Warriors are selling fans on reality that doesn’t exist
Golden State Warriors, Steve Kerr | David Gonzales-Imagn ImagesThe Golden State Warriors didn't trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo before the deadline, but that wasn't because of a lack of trying. They pivoted to Kristaps Porzi\u0146\u0121is instead, who they hope will be ready to play after the All-Star break. The fact that he was their prize deadline acquisition should tell fans what they already knew, and what the front office doesn't want to admit.
Mike Dunleavy said after the trade deadline that he believes the team is "trending in the right direction." Expecting him to say otherwise would be silly, but still. No one truly believes that.
