[esidery] The Warriors have recently checked in with the Bulls on Nikola Vucevic. Vucevic is averaging 21.1 points, 9.6 rebounds and 3.2 assists while shooting 47.5% on threes. Golden State has the necessary expiring salaries and draft capital to make a potential deal work with Chicago.

Most of Sidery’s rumors don’t end up happening
Black hole defensively but will help a ton offensively and finally gives them a bit of size. Wouldn’t mind it for the right deal.
Trade would almost definitely require Looney being sent out because it makes no sense to keep 3 centers (Vuc, Loon, TJD) + Dray. And TJD’s small contract doesn’t really help at all matching salary.
Trade would most likely be Looney + Moody + 1 of Hield/Gp2/Anderson
Steph, Dray, Wiggins, Schroder, & Vucevic is a playoff caliber team. I like it.
GP2, Slowmo, Gui Santos makes the money work. It reduces our depth but gives us someone else that can actually score. I wouldn’t mind it because our guard rotation is pretty deep but it would hurt to lose GP2 because he’s a menace defensively. Losing Slomo would also be unfortunate, and in case of injury we might be screwed in the forward position, but offense is the main need of this team rn.
i wasnt a fan of vuc before – but i say lets do this. I heavily criticized his terrible defense but would it be worth it with Draymond playing next to him?
Stretch big would do wonders for JK and wiggs slashing and the offense as a whole… black hole defensively but trading for vuc doesn’t necessarily mean he has to close every night
Yes please!
Would hate to lose Loon. Wouldn’t mind it if it made it work but would hate to lose him.
wont get excited until it actually happens
I need proof MDJ doesn’t read this sub.
Relax all. I’m Just kidding.
The only possible package that seems to work financially would be Slomo, JK, Waters + TJD. I think it’s fine as it’ll shorten our rotation a little. This only works if the team can’t find a better deal involving JK. With the addition of Schröder we can trade Slomo/Waters.
The Warriors need him for his Offense. Draymond, TJD, and Looney are allergic to scoring lol
Slomo has a 2 year guaranteed contract. The Bulls don’t want him or have any use for him.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shMFGB_1AA4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shMFGB_1AA4) Highlights from his game against Spurs two weeks ago. Honestly Vuc’s touch with the ball has a lot of finesse to it. Offensively he would provide a lot more variables to our game, make it harder for the opposition to plan against. Strech bigs are difficult to come by, so I wouldn’t be opposed to this move at all.
The idea of needing to give draft capital is insanely hilarious.
Do not trade Loon
His shooting is on fire this season but remind u that he only shoot 32% from 3 in the previous 3 seasons total.
He’d be great we just gotta get something
Don’t forget, Kerr is just going to use him to screen Steph and an occasional lob.
We need scoring badly.
We’re gonna be ass after Curry retires anyways. Let’s go for it.
