Warriors eye Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren as trade targets

Summary

The Golden State Warriors, assessing their current roster's chances for the upcoming NBA season, are reportedly considering Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren from the Oklahoma City Thunder as potential trade targets.

If the Thunder's performance does not meet expectations, a trade involving either Williams or Holmgren could become likely, benefiting the Warriors as they look to maximize Stephen Curry's remaining championship window.
