NBA Trade Rumors: Golden State Warriors could sign $110 million Cleveland Cavaliers duo to bolster squad in blockbuster 3-way deal including the Miami Heat

The Golden State Warriors may finally address their long-standing frontcourt issues by trading Buddy Hield for Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen this offseason. With not a lot of options on the table, the Warriors have often found themselves being restricted to limited play styles—a strategy that may need revisiting.

Why the Golden State Warriors Need a Big Man

The Golden State Warriors’ lack of a reliable starting-caliber center has been a glaring weakness for years. As noted by Heavy’s Adam Taylor: "The Golden State Warriors’ need for a talented big man has been apparent for multiple years. These days, Steve Kerr can’t rely on his aging team to use its skill and speed to compensate for playing small." (H/t: Sporting News)A trade for Allen could provide Golden State with the rim protection and interior presence they’ve been missing.

Proposed Trade Details

Here’s the potential multi-team deal suggested by Taylor:

This trade would give the Golden State Warriors a proven center while allowing the Cleveland Cavaliers and Heat to reshape their rosters.

What Jarrett Allen Brings to the Golden State Warriors

Despite a shaky playoff performance, Allen’s regular-season contributions make him an attractive target: - Elite Rebounding: Averaged 9.7 rebounds per game. - Efficient Scoring: Shot 70.6% from the field, averaging 13.5 points. - Defensive Presence: Provides rim protection (0.9 blocks per game) and allows Draymond Green to shift back to power forward.

Allen’s skills as a lob threat and post defender would significantly upgrade Golden State’s frontcourt.

Buddy Hield’s Uncertain Future

Trading Hield might not be as big a loss as some think. While he started strong as a three-point specialist, his shooting dipped to 37% by season’s end. His inconsistency makes him expendable in a deal for a player like Allen.

This trade makes sense for the Warriors, who need a long-term solution at center. Allen’s rebounding and defensive skills would complement their system, while moving Hield and other assets could be a worthwhile gamble.
