Ever since the Golden State Warriors traded Andre Iguodala in the 2019 offseason, they’ve scarcely had a bonafide sixth man capable of providing consistent winning impact to the organization.
Buddy Hield threatened to be just that early last season, but fell off a cliff quite dramatically before finding life again in the playoffs. Usually by this point of the offseason all the key contributors have signed somewhere in the league, yet the unique nature of this year’s restricted free agents has stalled others on the market including a recent Sixth Man of the Year winner.
Veteran point guard Malcolm Brogdon remains an unrestricted free agent and could be available at a significant discount, having just completed a two-year, $45 million contract.
