Huge Report: Golden State Warriors Trading #7 Pick, Targeting All-Stars
The Golden State Warriors hold the #7 and #14 picks at the upcoming draft and it's likely the team moves the #7 pick and are looking to land another all-star. The team acquired the pick from the Minnesota Timberwolves and after a 39-33 season without Klay Thompson, are setting themselves up for a huge bounce-back season.
The Warriors are expected to make some calls this season on a couple of players including the Washington Wizards' Bradley Beal and Philadelphia 76ers' Ben Simmons. Both may be a reach and will need something more than the #7 pick, but if you got your hands on the Warriors wish list, those two names would be near the top.
"I believe the Golden State Warriors are going to make a push for Ben Simmons, so keep your ears tuned, stay tuned. It's possible Ben Simmons could end up in Golden State."

To make the money work, it's likely Andrew Wiggins is included with the #7 pick. Although head coach Steve Kerr has become a huge fan of Wiggins' game, but they won't be able to add a major salary without including him and it's not likely the team trades Thompson or Draymond Green instead.
Keep an eye on the Warriors, they plan on making a major splash on draft night!
