportedly want a bigger role, and Steve Kerr might not be willing to do that just yet.



However, as much as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/NBA-Rumors-3-potential-landing-spots-for-Jordan-Poole-20230510-0026.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jordan Poole’s</a> future has been a subject of debate in NBA circles, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports that the Warriors don’t intend to move him right now.



<h2>NBA Rumors: Warriors Aren’t Shopping Jordan Poole</h2>



“The Warriors intend to explore various avenues to restructure the roster this summer, both small and large in scope,” wrote Slater. “That could mean Poole is part of a trade if the return package appeals. But Poole is not actively being shopped, there is no edict to cut salary and his side has been given no current indication that his future will be elsewhere.



“There are other obvious internal dynamics at play,” Slater continued. “The Green preseason punch of Poole left a locker room scar that didn’t heal and might never. Maybe extra time and some offseason conversations mend it. But there has been no him-or-me ultimatum given. The Warriors are operating under the assumption that both Green and Poole can again be on the same roster and push toward the same championship goal next season without issue.”



Of course, we know how quickly things can change in this league, so nothing is set in stone right now. But at least for now, it seems like the Dubs will run it back with their four main guys in 2023.

Warriors have made a decision about Jordan Poole - Bolavip US

For years,<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/steph-curry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Stephen Curry</a> has established himself as one of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA’s</a> most likable and relatable stars. His success with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> is only topped by his charisma and money-making skills off it.



Even though he’s usually an easy-going guy, there’s still one little thing that makes Stephen Curry lose his temper, and Draymond Green knows exactly what it is.



In the latest episode of his podcast, Gree<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/draymond-green" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://bolavip.com/en/topic/draymond-green</a>n talked about players holding onto the last shot instead of taking it just so their averages don’t drop, citing that it’s the one thing that drives Steph nuts.



<h2>Stephen Curry Hates It When Players Don’t Take The Last Shot Before The Buzzer</h2>



“Steph Curry, he made me aware about this through the years,” Green said on his podcast. “There’s guys holding on to the ball at the end of a quarter so they don’t lessen their shooting percentage, and I saw a couple of guys do that yesterday.”



“This is the NBA playoffs, man. It’s the NBA Finals! Who cares if your shooting percentage drops a little bit? That thing drives Steph Curry nuts,” Green continued. “Steph gonna be very upset if you just holding the ball and not shoot.”



“Quite frankly, Steph is the best shooter we’ve ever seen,” Green added. “The greatest shooter we’ve ever seen. So his numbers are going to even out anyway, and he’s going to get the attempts to even out. When you don’t quite get the attempts, it’s a tough thing.”

Green has been a huge piece for the Warriors for a long time. Very few players know <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/steph-curry">Steph Curry</a> as well as he does, so any hint he offers about him is interesting. Now he told a specific part of the game that makes Curry angry about his teammates.



<h2>Draymond Green shares what makes Steph Curry mad</h2>



Curry is the best shooter in the history of the league. The GOAT conversation usually creates a lot of debate, but that doesn’t happen around the 3-point shooters because he is the unanimous choice. He can make shots from everywhere, an ability that very few have. A particular aspect of last-second attempts from teammates is the point that Green highlighted.



“Steph Curry made me aware of this through the years. Guys holding on to the ball at the end of a quarter so they don’t lessen their shooting percentage. I saw a couple of guys doing that yesterday. This is the NBA playoffs, the NBA Finals. Who cares if your shooting percentage drops a little bit? That very thing drives Steph nuts. He’s gonna be very upset if you are just holding the ball and not shooting”, Green said.



He also went on to explain how that helped them win games in the past. “Steph is the greatest shooter we’ve ever seen so his numbers are gonna even out anyway. Jordan Poole actually helped us win the NBA championship by hitting two shots last year before the buzzer. Those shots were so important because one of them gave us the lead going to the fourth quarter. If you are going tied or with the lead into the fourth quarter, you are feeling good”, he added.

Draymond Green reveals something that Steph Curry hates from teammates - Bolavip US

Nothing went according to plan for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a> in the 2022-23 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a> season. Steve Kerr‘s team entered the year as the reigning champion, but it ended up losing to LeBron James’ Lakers in the Conference semifinals.



