After much speculation, the Golden State Warriors ended up having an extremely mild-mannered 2024 NBA trade deadline. Their lone move was to send Cory Joseph and cash to the Indiana Pacers (who promptly waived Joseph) to open up a roster spot (presumably for Lester Quiñones) and clear some tax money.
But while we heard lots about the people the Warriors didn’t trade away, we hadn’t heard as many rumors about players they were targeting. But Tuesday brought a little nugget on that front. Speaking on his The Lowe Post podcast, ESPN’s Zach Lowe revealed that the Warriors made a run at two solid veterans: big man Kelly Olynyk and guard Alex Caruso.
