\"Warriors\u2019<\/picture><\/div>
Head coach Steve Kerr said the Warriors aren\u2019t in position to just stand pat at the trade deadline.<\/p>\n

Jed Jacobsohn, FRE \/ Associated Press<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With three games remaining before Thursday\u2019s NBA trade deadline, the Golden State Warriors realize reinforcements are needed for a legitimate playoff run against the top teams in the Western Conference.<\/p>\n

On one hand, head coach Steve Kerr said he speaks daily with general manager Mike Dunleavy about the roster makeup and any trade discussions. On the other hand, Kerr said the Warriors, as is, still have the talent to compete for the playoffs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do. I think we\u2019ve shown that,\u201d Kerr said before Friday night\u2019s game against Phoenix. \u201cBut we\u2019ve also shown that we don\u2019t have enough to separate ourselves from the rest of the West. The point is, we\u2019re not in a position where we can just say, \u2018No, we\u2019re good, let\u2019s stand pat.\u2019 That\u2019s the reality of where we are.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Warriors play Monday against Orlando and Wednesday in Utah in advance of the deadline. Among the stars who could be moved are Chicago\u2019s Nikola Vucevic and Zach LaVine, Brooklyn\u2019s Cam Johnson and Miami\u2019s Jimmy Butler.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there\u2019s something that makes sense, he\u2019s going to do it,\u201d Kerr said of Dunleavy. \u201cIf not, then I\u2019m very comfortable going forward with this team because I know what we\u2019re capable of, and I know the guys. Hopefully we can capture a little more momentum here.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Warriors carried a 24-23 record into Friday night\u2019s game against the Suns and were coming off a stunning win over Oklahoma City, the conference\u2019s winningest team. Forward\u00a0Draymond Green (calf injury) is expected to return next week, forward Jonathan\u00a0Kuminga (ankle injury) after the trade deadline.<\/p>\n

Asked whether the win over the Thunder could provide momentum in trade talks, Kerr said, \u201cI don\u2019t think you look at one or two games and determine everything based on that. It\u2019s always body of work.\u201d<\/p>\n

A key talking point for management is taking advantage of point guard Stephen Curry\u2019s window. The 36-year-old has two years remaining on his contract.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re in the business of winning, and we\u2019re a .500 team,\u201d Kerr said, \u201cso none of us can sit here and say this is good enough, and that means we\u2019re all vulnerable.\u201d<\/p>\n
