Yes.

I guess that they're on it and aware of that possibility and they know how to pull it off. They won't be liking the trade if there's no benefit on them but as once part of it before.

He knows the rotation and he's got the idea how they play so it's not that much to adjust but we'll still see if the team will really take him.

Actually, they will not take Kevin Durant, there might be a chance but it needed Another half of the Golden State teams to be traded for him, and I think the Golden State Warriors will not consider losing 5 more players just to get KD because they already lost Gary Payton II, Juan Toscano-Anderson, Otto Porter Jr., and Damion Lee they can't afford to lose a lot more, but the Warriors have added Donte DiVincenzo from the Sacramento Kings, more likely they don't really need Kevin Durant at all,

The Golden State Warriors seem silent for the past few days. Heavy secret meetings and deals going on? So far the Warriors lost important players like Payton II and Porter Jr. but were quick to take on a championship experienced player, Donte DiVincenzo. The Warriors also managed to re-sign Looney. Last season the Warriors spent more than $300 million and nearly half of it came from luxury tax. This coming season, the Warriors will bleed more monetarily after some increase in yearly contracts. Does it mean they will not pursue Andrew Wiggins anymore?

GSW owner Joe Lacob was at The TK Show talking about his team. So the Warriors are still making a huge amount of money enough to sustain their super expensive roster? So the Warriors will probably extend Wiggins' contract then? Then maybe trade him if they aren't performing well before the trade deadline.

If this becomes a trend where super expensive luxury taxes are still accepted and paid by these richer cities and teams then probably another NBA rule will be made in the near future. There will be a huge disparity, especially for teams in smaller cities.

I think they are trying really hard to balance those financial needs and even more gaining the best players in the process, I really think this is a hard job whoever is calculating this, I mean they already lost Damion Lee (signed with Suns) Gary Payton II (signed with Blazers) Otto Porter Jr. (signed with Raptors) Juan Toscano-Anderson (signed with Lakers) and I think with these trade they surely gained some, in actuality, it is pretty much hard to balance those players that are very good and has talent like for example Gary Payton II can sure steal a ball and make the life miserable for players that he is guarding,
