Warriors Trade Talk: called about LeBron James, Trey Murphy III, shot down of signs and hunters
The offseason of the Golden State Warriors remains in a model of detention while the limited free agency of Jonathan Kuminga takes place. Al Horford, Gary Payton II and others should sign in the Bay region once Kuminga and the Warriors have accepted terms.
None of this has stopped rumors about the Warriors this off -season, and Friday NBA Insider Jake Fischer dropped a trio in the Stein line Subs.

Warriors called LeBron several times
Back to the deadline for the trade last February, The warriors tried to remove LeBron James from the Lakers, But this effort did not go anywhere, in part because LeBron’s agent, Rich Paul, canceled it. This rejection did not prevent the Warriors, said Fischer.
“I am told that the Warriors have called the Lakers several times in the last 18 months to see if there is a commercial course to twin James with Stephen Curry, who approximately a year ago at that time was teaming up with LeBron for the Male Male team in the United States during his race at a gold medal in the Olympics in Paris.”
Golden State will not stop trying because this push comes from the owner Joe Lacob – Remember, he even called the owner of the time, Jeanie Buss, to present this idea on the deadline last year. That said, don’t expect it to happen. After LeBron opted for his $ 52.6 million contract for this season, which makes this business under CAP rules (even with three or four teams involved) becomes almost impossible. This is true for all LeBron trade. If he leaves the Lakers, it will probably be next summer as a free agent (or in a sign and an exchange).

Warriors interested in Trey Murphy III
The long-term vision of the president of the new Joe Dumar team for New Orleans Pelicans is … blurred. Around the League, no one knows exactly where the team is heading, which is why there remains a considerable commercial interest for many of their players.
One of them is Trey Murphy III and the Warriors and San Antonio Spurs are interested in the double -way wing, Fischer reported.
Murphy collected an average of 21.2 points and 5.1 rebounds per game for Pélicans last season, but he played in just 53 games due to a shoulder injury, and staying healthy was a problem in his career. Murphy is expected to win $ 25 million next season during the first year of a $ 112 million contract over four years.

Warriors shoot down, Moody Trades
This is a strange thing to say about Golden State by considering its recent story, but this team lacks shooting. This is why when the teams called on the Moses Moody or Buddy Hield professions – both are eligible and could be part of a sign and an exchange – the warriors have shot it down, Fischer reports.
“Sources indicate to the Stein line, moreover, that Golden State refused this summer to entertain the scenarios of signs and exchanges which would force him to make Buddy Hield or Moses Moody due to the limited options currently on the list in terms of unauthorized proven shooters Curry.”
Last season, Hield played in 82 games with an average of 11.1 points per game and pulling 37% beyond the arc. Moody played in 74 games and collected on average 9.8 points while pulling 37.4% out of 3. The two should have slightly larger roles in the team this season.
