The Golden State Warriors are the current champions of the NBA but they aren’t looking like it.
They are the seventh team in the West and finally have a record above .500 at 28-26.
But that is a far cry from the top of the standings and they will need to make some changes if they wish to redeem themselves.
Despite their problems, they have multiple stars they see as off-limits, so who would they be open to trade?
The Warriors are willing to include their young players, James Wiseman and Moses Moody in particular, in trade offers, but Jonathan Kuminga is considered “off limits," per @MattMooreTAN. pic.twitter.com/arHkuN0U06

NBA writer Matt Moore is reporting that the Warriors are willing to include players such as James Wiseman and Moses Moody in trade offers but they will not budge on Jonathan Kuminga, who is untouchable in any negotiations.
The idea of Wiseman or Moody moving from the team isn’t surprising.
Moody is averaging 5 points and 1.7 rebounds a game, which is a step up from his rookie season but still not substantial.
He gets an average of just about 14 minutes a game and has only started in three games.
As for Wiseman, his story is a bit more complicated.
His 6.9 points and 3.5 rebounds are clearly disappointing especially when you consider the hype that was around him.
He sat out of the game during all of last season due to injury and there was hope that he’d return in 2022-23 and again produce more than 11 points and 5.8 rebounds a game, as he did in his first season.
Although the team and fans wanted a lot from Wiseman, it quickly became clear that he wasn’t going to perform as they wished.
Therefore, a trade for him wouldn’t shock anyone.
But which teams would be interested in grabbing either Wiseman, Moody, or both of them?
The Warriors are willing to offer them but is any team eager to add them?
