The Golden State Warriors are approaching a pivotal offseason as they seek to bolster their roster surrounding their star trio of Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green. With the championship window gradually closing due to aging players, upgrading the roster is paramount for maintaining title contention. One of the primary decisions involves the future of Jonathan Kuminga, a restricted free agent likely to be involved in a sign-and-trade deal.

The guard position is a glaring area of need for the Warriors, especially in terms of adding a backup for Curry to enhance bench depth. A potential target is Keon Ellis from the Sacramento Kings, with a mock trade proposal suggesting the Warriors could acquire Ellis along with K.J. Martin from the Utah Jazz. In exchange, Golden State would send Jaden Springer and future draft picks to Sacramento, while Moses Moody would head to Utah.

Despite the high price, Ellis has showcased his value, averaging 8.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.5 steals last season, coupled with impressive shooting percentages. His defensive skills and scoring ability could significantly enhance the Warriors' second unit, making this trade an intriguing possibility if Sacramento changes its stance on Ellis.
