The Golden State Warriors continue to lose in the absence of Stephen Curry due to a shoulder injury. After their recent loss to the New York Knicks, the Warriors stand at 11th place in the Western Conference with an underwhelming record of 15-17, leaving the playoffs berth at stake. Additionally, there haven’t been any official updates regarding Curry’s return. The Warriors’ point guard missed out on the last three games owing to his shoulder injury and the defending champions struggled to find the right mix in his absence.

Fans took to Twitter after NBCS’ veteran sports journalist Monte Poole spoke about the necessity for a trade involving Green and Thompson on Live TV. Monte Poole, a Warriors insider, detailed why such a trade is a tough possibility, but not impossible.
