The Golden State Warriors have been hoping to make a big move this summer but have yet to significantly up their roster. While they have made smaller moves, such as trading for Kyle Anderson and Buddy Hield and adding De'Anthony Milton, they don't currently appear to be much better than the team that missed the playoffs last season. However, a proposed deal by Bleacher Report's Eric Pincus, which also involves the Sacramento Kings and Utah Jazz, could be just the kind of deal that the Warriors need.

The Utah Jazz have seemingly closed the door on the possibility of trading their best player but they may be hoping that Golden State ups their offer in an attempt to get the Jazz to change their mind. The Sacramento Kings may be key to that, with the potential deal including them as the third team, with the third team often receiving a useful player or an asset for helping to make a deal happen.

That could potentially get the Kings to help their rivals but would the hypothetical deal work for the Warriors and Jazz? Next, we'll take a look at the trade and then examine whether it makes sense for each team.
