The NBA Draft kicks off Wednesday night, and free agency is just a few days away. With that, moves are being made. The Knicks traded for Mikal Bridges. The Houston Rockets are sniffing around Kevin Durant.
Could the Warriors jump into the fray? ESPN's Brian Windhorst thinks so. He said on Get Up Wednesday that the Warriors are looking to swing a deal for a major piece and that Paul George could be that piece.
"Paul George, frankly, wants four years," Windhorst said. "He wants a full-out max. And there are a number of teams out there, I'm told, who are prepared to give it to him, who are prepared to trade for him. One of those teams, potentially, is up the coast in Golden State. Golden State is big fish hunting…They are sniffing around big deals. If Paul George is going to leave, they would like to be an option for him.”
Anthony Slater broke down the report in studio with the Morning Roast. He said that the Knicks' trade for Mikal Bridges takes at least one more suitor out of the George sweepstakes, if George does in fact want to be dealt.
He explained why a package for George might not have to include Jonathan Kuminga, or other major assets. Listen above.
