The Golden State Warriors have failed to find their footing this year. Sitting at 16-15, they never pull away from the .500 mark or find any level of consistency.
Altogether, the results don’t match the talent.
Golden State has dropped games it should have closed out. Late-game slip-ups, shaky defense, and a demanding schedule have wiped away several chances to build momentum.
Draymond Green even acknowledged they let too many wins escape. Add some friction inside the locker room, including a heated moment with Steve Kerr on the sideline, and the rotation looks unsettled around aging core pieces.
A major swing could reset everything.

Why Coby White Makes Sense for Golden State
Coby White now operates as Chicago’s go-to scorer. He’s putting up 20.8 points, 5.1 assists, and 3.5 rebounds while shooting 44.8 percent from the floor, 31 percent from deep on high volume, and 79.6 percent at the line.Â
He drove Chicago’s offense in November, averaging 24.2 points and steadying a team stuck around .500. His scoring dipped a bit in December, yet he continues to deliver efficient production.
White gives instant offense, secondary playmaking, and real shot creation that would ease the burden on Steph Curry. He can get a shot late in the clock, which matters for a Warriors team that often sees Curry swarmed.
What Chicago Gets Back
Moses Moody has settled into a steady spot in the Warriors’ rotation and delivers reliable two-way play. He puts up 11.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.7 assists a night while knocking down nearly 38.2 percent of his threes.Â
His defensive numbers jump off the page because he consistently disrupts passing lanes and stays active on the ball.
Brandin Podziemski has also established himself in his third season and looks like a long-term contributor. He averages 12.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3.3 assists while shooting 38.6 percent from deep.Â
He rebounds like a forward and scores efficiently coming off screens or spotting up. The touch on his floater and his feel for the game give him a scoring dimension that goes beyond catch-and-shoot work.
Chicago could get two young players who fit a long-term plan, without sacrificing spacing or effort on either end.
Who Actually Wins This Deal?
Coby White would lift Golden State’s offense right away and could cover for the minutes when Curry takes a seat. That kind of support keeps the door open for a stronger playoff run.
Still, the Warriors already have Moses Moody and Brandin Podziemski, and both offer lower costs, defensive flexibility, and room to grow.Â
When you weigh everything, the deal could end up favoring Chicago in the long haul. The Bulls would walk away with two young players who are trending upward, while the Warriors would gamble on instant offense and commit themselves to an expensive extension down the line.
