The Golden State Warriors have faced an existential question for years -- how much are they willing to risk the future by sacrificing draft capital for a win-now move that maximizes the remainder of Stephen Curry's prime?
Until this point nothing (or nobody) has proven good enough to warrant a major risk. Even last February's acquisition of Jimmy Butler only cost the Warriors the 20th overall pick in the 2025 draft.
That could change leading up to next month's mid-season deadline, with ESPN offering a Trey Murphy III trade idea that could bring the firepower needed to give Stephen Curry and this iteration of the Warriors another genuine shot at a title.
