What this NBA Draft class lacks in star power, it might be trying to make up for in trade rumors, as the season just ended yet the stove is absolutely burning after the Mikal Bridges trade last night.
Stars could be on the move, and one Golden State Warriors veteran is now seeing his name surface in rumors as the team is going big-game hunting.
The Athletic’s Anthony Slater reported that Moses Moody could be on the move, saying “If a big trade happened, at least one of them is in it. Moses Moody was relatively available at the deadline. They were looking to make smaller moves at the deadline. They were trying to get in on Alex Caruso. It’s possible Moody might have moved in that deal.”

The Warriors have been popping up in rumors related to the Paul George sweepstakes, as the Dubs could be angling to offer PG a 4-year max, which would require some creative maneuvering with the current roster and likely require certain guys like Moody or perhaps Gary Payton II to be jettisoned elsewhere.
Moody is still just 22 years old and has been gradually improving as the Warriors gave him more minutes last season, and the third-year guard posted 8.1 points per game on 36 percent shooting from three-point range.
Moody is heading into the last year of his rookie contract before reaching restricted free agency next offseason, and if the Warriors are looking to bring in Paul George or re-sign Klay Thompson, there is going to be a cap casualty or two on this roster.
Keep an eye out for Moody’s name on draft night.