But the playoff elimination wasn’t the Dubs’ biggest problem. The team already had a tough situation to deal with in the preseason, when <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/draymond-green">Draymond Green</a> punched <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jordan-poole">Jordan Poole</a>.



Eventually, the Warriors would struggle to get things going in the regular season, and only a few players rose to the occasion in the playoffs. Besides, Poole and other youngsters complained about their lack of playing time, something that took a toll on the team, according to Kerr.



<h2>Steve Kerr suggests Poole shouldn’t have complained about his playing time</h2>



“The huge three in the fourth quarter, and it’s like none of the guys on the Miami are sitting there saying, ‘I didn’t play, or they didn’t put in so and so… they’re all about winning,‘” Kerr said on the Draymond Green Show. 



“And you know this from our groups when you have that championship mentality… every guy is bought in, every guy is trying to win, nobody cares about any of that stuff, don’t go into the locker room saying, ‘we should have played more.’ It’s just about wanting to win.“



This offseason looks intriguing for the Warriors, who have already suffered the departure of Bob Myers. “It’s a collaboration and Bob [Myers] is a huge part of the collaboration. He and I have been partners in this thing for nine years. He hired me. He was here before I was. I don’t know what it’s going to be like without him. There’s already a really hollow feeling just knowing he’s not going to be in the building every day,” the coach said about the Warriors former GM. 



There’s still a long way to go before next season starts, but the Dubs are definitely a team to watch in the offseason.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> are facing the end of a dynasty. They ruled the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> for a decade, but Bob Myers’ departure could be the beginning of the end, especially if <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/draymond-green" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Draymond Green</a> also decides to walk out.



The team reportedly still has faith in this championship core, and they believe they can make another run at a title with Stephen Curry as the centerpiece of their project.

<h2>NBA Rumors: Warriors Could Trade Jordan Poole For OG Anunoby</h2>



With that in mind, Greg Swartz of Bleacher Report believes the Warriors and Toronto Raptors could help each other out. In this scenario, the Raptors get Jordan Poole, Ryan Rollins, and the 23rd pick in this draft, while the Dubs get OG Anunoby and Thaddeus Young.



“The Warriors could be nearing the end of their dynasty, although a trade for another two-way wing would help prop the championship window open a little longer,” wrote Swartz.



“Anunoby is perhaps the best wing defender in the NBA, joining a frontcourt with Andrew Wiggins and Draymond Green that would get this defense back to an elite level,” the report added. “The Raptors may find themselves with a major need at guard this summer with both Fred VanVleet and Gary Trent Jr. likely becoming free agents.”



Of course, this is just a proposal, and there’s no indication of an actual deal taking place, but one could argue that this move makes perfect sense for every party involved.



Jordan Poole needs a fresh start, the Raptors need another lead guard, and the Warriors need someone who can improve their defense and actually wants to be coached.

For years, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stephen Curry</a>, Klay Thompson, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/draymond-green" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Draymond Green</a>, and even Steve Kerr have gotten most of the credit for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors’ </a>success, and rightfully so.



However, Bob Myers has been as impactful as the others behind closed doors. He’s been the architect behind the dynasty, and the one who managed to keep it all together for years.



That’s why it was such a bummer for the players and the fans to see him leave. And why he felt the need to explain why he was walking away after four<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> NBA </a>championships with the team.



<h2>Bob Myers Explains Why He Left The Golden State Warriors</h2>



“I have too many different emotions that I’m still processing,” Myers said. “But the bottom line is that this job the one I’m in, requires complete engagement and complete effort. If you can’t do it, then you shouldn’t do it and so that’s the answer.”



“I can’t do that to our players, I can’t do that to Joe,” continued Myers. “I really can’t do it to myself and that’s a question I’ve been wrestling with. I’ve only known how to do things one way my whole life and it doesn’t feel right to do something when I can’t give it my everything.”



“This wasn’t about money. I’ve made plenty of money. I got offered plenty of money,” Myers said.&nbsp;“The bottom line is this job requires complete engagement and complete effort, 1,000 percent. If you can’t do it, then you shouldn’t do it. That’s the answer to the question of why. I can’t do that to our players. I can’t do that to Joe [Lacob].”

