The Golden State Warriors need to make some moves this offseason. That much is clear. But the Warriors' options are limited. So what's the move?

Willard and Dibs discussed some of the options for Golden State Wednesday afternoon, and they singled out Kevin Durant. Willard proposed a package that would include Andrew Wiggins, Chris Paul and multiple first-round picks, while letting Klay Thompson walk.

"I'm proposing, while realizing I don't know the exact ins and outs and the legality of it, so we will check with Eric, [Pincus] but something along the lines of the Warriors opting into Chris Paul, and then packaging Chris with Andrew Wiggins, and a package of picks and/or a young player like a Moses Moody, to Phoenix, in exchange for Kevin Durant," Willard said. "And yes, it would also mean that Klay walks. So this is an emotionally difficult move to make on two fronts. This would not just be Kevin Durant running back to the Warriors. This would also be the Warriors run back to Kevin Durant."

Durant would cost $51.1.8 million next season. Dibs, meanwhile, thinks that the Suns would be much more interested by Klay Thompson.
