US reporter: Warriors eager to make a blockbuster deal, targets include James, Durant, Antetokounmpo

According to a joint report by NBA reporters Marc Stein and Jack Fisher, the Golden State Warriors are actively seeking to make a blockbuster deal. They hope to introduce an All-Star partner for Stephen Curry to cope with the changes in the competitive landscape after the Lakers got Luka Doncic.

The Golden State Warriors are currently ranked 11th in the Western Conference with a record of 25 wins and 24 losses, and the playoff situation is extremely grim. In the eyes of Warriors executives, Curry, 36, urgently needs a star player with strong combat effectiveness to partner with him to improve the team's overall competitiveness.

Mark Stein and Jack Fisher made it clear that the Warriors have contacted several All-Star players including Jimmy Butler, LeBron James and Kevin Durant, and are seriously considering the possibility of reuniting with Durant. The Phoenix Suns are also considering listening to trade offers for Durant after the acquisition of Jimmy Butler was blocked.

Another reporter, Brett Siegel, added that the Warriors also discussed the feasibility of acquiring other star players, including Hornets guard LaMelo Ball, Bucks power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Pelicans forwards Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram.

"The Warriors have contacted almost every All-Star player," ESPN reporter Shams Charania also revealed on Monday's "The Pat McAfee Show." "Any All-Star player you mentioned, the Warriors may have contacted. For example, Paul George, of course, also includes LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Jimmy Butler and other players. They are actively contacting all players with the goal of finding a superstar who can partner with Stephen Curry. This is also another subplot before the trade deadline."
