The Warriors are trying to get back to the NBA Finals, and it seems like they are willing to trade anyone not named Steph or Klay to do that. Today’s rumor has the Golden State franchise linked to Oakland native Damian Lillard.

Here are the details of the suggested Damian Lillard to Golden State trade:

“Would the Warriors get involved? Yes,” wrote Anthony Slater of The Athletic. “They’d make a call and have already internally discussed the idea, as I’m sure most contenders have, considering the rising smoke out of Portland.

“Their theoretical offer would be competitive. If the Blazers decided to trade Lillard, a complete rebuild seems like the wisest path and there aren’t many better rebuilding trade packages dangling out there right now than James Wiseman, the seventh and 14th pick in the upcoming draft, plus more future firsts, attached to Andrew Wiggins as salary match filler.

Now would the Warriors actually trade Wiggins for Lillard? Yes they would in a minute.
