Golden State Warriors

This the more obvious pick and Bleacher Report has been shoving this one down our throats all summer. But it’s true that the two would be a good pairing and the Warriors still have assets to flip, believe it or not.

note: This would have to be done at the deadline, or at least when James Wiseman becomes available to be traded.

A side step or maybe even a back step for the Hawks, but there’s a chance Wiseman ends up being even a better player than Collins down the road.

Having him progress on the bench and eventually become the center of the future when Clint Capela leaves could be a very interesting move.

The Warriors would win this move in the short term, but Atlanta could play the long game here.
