The Golden State Warriors are considering a trade for Moses Moody as a strategy to clear salary cap space for LeBron James in free agency. Trading Moody, who has a contract worth $12.5 million, could allow the Warriors to create approximately $38 million in space, enhancing their ability to make additional signings. This could facilitate an offer to LeBron and also accommodate Draymond Green's potential new contract.
