Warriors Not Pursuing All-Star Trade Target

The Golden State Warriors are having a strong season with a record of 12 wins and 6 losses.

Warriors’ Trade Decisions:

NBA expert Marc Stein shared on his Substack that the Warriors aren’t really looking to trade for Zach LaVine from the Chicago Bulls right now. They thought about it before, but their interest has faded. You can read more about it here.

Zach LaVine’s Situation:

Zach LaVine is a talented player, scoring an average of 21.6 points per game this season, which is impressive. However, the Bulls have been trying to trade him for quite some time because he’s under contract until 2027 and earns over $43 million each year.

Fans sometimes wonder why teams hesitate with big trades like this one.

Golden State’s Current Roster:

The Warriors lost Klay Thompson in the offseason and recently had another guard suffer a season-ending injury. Despite these setbacks, they are doing well in their conference with one of the best defenses in the league. It seems they don’t want to take on LaVine’s expensive contract right now.
