The Golden State Warriors have been searching for the right move to solidify their roster—and Dallas’ draft-night fortune may have just handed them the perfect opportunity. After the Mavericks landed Duke phenom Cooper Flagg with the No. 1 overall pick, their frontcourt is suddenly overflowing with talent, potentially making key contributor PJ Washington expendable. According to Blue Man Hoop’s Tyler Watts, the Warriors, who desperately need size, defensive versatility, and reliable secondary scoring, this could be the ideal trade target to push them back into title contention.Following Flagg, Anthony Davis, Dereck Lively II, and Daniel Gafford, Washington, who was instrumental in Dallas’ 2024 NBA Finals run, is currently stuck in a deadlock. Golden State should jump at the chance to sign the 26-year-old forward, as the Mavericks are probably trying to assemble a team with a lot of quality.
