Staying quiet: Warriors stand pat at NBA trade deadline

With the rest of the league up in a frenzy, the Warriors did what was expected ahead of Thursday's noon PT NBA trade deadline.

They let a handful of other teams earn trade grades -- good and bad -- and stood pat, NBC Sports Bay Area's Monte Poole confirmed. 

The writing was on the wall the whole time, too. 

Steve Kerr and Steph Curry both said Wednesday night after the Warriors' blowout loss to the Utah Jazz that they didn't expect Golden State to make a trade. Draymond Green previously said he'd be shocked if it happened, and general manager Bob Myers didn't show any urgency in firing off a trade before the deadline. 

The Warriors (41-14) are second in the Western Conference. At this point, they're much more concerned with getting healthy than making a splash. They just finished a nine-game win streak in which Draymond Green missed all of those games, Andre Iguodala missed all but one, Nemanja Bjelica missed five and Klay Thompson and Otto Porter Jr. each missed three.

The last trade the Warriors made was on Aug. 7, 2021, when they sent Eric Paschall to the Jazz for a protected 2026 second-round pick. Paschall scored seven points in 19 minutes off the bench Wednesday night against the Warriors.
