[Fischer] The Warriors are one of those teams out there thinking “Are we sure Jokic isn’t going to become available next summer? We could have max cap space and we have Steph Curry”. They believe that they will be able to attract, whether it be a trade or on the open market, someone big next summer.
“The Warriors are one of those teams out there that are like looking around and rubbing their fingers together and thinking, ‘Are we sure [Nikola] Jokic isn’t going to become available next summer?’ Like, they are one of those teams that hopes, ‘We could have max cap space, we’ve got Steph Curry.’ And as I wrote in that story yesterday, the Warriors, there was a quote from someone who’s around the building and knows the building. It says, the Warriors still believe that they are a destination,” Fischer said.
“So they didn’t get Giannis [Antetokounmpo]. Kevin Durant didn’t want to go back there a couple of trade deadlines ago. But they believe that, just like Jimmy [Butler] ended up being the guy who did come, even though he got hurt, it was working pretty well before he went down. They still think that they will be able to attract, whether it be a trade or on the open market, someone big next summer.”