It’s just a matter of time before Myers gets plenty of attention from rival teams, but it’s unclear if he’ll take some time off before jumping the gun and joining one of the Warriors’ rivals. Whatever the case, he, too, should have a statue outside of Chase Center.

Their loss to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers">Los Angeles Lakers</a> in the Conference semifinals could mean that big changes are coming for them.

However, someone else has already left the franchise.



The season didn’t end how the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a> expected. They are still the defending NBA champions after defeating the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-celtics">Boston Celtics</a> in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba-finals">NBA Finals</a> last year, although they weren’t able to repeat the title.

There are a ton of people involved in creating a dynasty like the one the Warriors had for almost a decade led by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Steph Curry</a> on the court. A person behind all that success was undoubtedly Bob Myers, who confirmed he is stepping down as the general manager.



<h2>Why did Bob Myers leave the Warriors?</h2>



His continuity in Golden State was subject to speculation the whole month. The odds for him staying for another stint seemed unlikely, but it wasn’t until Tuesday when he confirmed that he was stepping down as President of Basketball Operations and General Manager after four titles with the team.



Myers is leaving the Warriors because he doesn’t think he can continue to do it at 100%. There were some rumors that aimed at his contract set to expire in June being an important reason. Other potential explanation was a difference in the approach with the top of the organization, although he mentioned something else as the reason for his exit.



He decided to go a different direction in his recent press conference. “I’ve only known how to do things one way my whole life. It doesn’t feel right to do something when I can’t give it everything. And that’s what it takes to do what we’ve done over the last, for me, 12 years”, Myers said as to why he left the Warriors despite recently winning another title.

Golden State Warriors lose a key piece of their dynasty - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a> took many steps back this season. Only a year ago, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a> and company were celebrating another <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a> championship. This time, they’re heading into the offseason with many question marks.



While they have decisions to make on the future of young players who failed to perform in the postseason, the Dubs also have to keep an eye on the potential departure of pivotal members of their last championship runs.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/draymond-green">Draymond Green</a> becomes a free agent in 2024, which is why he’ll be a player to watch in the next few months. But the Warriors could lose a key member of the organization who doesn’t take the court.



<h2>Rumor: Bob Myers set to leave Warriors</h2>



(Via Sports Illustrated)



“It’s believed that Myers doesn’t want to sit down at an interview podium until his decision about staying with the Warriors or walking away from his post is both made and ready to be shared with the public,” Stein wrote via his Substack. “We could have clarity as early as Tuesday or Wednesday, since Myers is expected to convene soon with Bay Area reporters who regularly cover the team. 



“My prediction as of the weekend: I think this is it. I sense Myers is poised to walk away from the lucrative offer Warriors owner Joe Lacob has put on the table. As we’ve covered in multiple recent pieces: Myers wouldn’t be exiting over money. It’s because he wants a break.”



Bob Myers has been instrumental in the Warriors’ return to glory days in the last decade. He was the brain behind the competitive rosters Golden State has had year after year, so his exit would definitely mark the end of an era. Even if the Dubs still find ways to succeed, it won’t be the same without Myers as GM.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba-finals">NBA Finals</a> are going to have a team much better rested than the other. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/have-the-denver-nuggets-ever-been-to-the-nba-finals-20230521-BUS-2811.html">Denver Nuggets</a> are already waiting there after sweeping the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers">Los Angeles Lakers</a> with four consecutive wins. That appeared to be the end in the Eastern Conference as well, but everything changed.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-heat">Miami Heat</a> started winning the first three games. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/record-of-nba-teams-down-3-0-in-the-playoffs-how-many-of-them-forced-a-game-7-20230522-BUS-3139.html">This advantage has never been wasted</a> in the history of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba">NBA</a>, so they seemed poised to face the Nuggets in the last series of the year.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-celtics">Boston Celtics</a> emerged to avoid elimination two times.

<h2>Draymond Green gets real on Boston coming back vs Miami</h2>



Green has always shared his opinion on numerous topics. However, he has been doing it more often since he started his own podcast. This time the multiple champion with the Warriors picked his favorite to win the series citing a personal reason.



“Can they close the deal? I don’t know, man. That’s an interesting one. The first team to come back from a 3-0 deficit. We would love to see it, wouldn’t we? Maybe I won’t have to hear about 3-1 anymore if this team comes back from 3-0. Like, you can throw the 3-1 in the dirt. I’m sick of it. Would be a much better story. For me personally, it would be a much better story”, the player said on “The Draymond Green Show”.



