It's possible the Warriors will learn they don't have the star power necessary to contend for the crown. Should they make that discovery, they must act upon it immediately.

Generational talents like Stephen Curry don't come around often, so Golden State must do whatever it can to maximize the remainder of his prime.

Between Paul's sizable salary, Kuminga's upside and an unprotected pick that might land high up the board if Golden State's veterans have aged into their decline by then, the Dubs can aim for the stars. Siakam easily fits that label as a two-time All-NBA selection who has previously played a featured role in a championship run.

Siakam would add a slew of championship-level traits to this team's equation, since he can make an impact as a scorer, shot-creator, finisher, rebounder and defender. This deal would make the Dubs even more top-heavy than they've been, but they could still put together a loaded playoff rotation if they avoided any ill-timed injuries.
