The Golden State Warriors could be just days away from shaking up the roster and making substantial changes.
After a very troubled and painful first half of the season, most analysts agree that the Warriors could commit to trades before the upcoming deadline.
For ESPN, Kendrick Perkins created a list of teams that need to make a move soon and he placed Golden State at the top.
Behind the Warriors are the Oklahoma City Thunder, Los Angeles Lakers, Atlanta Hawks, and Milwaukee Bucks.

Anyone paying attention would agree that something has to change within the Warriors.
With an 18-22 record and a number of really painful, avoidable losses, the team isn’t anywhere near where it wants to be.
From injuries to sloppy shot-making and porous defense, the Warriors have a ton of problems.
There are so many, in fact, that it’s not entirely clear what approach they will take to fix them.
Over the last few weeks, there has been a growing certainty that the team will make some trades shortly but it’s not entirely clear which players will be sent away.
Inside reporting has stated that the front office is comfortable saying goodbye to literally any player as long as it isn’t Stephen Curry.
That gives them a lot of opportunities and choices but also a lot to consider.
Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, and even Klay Thompson and Draymond Green could be leaving.
Perkins and many others think the time has come for the Warriors to change things up.
They will probably do that but no one knows exactly what the front office will commit to.
