Warriors Reportedly Ready To Offer Multiple First‑Round Picks for Devin Booker
Such a move would signal a win‑now push to extend Stephen Curry’s title window by spending the team’s future draft flexibility.
Overview
- Tim Kawakami of The Athletic said the Warriors would be “first in line” to pursue Booker and suggested Golden State could offer up to three first‑round picks, a report framed as insider speculation rather than a confirmed offer.
- Heavy published a detailed three‑team trade mock that would send Devin Booker and Kevin Porter Jr. to Golden State, give Phoenix several first‑round picks and pick swaps from the Warriors, and route young pieces to Milwaukee to make the deal work.
- Both pieces of coverage stress Booker’s fit with the Warriors, noting his 26.1 points and 6.0 assists last season and his prior experience playing for coach Steve Kerr on Team USA as reasons he would pair well with Curry.
- All reporting is speculative: there are no reports of formal negotiations, team confirmations, or completed transactions and published trade scenarios are illustrative proposals rather than evidence of an active trade.
- The proposal highlights a tradeoff for Golden State because using multiple unprotected first‑round picks would boost short‑term title odds but would also reduce the franchise’s long‑term flexibility and its ability to rebuild if needed.
