A season full of nothing but speculation and reporting has continued for the Golden State Warriors this week, including a new twist that has the franchise linked to a trade for restricted free agent Josh Giddey according to NBA insider Jake Fischer.
While Giddey makes some sense in the Warrior system as a high IQ, elite-level ball-handler and playmaker, actually acquiring the Australian point guard would be quite stunning given the complications surrounding a double sign-and-trade involving two free agents that are impacted by base-year compensation rules.
If Golden State were to pull it off, which would include sacrificing at least one of Buddy Hield or Moses Moody, then it would deal a crushing blow to Brandin Podziemski and his dreams of becoming a star with the franchise.
