first player trade since last year’s draft reportedly acquiring Oklahoma City Thunder guard Lindy Waters 3 on Thursday according to Anthony Slater of the athletic the Warriors plan to secure Waters with a $2.2 million team option confirming the 26 year-old as part of their main roster for the upcoming season Golden State will send the 52nd overall pick to Oklahoma City removing themselves from the second round of Thursday’s draft a strategic move for the Warriors The Warriors seem to believe that Waters is a more calculated risk than any Prospect they might have selected with the 5c pick this decision is easy to understand given Waters proven ability as a three-point shooter at the NBA level even though his opportunities dwindled as the Thunder strengthened their rotation and Rose to the top of the Western Conference this season the 6’6 in Wing averaged 8.0 points 2.9 rebounds and shot 36.3% on 5.83 point attempts per game in his rookie year however his playing time has decreased increased over the past two seasons this season Waters averaged just 7.4 minutes in 38 games but achieved a career-high 43.5% from Beyond The Ark why this trade makes sense the Warriors need more shooting especially if Klay Thompson leaves in free agency only Thompson and two-time MVP Stephen Curry averaged more than 1.3 three-pointers per game this season Waters has averaged more than that twice in his three seasons despite being a deep rotation player Waters ranked fourth on the Thunder in total plus minus during the 2022 to 23 season finishing with plus 136 even though the team had a losing record this suggests he can be a productive winning player in the NBA a valuable asset for Golden State next season conclusion this is a smart trade for the Warriors even if it doesn’t have a massive immediate impact Waters is more likely to secure a rotation spot than any Prospect available at the 52nd pick especially given his three-point shooting ability and intriguing size on the wing moreover acquiring a player with over 100 NBA games of experience without affecting their flexibility for other offseason moves is a win for Golden State three players who could be affected by the Warriors trade for Lindy Waters 3 the Golden State Warriors made waves on the second day of the 2024 NBA draft executing their first player trade since acquiring Chris Paul just over a year ago the Warriors traded the 52nd pick to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Sharpshooter Lindy Waters 3 and later reacquired the pick to secure the draft rights to 6′ 10 in Center Quinton post the arrival of Lindy Waters 3 could impact several Warriors players Waters is expected to enhance the Warriors shooting depth a team that heavily relied on Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson this past season the 26-year-old has shot 37.7% from Beyond The Arc in 104 career NBA games including an impressive 43.5% this season in limited opportunities wat’s g-league stats also spark optimism in 10 games this season he averaged 21.8 points 6.6 rebounds 2.9 assists and 1.8 steals while shooting 43.5% from three while it’s not certain that the 6′ 6 in guard will be a full-time rotation player for the Warriors next season his arrival could challenge the opportunities of a few key players one Moses Moody Moses Moody should be well ahead of waters in the pecking order next season assuming the former lottery pick remains on the roster and isn’t traded this off season however under Steve Kerr who has often favored other players over Moody for reasons that baffled fans Waters could see some Court time at Moody’s expense both Moody and Waters are 6′ 6 in Wings known for their shooting Waters may have proven his shooting ability more consistently so far but Moody excels in nearly every other aspect of the game despite this the erratic utilization of Moody throughout his career suggests Waters could impact his playing time next season two gu Santos though he wasn’t added to the Warriors roster until after the season started gu Santos looked comfortable in his limited rookie year opportunities the Brazilian forward shot over 50% from the floor 37% from three and demonstrated strong rebounding and hustle plays both Santos and Waters might struggle to break into the rotation but if they do there may only be room for one this sets up a greater challenge for Santos especially if the Warriors guarantee his $1.9 million contract for the next season three Lester konz the addition of waters along with post although post hasn’t been officially signed yet could significantly hinder Lester kinon chances of securing another deal with the Warriors next season the 23-year-old performed well mid-season when injuries opened up opportunities shooting 36.4% from three and often taking on tough defensive assignments despite his contributions the Warriors might prefer the larger more proven Waters while there’s still a chance kones could return to the Warriors this trade doesn’t bode well for his prospects conclusion the acquisition of Lindy Waters 3 brings a proven Sharpshooter to the Warriors roster potentially reshaping the Dynamics for players like Moses Moody gu Santos and Lester konz water’s shooting ability and NBA experience make him a valuable asset and his impact on the team will be closely watched as the Warriors prepare for another challenging season the Warriors decision on veteran guard fuels trade speculation the Golden State Warriors have made a decision regarding Chris Paul’s contract but this move has only heightened speculation about the veteran guard’s future according to Adrien W narowski of ESPN Paul and the Warriors have mutually agreed to push back the guarantee date of his contract to Sunday while it was initially thought that this date might be moved to July the 48-hour extension gives Golden State a bit more time to explore potential trades the decision to postpone Chris Paul’s guarantee date Sparks further trade speculation we know that the Warriors will either orchestrate a trade involving the 12-time All-Star or him significantly saving on next season’s payroll the decision to extend the guarantee date by only 2 days suggests that the franchise might be close to agreeing on a trade or it might simply be all that Paul would agree to both scenarios are plausible if Paul is eventually waved he would want to know before the start of free agency giving him more options before salary cap space and roster spots are taken by other players however it’s noteworthy that the 39-year-old prefers to be with his family in Los Angeles making the Lakers and Clippers The Front Runners to sign him according to Mark Stein speaking of the Clippers Stein also reported that Golden State prioritized a trade for LA Clippers Paul George above all other deals intriguingly George has to decide on his player option by Saturday a decision that could reveal a lot about his future although the Warriors and Clippers haven’t finalized a trade yet they could agree on a deal in principle before the new salary cap year starts in July Golden State already has a trade in progress that can’t be officially completed until next month having reacquired the 52nd pick from the Portland Trailblazers to secure the draft rights to Quinton post while the George situation seems the most likely scenario the Warriors must have a contingency plan in place they can’t afford to wave Paul’s contract lose Klay Thompson in free agency and expect to remain a playoff Contender next season that wouldn’t be prioritizing Stephen Curry which appears to be the Warriors goal with their aggressive pursuit of George
