Here’s Why The Golden State Warriors Are Possibly Looking To Trade James Weisman For Pascal Siakam

The Warriors drafted one of the top 3 prospects in last year’s draft in James Weisman. With Golden State’s core of Steph, Klay, and Dray all in their early 30’s it looks like the team may already be ready to flip Weisman for a veteran to win now. According to the Atlantic, the veteran that Golden State is looking at trading James Weisman for may just be Pascal Siakam.

Here are the details on the Warriors potentially trading Weisman for Siakam:

Golden State assured itself of an additional first-round pick when Minnesota failed to land in the top three on lottery night. The Warriors now have the seventh and 14th picks plus last year’s second overall pick, James Wiseman, and there is a widespread expectation that the Warriors will use No. 7 and Wiseman, in particular, to seek more immediate upgrades to the roster. One name to watch: Pascal Siakam.

I know Siakam played out of his mind against Golden State in the Finals and that Steph Curry is 33, but if you ask me who I want on my team the next 5 years the answer is Weisman easily.
