Warriors show interest in Pritchard’s trade

The Golden State Warriors reportedly showed interest in trading the Boston Celtics guard, Payton Pritchard. 

According to Brian Robb (of Mass Live), the Celtics have no interest in moving Pritchard, but because of his three-point shooting skills, the Warriors and other playoff teams are eyeing him. Despite the fact that the debate over having Pritchard appears to be one-sided.

A number of other playoff teams and the Warriors asked for the player’s availability as he had not been consistent in the rotation this season.

The Celtics keep on enhancing their team, and they add depth to the backcourt. Due to this, Pritchard is more of a spare player than a key contributor in any game.

The Boston Celtics are trying to build the best team. With the help of Pritchard, they can win and make a huge impact on the team. He has already helped Boston score 116.2 points this season. 

What is appealing about Pritchard?

Payton Pritchard is appealing to the Warriors as he is a 40.1 percent career 3-point shooter. Also, he earned $2.2 million this year, which is a friendly deal for the team. Other playoff teams are interested in getting him on their team. But the Celtics seem least interested in trading the 25-year-old guard. 

Pritchard is a potential player for the team. He has a strong motor, making him a perfect fit for the playoff rotation. He is the most suitable player for the backcourt, along with Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Jordan Poole.

Injuries are common among the players; one or another player suffers an injury every season, like Brown, who is out due to a groin injury. No one can tell when it can strike the backcourt, and players like Pritchard become key contributors in any game.
