The Golden State Warriors finally made a move late on Wednesday night, shipping off Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield to the Atlanta Hawks for Kristaps Porzingis. It was a surprising trade for most fans, and even for Kuminga himself, but it nonetheless closed the book on the entire Kuminga saga that has been at the forefront of this Warriors' season. However, Mike Dunleavy Jr. and the rest of the Warriors' front office weren't done with just that one trade.

Just minutes after the Kuminga-Porzingis trade hit the news, it was then reported that the Warriors had made another trade. This time, they dealt with the Toronto Raptors to send third-year center Trayce Jackson-Davis to the North in exchange for a 2026 second-round pick that comes from the Los Angeles Lakers.

For the Warriors, it seems relatively straightforward why they made this trade. With Porzingis coming to town to fill in that starting big man role when he's healthy, it pushes both Al Horford and Quinten Post to the bench and leaves little room for Jackson-Davis outside of garbage time minutes or extensive injuries. 

By trading Jackson-Davis, the Warriors pick up what will likely end up being a mid-to-late second-round pick, depending on how the Lakers perform the rest of the year, and free up a roster spot moving forward. 

It's an unfortunate loss for their 2023 second-round pick that looked relatively promising in his rookie season, averaging 7.9 points and 5.0 rebounds in his 68 games played. However, his role, and thus his production, has since dropped, especially once Post emerged last year, and Horford arrived this offseason. Jackson-Davis is a couple of weeks away from turning 26 years old, and he may be able to play a role as a backup center for the Raptors, especially considering how injured their starting center, Jakob Poeltl, has been this year.

For the Raptors, outside of what Jackson-Davis could potentially bring to the court, the trade also utilizes the extra roster space they had. Jackson-Davis' salary is also small enough to allow them to stay under the luxury tax, essentially deciding that Jackson-Davis would be more valuable than waiting for the offseason and taking a shot with the second-rounder.

When everyone is fully healthy, the Warriors' rotation seems pretty set.

Steph Curry, Moses Moody, Draymond Green, and Kristaps Porzingis would likely be guaranteed starters alongside either Brandin Podziemski or De'Anthony Melton. The one that doesn't start would be the lead guard off the bench to pair with Post and Horford as the bigs, Gui Santos operating as the forward, and Will Richard as the final main rotation wing.

Gary Payton II and a healthy Seth Curry can also fight for reserve minutes depending on what each game calls for. Additionally, Pat Spencer's two-way contract can officially be converted to a standard contract for the Warriors since they cleared two roster spots with the two trades, meaning he can stay on the team beyond the 50-game limit that was about to apply.

It remains to be seen exactly how healthy Porzingis is and what this team will look like, but nonetheless, the cast is set for the Warriors' push for the NBA playoffs.
