5. Moses Moody, Golden State Warriors

The Golden State Warriors may not be done with offseason moves as they attempt to return to the playoffs in the 2024-25 season after falling short last season. Straddling the line between the two timelines and trying to extend their historic dynasty run has backfired. They don't have enough pieces to contend for a championship, and Steph Curry (36) and Draymond Green's (34) windows are closing in.

The Warriors should take a firm stance and go all-in on one timeline. To a certain extent, it's reminiscent of the Blazers' situation with Damian Lillard. Although the Warriors have multiple championships to show for it, which could make them more content to let Curry ride off into the sunset as a Warrior. If that's the case, the Blazers should target some of the Warriors' younger talent, including Moses Moody.

Bleacher Report's Dan Favale had an article about realistic NBA offseason trades that can still happen. In the piece, Favale proposes that the Blazers acquire Moody and Reggie Jackson in a three-team deal, giving up Robert Williams III, Rayan Rupert, and a 2028 second-round pick. That seems like too many assets to give up. The Blazers would be selling low on RW3 and Rupert, a promising two-way player who Portland should continue developing. But if the Blazers could get the asking price down from what Favale proposed, they should consider pursuing Moody.
