Warriors Fire Sale on Horizon?

Well folks it appears the long rumored fire sale may be underway in the Bay. Not surprising given the deep ties the area has to venture capital firms. Strip it down to pieces and rebuild is the soup de jour for these private equity shops, the Warriors are no different.

The GM, Burke, has been on the job for almost one year now and it seems the roster will be remade in his image. That first year mainly saw the team move off of expiring contracts and tinker with the depth on the roster. Now our sources here at Haunt Media are saying even the big names on the roster could be on the move. Although the GM has insisted time and time again that franchise focal point Bam Adebayo is like the rising tide in San Fran, here to lift all the players around him. That may not be the case for long. One team in the Eastern Conference is said to have put forth a very strong offer that Golden State may not be able to refuse.

But that's not where the sale stops either. Brought in during last season was Cole Anthony, the 16th overall in the 2020 draft. The youngster impressed during his time with Golden State, winning Rookie of the Week multiple 3 times since his arrival in California. It's hard to believe the Warriors front office would be willing to move on from this rising Sophomore but reports indicate that may well be the case.

Just recently we've heard spoken in tones so hushed that church mice have a hard time hearing what's said (luckily we pay our church mice extra to listen more closely); Bogdan Bogdanovic might be headed out of town as well. There were rumors of a Bogi trade almost from the moment Burke took over but so far no traction had been made in this realm. Until now it seems. What would it take to move Bogdanovic we're not quite sure (someone dropped a piece of cheese and our mice scurried after that right when the return was being discussed). But if this deal were like any of the others Golden State has made in the last year, expect a young player or two to come back in any trade.

All told, the Warriors appear set to jettison their core from last year and being anew. Adding as many future assets as possible while trimming any fat at the top level is so ingrained in the DNA of the bay area, that the mindset may be infecting their out-of-state GM. We hope the front office is ready to weather the coming storm, all these moves would undoubtedly drive many fans to madness. If the team can keep strong and ignore the picketers in front of the arena, there may be a sustainable model for success growing. The first seeds are being planted, let's see if a tree grown in a hurricane becomes stronger.
