NBA Trade Idea Sends $149M Superstar to Golden State Warriors

The Golden State Warriors really need a shakeup. Last season, the team failed to make the NBA playoffs, and they are undoubtedly worse this season. With that in mind, numerous NBA players have planned prospective trades that may transform their teams.

Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley disclosed a bombshell trade between the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Clippers that would significantly alter the Western Conference landscape.

The Clippers acquire Andrew Wiggins, Gary Payton II, Kevon Looney, Moses Moody, a 2028 first-round selection (unprotected), a 2030 first-round pick (protected 1-3 and 21-30), and a 2029 first-round exchange.

For the Clippers, this trade gives them some much-needed draft picks, along with a combination of both veteran players and youth for Leonard. In all honesty, the trade does not look that enticing for LA, especially with the Warriors failing to give up either Jonathan Kuminga or Brandin Podziemski. One would have to imagine the team offered a similar trade for Paul George, which the Clippers already did not want.

The prospect of Kawhi Leonard joining the Golden State Warriors seems intriguing, but his health is a huge issue for the team. The Warriors already have two older players in Steph Curry and Draymond Green, so adding Kawhi Leonard merely adds another potentially injured star. The biggest issue with Kawhi on the Clippers has never been his talent, but rather his availability.
