The Golden State Warriors are looking to make significant roster changes after a disappointing 2025-26 NBA season. Former NBA player Jeff Teague suggested on the 'Club 520 Podcast' that the Warriors should consider trading star forward Draymond Green to acquire Joel Embiid, the 2023 MVP from the Philadelphia 76ers. Teague emphasized that the Warriors lack the assets to pursue other stars like Giannis Antetokounmpo or Kawhi Leonard, making Embiid the most viable option. The Warriors struggled last season due to injuries, including to All-Star Jimmy Butler and star player Steph Curry, which contributed to their 10th-place finish in the Western Conference. This performance led to their second missed postseason in three years, highlighting the need for a roster overhaul to support Curry's championship ambitions.
