The Warriors are still hoping for a trade before the season resumes, but the latest news isn’t great for the franchise.

The organization refuses to give in, to the point where they’ll probably have to opt for a Plan B.

Like other NBA ring contenders, the Warriors are still hoping for some movement before September’s training camp.

The franchise has been active this summer with either Kyle Anderson or Buddy Hield to replace the departing Klay Thompson, but it’s likely going to take more than that to win the title.

The Western Conference is talented after all and filled with ambitious teams.

The Warriors’ trade is getting complicated

In recent weeks, Lauri Markkanen’s name has been making a lot of buzz across the Atlantic.

The Jazz star is on his way out with a year left on his contract, but Danny Ainge is not easy to negotiate with according to some sources.

According to insider Marc Stein, it’s Brandin Podziemski who seems to be blocking the talks at this stage.

Marc Stein: “The Warriors, since Sunday, continue to be considered the real contenders for Lauri Markkanen … but at the same time, they refuse to give up Brandin Podziemski in a package for the Finnish player.

For now, Golden State is pursuing Markkanen without offering Podziemski or Jonathan Kuminga.

It is obvious that no one has reached the price asked by Danny Ainge. ”

Recruiting Markkanen without giving up one of the two youngsters on the roster? It’s a hell of a mission for the Dubs and we don’t see how the outcome could be happy for them.

Ainge prefers to temporize and count on him to wait months if necessary to get what he wants…

Warriors waste rest of Curry’s prime.

If the Warriors really want Lauri Markkanen, they’re going to have to make an effort with their offer.

If they don’t, it could be a bad outcome for them.

The Dubs need to figure something out by the end of the month.
