The Golden State Warriors continue to be linked to activity on the trade market, ahead of the February trade deadline. This only makes sense, as four of Golden State's five highest-paid players are currently injured (Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler III, Kristaps Porzingis and Moses Moody), with Draymond Green being the only exception.
Previously, the Warriors had been linked to a frontcourt addition in the form of Jalen Smith, who is enjoying a career year with the 1-9 Chicago Bulls. NBA insider Jake Fischer continued to add fuel to the fire on those rumors Thursday, saying, "That’s someone that I think is high on Golden State’s list."
In 10 games to begin the year, Smith is playing 24 minutes per game, averaging 12.8 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists
and 1.1 blocks. However, with Nic Claxton having made his return from injury, Smith may see his role with the Bulls begin to diminish.
