Warriors urged to reunite with Klay Thompson and trade for Anthony Davis to help Stephen Curry image

The Golden State Warriors are quite old already.

Why not get even older with a trade to try and make one more championship push with Stephen Curry?

That's the idea pitched by Chandler Parsons on the Run It Back show on Tuesday.

Parsons wants the Warriors to call up the Dallas Mavericks, who have Klay Thompson and Anthony Davis.

He points out the fact that Jonathan Kuminga might "feel like the scapegoat."

"He's the obvious one to move," Parsons says of Kuminga.

On Klay, Parsons said: "I'd love to see Klay Thompson somehow get back here. He doesn't seem to be doing anything in Dallas. I don't know if that moves the needle for Golden State, but he'd bring shooting."

On AD: "Anthony Davis is a name you're hearing around if he can be healthy. That's a big if. That's more of a win-now move that could bump them from a play-in spot to a contender category."

The Mavs probably wouldn't mind moving Klay and AD. It's time for Dallas to build around 18-year-old Cooper Flagg, rather than their veteran group.

Would the Warriors give up Kuminga, or Brandin Podziemski, or draft picks? Thompson probably doesn't have much trade value at all anymore. Davis still should, though, if Golden State can figure out how to line the finances up.

It's certainly an interesting thing to imagine.
