The Golden State Warriors were recently mentioned as a possible trade suitor for Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams. NBA insider Jake Fischer made the link between Williams and the Warriors, via Bleacher Report. “One name that would be fascinating, that I know his team is more willing than ever to discuss him in a trade, and if you're looking at names that would potentially be someone who you could grow and develop a little bit… Is there an opportunity for you to look at someone like Patrick Williams in Chicago?” -via Clutch Points / November 27, 2024

Later, Fischer mentioned that Williams isn't on the Warriors' wishlist, and he was instead a fascinating name, which the NBA Insider believes to be an attainable trade piece. Fisher doubled down on the 6-foot-8 forward's intriguing value, saying, "he has lottery-pick upside…and has never truly tapped into that potential." -via Pippen Ain't Easy / November 23, 2024