This is a reference of course to what happened in the 2015-2016 NBA Finals. Golden State had a 3-1 lead over the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james">LeBron James</a>-led Cleveland Cavaliers that put them near their second consecutive title. However, the Cavaliers returned to win the series 4-3. Although it wouldn’t erase that dramatic ending, Green could catch a break for a bit if the Celtics were to come back.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors </a>entered the season as the reigning <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA </a>champions. But even though<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Stephen Curry </a>was once again at his best, that just wasn’t enough to get the job done.



The Western Conference is stacked, and the Warriors are no longer the best team in town. They need to assess their roster and start making some tough decisions ahead of next season.



So, now that they’re reportedly considering moving on from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/NBA-Rumors-3-potential-landing-spots-for-Jordan-Poole-20230510-0026.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jordan Poole</a> and other players, we take a look at three players they should target in free agency and/or the trade market.



<h2>NBA Rumors: 3 Targets For The Warriors</h2>



<h3>3. Justise Winslow</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/05/28121614/justise-winslow-1024x572-1024x572.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-3825" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Justise Winslow – Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



Justise Winslow never turned out to be the two-way stud some thought he could be, but the Warriors have found plenty of success by bringing careers back from the ground.



Winslow will be a free agent and struggled to stay healthy with the Portland Trail Blazers. But he could give them another versatile defender and athletic wing at a massive discount, allowing them to trade Jonathan Kuminga for a star.



<h3>2. Dorian Finney-Smith</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/05/28121615/dorian-finney-smith-1024x572-1024x572.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-3824" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Dorian Finney-Smith – Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



Likewise, the Warriors could turn to the Brooklyn Nets to add another versatile wing defender. They may not want to keep him as they pursue a bigger name or younger players, so he could be a part of a trade package to the Bay area.



Dorian Finney-Smith is one of the most underrated defenders in the league. The Warriors could lose Donte DiVincenzo, who’s got a player option for next season, so he’s a name to keep an eye on.



<h3>1. OG Anunoby</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/05/28121616/og-anunoby-1024x572-1024x572.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-3823" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>OG Anunoby – Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



Obviously, landing OG Anunoby would be the biggest win the Dubs could even dream of in the offseason. He fits their timeline as a win-now player and could also be their franchise player once their championship core is gone.



Anunoby is one of the best defenders in the league and a high-IQ player who’s slowly turning into an offensive force as well. His athleticism and brains make him a seamless fit for this roster.

NBA Rumors: 3 potential targets for the Golden State Warriors - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors </a>didn’t hesitate to sign <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/NBA-Rumors-3-potential-landing-spots-for-Jordan-Poole-20230510-0026.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jordan Poole</a> to a huge contract extension. He played a big role in their <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> championship win and looked like a star in the making.



But there have been plenty of rumors about his continuity with the team, and not because of how bad he played in the postseason but because of his careless attitude and snubbing the team’s veterans and coaches.



With that in mind, Grant Hughes of Bleacher Report believes the Warriors could benefit from trading him and Jonathan Kuminga to the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-raptors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Toronto Raptors </a>in return for OG Anunoby.



<h2>NBA Rumors: Warriors Could Trade Jordan Poole To The Toronto Raptors</h2>



(Transcript via Grant Hughes – Bleacher Report)



“Whether it was the preseason punch, a zillion early-season palming violations, the league figuring him out or general dissatisfaction with his role, Jordan Poole played like a guy who had a foot out the door all season.



His failure to fill a critical playoff niche as the Golden State Warriors’ main shot-creator behind Stephen Curry sealed the deal. The Warriors need depth, someone who’ll play within their system and financial relief, and the best way to get some of those things is to trade Poole, who’ll probably be better off running his own show without a teammate that tried to knock him out.”



Of course, this is a hypothetical move, but one that could make sense for both parties. The Raptors get two young players to build around and pair with Scottie Barnes, and one that’s already locked with a long-term deal.



As for the Warriors, they get a guy who’s way more coachable, and perhaps a better fit for their current project, even if he comes at a steep price and they have to give up two valuable youngins to get him.
