The Warriors didn’t start the 2022-23 NBA season the way they envisioned, posting a 9-10 record and just one away victory.
Any chance of reinforcements coming? Trade rumors swirl Thanks to the team’s slow start, around Golden State these days, Bleacher Report’s Eric Pincus said: The warrior is among the ‘several suitors’ for dormancy Phoenix Suns Forward Jay Crowder.

The question is whether you can. There are other members of the Warriors’ roster that could be traded, but their group of former lottery picks is certainly the most attractive.
With 10 seasons in the NBA, Crowder immediately delivers the presence of a veteran who has been on Golden State’s courts in past seasons, as well as a 6-foot-6 boost as the 7-foot-1 Wiseman. To do. Work to meet expectations.
