Following a 104-94 loss to the San Antonio Spurs, the Warriors entered a five-game losing streak. This streak ended with a narrow 99-93 victory over the Houston Rockets.

Amid these difficulties, Hoops Hype’s Michael Scotto reported that at least four Warriors players are reportedly on the trading block as the February trade deadline draws nearer.
“Forward Jonathan Kuminga is the young asset who’s drawn the most trade interest for Golden State over the years and is expected to do so again ahead of restricted free agency this summer. executives across the league believe Moody is a name to monitor on the trade market with a moveable salary.“ Scotto wrote in his recent reports.
According to Scotto, the four potential trade candidates for the Warriors include Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody, De’Anthony Melton, and Gary Payton II.
