After falling short of capturing the title with Stephen Curry in the 2023 playoffs,

Golden State Warriors are a squad that may wind up making some adjustments during this offseason.

[{"selector":"#anim-5a019f93-7b57-46b8-9229-0d16fc05987b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1eb55273-1bbd-41f9-9098-ed36f507b618","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 176.41165%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

They have already dealt Jordan Poole in a deal that nets them Chris Paul, and there is a possibility that there may be other trades in the near future.

[{"selector":"#anim-95b291d9-9f55-4f29-8011-3e0facfe55cc","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c54ec529-9c97-4dd1-9aa9-1f3f2a01ba06","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 143.48150%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

To compete with big guys from the Western Conference like Nikola Jokic and Anthony Davis,

[{"selector":"#anim-6a0084b6-fe77-4974-af0d-d6bfc3148283","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0c7b3819-bd44-412f-b09e-965dc5214f0d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 228.95974%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

the Golden State Warriors need to add size to their roster and enhance their rebounding. This is one of the areas in which they need to improve.

[{"selector":"#anim-dc9d5706-0e68-4c13-89d8-a9dd76421fd2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e13b962e-ee3b-4143-ab60-3efc2d9ffc02","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 143.48150%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Deandre Ayton, who currently plays for the Phoenix Suns and is a quality big who excels at both scoring within the paint and protecting the rim,

[{"selector":"#anim-a3ec6ef1-cc14-4d37-9dc0-91e40970bdbe","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7196c303-600c-4dea-9bd2-614a0913e78b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 143.48150%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

could be a good trade target for your team. The following is a possible scenario that involves Ayton being traded to the Bay.

[{"selector":"#anim-7e37c982-fba5-4226-9279-dee5561a24fe","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3a31db31-0d96-44a8-a128-b8a4791d57ef","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 176.41165%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Based on how both teams' rosters are currently constructed, this trade might end up being beneficial for both of them in the long run.

[{"selector":"#anim-982363b7-e1c7-4c43-b892-da0e735cfcd7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2f094ab7-580a-42e4-be18-3c0906ba5f02","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 143.48150%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The Phoenix Suns and the Golden State Warriors should seriously consider working out a trade after reading these justifications.

[{"selector":"#anim-b88073f4-fc05-4bf9-a09e-c9c93faf38d2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f4a10e2e-b6c9-4da0-8137-f2dc498addb7","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 143.48150%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Even though the Phoenix Suns have not been able to make Deandre Ayton into a star player,

[{"selector":"#anim-8ac5a5c0-baf9-4a77-830a-49da57572127","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4b552f48-7c44-4805-a72f-9f91bd28ca7e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 176.41165%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
