As the Warriors prepare to try returning to contention next season with a healthy Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, they are interested in stockpiling assets. A late first-round or even early second-round pick could conceivably be enough to land Burks.
Alec Burks interested in re-signing with Warriors
Alec Burks has made it clear that even in this deeply afflicted season he enjoys being a Warrior and is interested in remaining beyond his one-year contract, to see what it’s like to play with the fully restored roster expected to grace the court next October.
Several teams in recent weeks have expressed interest in Burks, according to league sources, and some have gone so far to scout him. That’s not likely to change. There is demand for veteran, low-maintenance wings unbothered by circumstances and capable of creating offense for both themselves and teammates.
The Warriors, for obvious reasons, continue to be very much involved in trade buzz around the league. The general belief is they’ll make at least one move and maybe two before the noon deadline on Feb. 6.
Burks remains the most likely to be dealt. He has been one of the Warriors’ best players and his value might increase near the deadline. The Warriors are all ears if a playoff team comes looking for a veteran bench piece who can score.
The Warriors are aiming to make moves on the edges, and several veteran players, such as Glenn Robinson III and Alec Burks, have been discussed in deals, according to league sources.
