The Golden State Warriors underwent an offseason of great change over the summer, watching Klay Thompson walk in free agency to the Dallas Mavericks and replacing him with a trio consisting of Buddy Hield, De'Anthony Melton, and Kyle Anderson. It was a fairly significant roster upheaval for the NBA's most recent dynasty, but if things had gone according to plan, the Dubs would have gone even bigger with their moves.
In a lengthy piece published to The Athletic on Tuesday, Stephen Curry and Draymond Green revealed to reporter Anthony Slater that Golden State GM Mike Dunleavy went into the offseason with the aim of acquiring not one, but two All-Star wings: Paul George and Lauri Markkanen. It would have been a dramatic coup and one that would have undoubtedly rocketed the Warriors to true contenders rather than hopefuls.
