The Golden State Warriors’ recent struggles have been well documented as the team has skidded to six losses in its past eight games. Now, after a brutal 141–105 home loss to the New Orleans Pelicans dropped the team’s record to 17–20 on Wednesday, significant changes could be on the horizon, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
“The mindset in Golden State right now is everyone but Steph Curry is on the table,” Charania said on FanDuel’s Run It Back while discussing potential trades. “… This Warriors team, they’re teetering right now as we’re just under a month until the trade deadline. I think they will be active. Everyone but Steph Curry has to be in play.”
Charania also pointed out that while the Warriors “hope” to keep Klay Thompson in Golden State for the long term, the two sides still haven’t reached an agreement on a new deal. He also signaled that the front office is “big fans” of Jonathan Kuminga, Brandin Podziemski and Trayce Jackson-Davis. However, he specified that the Warriors should make Andrew Wiggins and “everyone else” on the roster, with the exception of Curry, available to be traded at the deadline.

Whatever direction the Warriors opt to go ahead of the Feb. 8 NBA trade deadline could shake up the franchise drastically, especially if one of the team’s top players gets moved. It will be interesting to see how the dominoes fall and whether Golden State decides to break up a core that has won four NBA titles together.
