Kendrick Perkins calls for Warriors to trade two key veterans

The Golden State Warriors have lost 22 games this season. They are 12th in the Western Conference and show no signs of improving. On Monday, they fell to a Memphis Grizzlies team that had been decimated by injury.

The loss continues to feed the widely held expectations that Golden State will explore the trade market ahead of the Feb. 8 trade deadline.

However, according to a report by Michael Grange of SportsNet.Ca, the Warriors don’t wish to part ways with impressive young forward Jonathan Kuminga. As such, it would likely be a veteran member of the rotation that was dangled in trade discussions.

In a recent episode of ESPN’s “First Take,” former NBA champion Kendrick Perkins made his case for why Golden State should part ways with Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. Both veterans have been integral to the Warriors’ success and dominance over the past decade.
