Golden State Warriors’ Coach Steve Kerr admits team has lost confidence after recent loss to New Orleans Pelicans.
Warriors’ front office open to making deals before trade deadline in four weeks, with no player except Stephen Curry considered untouchable.

Warriors’ core players, such as Draymond Green and Klay Thompson, may be challenging to trade due to various factors, but Curry emphasizes the need for change.

The Golden State Warriors are currently facing a challenging time, with Coach Steve Kerr admitting that the team has lost confidence in themselves after a recent loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. Stephen Curry even mentioned that he was booing himself and the team in his head when they were booed by the home crowd. The Warriors started the season strong, winning five of their first six games, but have since encountered obstacles such as player suspensions, injuries, and disappointing performances. Their current record is 17-20 and they are facing an uphill battle to secure a spot in the play-in games.

With the trade deadline approaching in four weeks, the Warriors’ front office is expected to be open to making deals. According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, no player on the team, except for Curry, is considered untouchable. The mindset in Golden State is that they will be looking to make moves to improve the team.

However, this does not necessarily mean that the Warriors will completely overhaul their core group of players who have led them to four championships. Draymond Green, who recently signed a four-year, $100 million contract, and Klay Thompson, who is currently in contract negotiations, may not be easy to trade due to various factors. It is worth noting that the mention of potential trades involving Green and Thompson could be influenced by recent behavioral issues and contract negotiations, as well as the team’s current struggles.

Curry emphasized the need for change during a recent interview, stating that if they continue with the same approach, it would be “the definition of insanity.” He believes that every NBA season presents opportunities for adjustments and improvements.

The Warriors have players with varying contract situations, such as Chris Paul with an expiring contract and Andrew Wiggins with a long-term extension. The team also has rookies and young players who could be potential trade assets. The front office has the flexibility to make significant changes or smaller adjustments, but it is unclear what exactly they are looking for at this point in the season.

Given the current atmosphere surrounding the team, a trade that could boost morale and performance would be beneficial. However, other teams may take advantage of the Warriors’ desperate situation, potentially leading to unfavorable trades. The Warriors should be open to trade discussions but should also focus on improving their performance and finding a lineup that works well together.

With the deadline approaching, the Warriors are at a crossroads. They must make the most of this season, especially with Curry performing at such a high level despite his age. The front office will have to make tough decisions and choose from a range of imperfect options in order to maximize the team’s potential.
