Warriors’ ruthless Myles Turner trade stance is exactly what fans will love

Blue Man Hoop's Peter O'Keefe argues that Golden State Warriors fans should support the front office's reported demand for draft capital in any potential trade for Milwaukee Bucks center Myles Turner. While the Warriors face frontcourt uncertainty with Kristaps Porzingis reportedly heading toward retirement, Golden State is reportedly reluctant to take on Turner without extra compensation.

O'Keefe writes that Turner's remaining contract of nearly $57 million over two years would damage Golden State's future salary-cap flexibility. Furthermore, any trade would likely require including injured guard Moses Moody to match salaries, reinforcing O'Keefe's view that general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. is right to demand assets.
