Big rocking Golden State Warriors. Can they turn a blind eye to a certain power-enhancing card called “The Seagull” Anthony Davis.
Davis may be a “panic trade” option if Golden State continues its sluggish performance this season, the U.S. media “Clutch Point” reported.
The situation in Golden State is not so good at the moment. He has recently lost two consecutive games, breaking his 11 wins, 12 losses, and 50% winning rate. The biggest problem is the continued rise of the main players. Starting with Stephen Curry, the core of Golden State, including Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green, is gradually collapsing.

Curry-oriented games remain after many years. The correct expression would be that there is no player to replace him. Golden State’s offensive rating this season is 112.3, ranking 23rd overall. Defensive ratings have remained close to a 50% winning rate, ranking 111.8 and sixth overall.
The biggest problem is the aging of Golden State. Of course, they have Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody and Brandin Pozemski, so the future is bright, but it is too much to change the Curry-centered team.
Golden State must set a clear line as early as this season or as late as next season. While Curry is holding out, rebuilding is not an easy choice. If so, chances are slim that he will reinforce a solid core and play Win Now.
Then, the acquisition of Davis, which is full of trade rumors, could be an inevitable fate for Golden State. The fact that they wait for the right time with great coolness and patience rather than the “panic trade” has been shown so far. However, if the current downward trend continues, they could also be in a hurry.

“Will the current situation drive them into a desperate move for Golden State?” said Clutch Point? Maybe that’s the case. Golden State has remained cool and was able to win the championship as a result. When Butler was recruited, he waited for the right time. They are not in a hurry until the value of Kuminga is maximized. Nevertheless, if losses accumulate like now, we may have no choice but to push ahead with a huge trade,” he said.
Then, what is the option for Golden State to get Davis while choosing Win Now.
“Clutchpoint” suggested that “Green and Kuminga, Hield and Santos, as well as first-round picks in 2028 and 2032 to Dallas, could bring Davis and Russell in.”

In fact, this choice is ‘gambling’. It means that Golden State, which is aging, will recruit Davis, who has only a few days left in his prime. It’s even a big problem that you’re not healthy. As a top contender, your sense of stability can be greatly reduced.
Even Golden State is a team that has better defense than offense this season, and Davis’s greatest strength and defense are not urgently needed. Nevertheless, the most important thing is to reduce the burden on shooters like Curry.
“The reason why Golden State can desperately need a player like Davis is because it can reduce the burden on outside shooters,” said Clutch Point. They are overly dependent on spacings and movements to produce scores. If the shot doesn’t go in, it’s a frustrating team,” he pointed out.
In the end, if Golden State recruits Davis, it will be a choice that focuses on the fact that it can take diversity in offense rather than strengthening defense.
