The NBA is always better when those two are on quality teams. There are moves out there that can make the Golden State and Los Angeles better without jeopardizing their franchises' futures. Here are the two trades that make too much sense not to happen.

Do the Lakers and Warriors owe it to LeBron James and Stephen Curry to trade away a distant first-round pick to give them a better shot at winning a fifth championship?

The Warriors have been rumored to be back in trying to acquire Jimmy Butler, but they are also looking at Zach LaVine.

The Golden State Warriors previously appeared to be out on a potential Jimmy Butler move, though the organization may revisit that stance ahead of the Feb.

As the clock ticks toward the deadline, the Warriors have floated a protected first-rounder as a sweetener in potential deals.

According to NBA reporters Anthony Slater and Marcus Thompson II of The Athletic, Zach LaVine is viewed by some within the Golden State Warriors as a “safer option” than Jimmy Butler. Butler has requested a trade from the Miami Heat.
