WARRIORS BOMBSHELL: Golden State Ready to SACRIFICE Moses Moody in SHOCKING $60M Trade That Could CHANGE Everything!
The Golden State Warriors are exploring trade options to address their center position, with ESPN's Bobby Marks proposing a deal that would send Moses Moody to the New York Knicks in exchange for Mitchell Robinson.
The proposed trade addresses Golden State's identified needs for rim protection and frontcourt depth, as the Warriors look to bolster their interior defense heading into the 2025-26 season.
Robinson, 27, has served as New York's defensive anchor when healthy, averaging 7.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks per game throughout his career. His rim protection abilities would fill a crucial gap for the Warriors, while his offensive rebounding could provide additional possessions for Golden State's offense.
However, Robinson presents offensive challenges that could complicate his fit with the Warriors' system. The center has never attempted a three-point shot in 377 career regular-season games and shoots just 52% from the free-throw line, making him a potential liability in late-game situations.
Moody, 23, is coming off a career year in his fourth NBA season, averaging 9.8 points while shooting 37.4% from three-point range. Despite his development, his playoff minutes decreased significantly, playing just 9.4 minutes per game in the second round against Minnesota.
The Warriors signed Moody to a three-year, $37.5 million extension in October 2024, but his position behind Brandin Podziemski and alongside Buddy Hield on the depth chart makes him a viable trade candidate.
Robinson has one year remaining on his four-year, $60 million contract, providing Golden State flexibility if the fit doesn't work as expected.
