The Golden State Warriors have some important decisions to make this offseason. General Manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. has made it clear that the team will be active in the offseason with trades and signings. Still, some Warriors trade targets might have too high a price to go all-in for.
One of those candidates is Derrick White. While a Warriors-Derrick White trade would certainly boost the team’s championship aspirations, should they trade all that will be required to get him?
While White isn’t a star, he may be demanding a star-like trade haul. ESPN’s Shams Charania has reported that even though Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porziņģis have already been traded, teams are still calling about a potential Derrick White trade.
He has noted, however, that the asking price for White would be extremely high.
This is where the Warriors need to make a decision. Are they willing to trade all of their trade assets for a player like White? A Warriors-Derrick White trade would likely require the Dubs to give up multiple young players and multiple first-round picks.
This is a big price to pay for someone who is essentially an elite role player. Still, White would be the perfect fit in Golden State.
His defensive abilities and three-point shooting next to Curry in the backcourt would open up many doors for the Warriors on both ends of the court. Additionally, White has been extremely reliable. White has played 73 or more games in each of his last four seasons.
The Warriors should absolutely consider trading for White. The decision will come down to just how high the Celtics' asking price is. If they have to give up every trade asset they have, maybe they should consider a different Warriors trade target.
