The Warriors and the Jazz have both clinched a playoff berth. The Warriors finished 3rd in the West, whereas the Jazz finalized their 5th seed. Utah will be taking on the Mavs in the first round. Stephen Curry and the Dubs will face Jokic’s Nuggets. Both these matchups are going to be pretty fun to watch.

Since Kevin Durant left the Warriors, the team has been struggling with filling the center position. Though the Warriors have some big names, including Looney, Otto Porter, and Kuminga, they still need a strong candidate to look after the rim. Recent rumors tel that the Dubs might be going after a former defensive player.

Stephen Curry and the Warriors look for a big man

With the playoffs around the corner, trade rumors start to rise as some teams did not make the playoffs. According to recent rumors, the Warriors might be interested in pursuing Rudy Gobert in the offseason. This deal will demand heavy players to be traded. Gobert signed a 5 year, $205 million max contract with the Jazz.

The Warriors have improved their roster’s performance incredibly this season. In the 2020-21 season, the Warriors lost to the Grizzlies and the Lakers in the Play-In tournament. Those losses did spark a need for a proper center. James Weisman showed glimpses of his talent, but as of now, he is injured.

This trade deal might include Jonathan Kuminga, Andrew Wiggins, Moses Moddy, and James Weisman. Whereas the Jazz, apart from Gobert, some of the role players might be included in the deal.

The Warriors can give Kuminga and Moody at best, as losing Wiggins would not be a good choice. Wiggins and Poole are both scorers alongside the Splash brothers. Andrew not only dominates in mid-range but also grabs tough rebounds.

Rudy Gobert with Stephen Curry

The Warriors’ offense is full of cuts and displays exceptional ball movement. The last time the Warriors had a reliable center was during their championship run in 2017 and 2018. Zaza and McGee both did well, protecting the rim.

Though with Gobert, who is one of the best defenders in the league, and Stephen Curry, the best shooter of all time, the Warriors will be unstoppable. A threat in the paint and a threat from outside will be a nightmare for the opponent.

There are multiple options for the trade, though the Warriors will probably look to give Moddy and Weisman.
