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

TL;DR

  • Chandler Parsons suggested Warriors trade for Klay Thompson and Anthony Davis.
  • Parsons believes Jonathan Kuminga could be traded to facilitate the move.
  • The Mavericks might consider trading Thompson and Davis for development.
  • Acquiring Davis would be a win-now move, but his health is a concern.

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 Mavericks might be open to trading Klay and AD. Dallas should focus on developing 18-year-old Cooper Flagg instead of their current veteran roster.

Could the Warriors part with Kuminga, or Brandin Podziemski, or future draft selections? Thompson likely holds very little trade appeal at this point. Davis, however, should still possess some, provided Golden State can manage the financial aspects.

It's certainly an interesting thing to imagine.
