Oubre played for them during the 2020-21 campaign, when he averaged 15.4 points and 1.6 threes,\u201d Bailey wrote. \u201cThe Warriors need more punch off the bench and currently only have nine players under contract.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Though his one season in Golden State didn\u2019t lead to championship success, Oubre was the third-highest scorer on that iteration of the team. As the Sixers look to be in a precarious situation with their injuries and younger players, Oubre could be a candidate to be traded to a contender this summer or before the deadline, according to Jake Fischer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Warriors Quiet Offseason<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">More than two months into free agency, the only roster changes made by Golden State have been losing Kevon Looney to the New Orleans Pelicans. As of early September, the Kuminga holdout has dominated their summer, and a deal still isn\u2019t close to being made, according to recent reports.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">While the Warriors <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">are still expected<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> to sign former Boston Celtics center Al Horford and <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">resign<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> De\u2019Anthony Melton, the franchise has <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">still been<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> quiet when it comes to player signings, now just less than a month before training camp.<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Golden State <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">has<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> reportedly <\/span>offered Kuminga the <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> qualifying offer, which would <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">mean he would make<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> around $7.9 million next season and <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">become<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> a free agent in the summer of 2026.<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> But while he wants a deal closer to $20-$30 million over multiple years, the team may have better success trading the young forward for a piece better suited to slide into their roster with championship aspirations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Kuminga has been mock traded to teams around the league, but while Golden State will want to find an adequate replacement for both his scoring and bringing a greater two-way presence, there\u2019s one name that has yet to <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">be mentioned<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Kelly Oubre As A Kuminga Situation Fix<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In steps Oubre, who over the past few seasons has been one of the more under-the-radar scorers in the league. He\u2019s averaged at least 15 points over the last seven seasons for the Warriors, Phoenix Suns, Charlotte Hornets, and Sixers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">His shooting numbers have room for improvement, but as seen with those who play with Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, the floor spacing is on a different level when it comes to the Warriors. Additionally, his athleticism and paint presence on both sides of the court would be a plus for this Golden State roster.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cAt least in theory, a downhill scoring threat like Oubre should be able to pull some defenses inward and away from shooters like Stephen Curry, Buddy Hield and Brandin Podziemski,\u201d Bailey wrote.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Oubre is in the last year of his deal, making roughly $8.4 million for the Sixers, but could replace Kuminga as a more experienced option on the wing for the Warriors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As Fischer reported, the Sixers are reportedly interested in moving on from Oubre<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, as with<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> the recent surgeries of Joel Embiid and Paul George, the franchise <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">looks<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> to be heading into a new era led by Tyrese Maxey, Jared McCain, and V.J. Edgecombe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Golden State has been quiet all summer, but now with Oubre potentially available, he could be a fix to what has been a months-long issue for the team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Eli Gregorski is a sports journalist covering the NBA for Heavy Sports.
