NBA Trade Rumors: 5 unlikely moves the Golden State Warriors could make this off-season that can shake up the league 

NBA Trade Rumors: Andre Iguodala to return to Golden State Warriors

NBA Trade Rumors have suggested that the Golden State Warriors want Andre Iguodala back next season.

The Golden State Warriors parted ways with Andre Iguodala who was a key contributor to all of their NBA Championship runs. Now, many reports say that they want him back.

The justification has apparently been that the Golden State Warriors are looking to offload Iguodala's massive contract from their salary cap, planning to bring him back the next season on wages that are more reasonable for the franchise. Unfortunately for Golden State Warriors fans, this move has no basis in reality.

If the 36-year-old is willing to play on lower wages, he would not have left the franchise in the first place. Moreover, with Iguodala looking like a key veteran piece for the Miami Heat, it is unlikely the franchise will want to trade him away.

However, at the same time, we must say that if this move happens, it would be an incredible one. Andre Iguodala is already used to the system; he is an intelligent ball-handler and has come up big in countless clutch moments on both ends of the floor for the franchise.

With the player still as productive as ever, he could add significantly to the Golden State Warriors' current roster.

NBA Trade Rumors: Kelly Oubre Jr. to move to Golden State Warriors

The Phoenix Suns are very unlikely to trade Kelly Oubre Jr. to the Golden State Warriors.

The Phoenix Suns' rising star Kelly Oubre Jr. has been linked with the Golden State Warriors countless times in NBA trade rumors.

A player who has proven himself on both ends of the floor, Kelly Oubre Jr., would be a dream pick up for the Warriors as it would add to their roster that lacks elite forwards. Unfortunately for Warriors' fans, the Suns front office has made it clear that they intend to keep Oubre and form a big-three around him with Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton.

Even if they do agree to let him go, the Suns would likely ask for too much in return for their budding star. However, considering the leaps Kelly Oubre Jr has taken in recent years, if the Golden State Warriors' front office were to pull this off, it would increase the ceiling of the franchise dramatically and put the entire league on notice.

NBA Trade Rumors: The Golden State Warriors are 'hunting' for Joel Embiid

The Golden State Warriors have been looking to bring in Joel Embiid, according to NBA Trade Rumors.

While this NBA trade rumor isn't impossible, it is still far from likely to happen.

The Philadelphia 76ers crashed out of the NBA Playoffs in the first round. Since then, there has been an unending level of speculation on whether 76ers stars will be back for another year. According to NBA trade rumors, the Golden State Warriors are looking to pounce on this opportunity and go after Joel Embiid.

If this trade were to happen, it would not only give the Golden State Warriors a reliable third option in offense but would also provide a potential cornerstone for the team's defense. However, with the franchise coming out publicly to say that they intend to do what they can to keep their superstars together, it is extremely unlikely that this move could take place.
