Brandin Podziemski's leap leaves the Golden State Warriors with no reason to trade for another guard despite previous doubts over their backcourt rotation.
Writer Peter O'Keefe argues that Brandin Podziemski's recent surge has resolved the Golden State Warriors' backcourt concerns alongside Stephen Curry, eliminating the need to target a guard via trade. Podziemski scored 25 points in a 138-87 blowout victory over the New Orleans Pelicans, helping extend Golden State's winning streak to eight games.
Through nine games, Podziemski is averaging 16.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 4.2 assists while shooting 40.8% from three-point range. O'Keefe contends that the front office should instead prioritize acquiring a starting-level center in any potential Kristaps Porzingis trade.
