After falling short of postseason play for the second time in three years, the Golden State Warriors will likely look to upgrade the roster over the offseason.

One way they could do that is with a blockbuster offseason trade.

Warriors predicted to land Kawhi Leonard in offseason trade

In a recent article, Zach Buckley of Bleacher Report pitched the Warriors as a potential suitor and landing spot for Los Angeles Clippers star forward Kawhi Leonard in an offseason trade.

The Warriors were interested in Leonard prior to the trade deadline in February, but no deal ever came to fruition. Perhaps the sides will be able to work something out this time around.

"Leonard feels almost a little too perfect for this team. The 34-year-old (35 in June) is in the same fight with Father Time as Curry and carries as many availability concerns as anyone. At the same time, Leonard remains a brilliant basketball player who impacts both ends of the floor like few others in the league," Buckley wrote.
