Myers: Warriors unlikely to make move at NBA trade deadline

The Warriors recently found out they would be without backup center Festus Ezeli for at least six weeks, but will his injury make Golden State a buyer at the NBA trade deadline?

In an interview with 95.7 The Game on Wednesday afternoon, general manager Bob Myers made it clear that he is content with the team's roster as currently constructed.

"It'd have to be something unbelievable to really mess with the chemistry and the personnel on the team," Myers said, via Diamond Leung of the Bay Area News Group.

Reserve big man Marreese Speights has played well in Ezeli's absence, tallying back-to-back 15-point games on 55 percent shooting in Golden State's last two contests. 

The frontcourt depth behind Speights is lacking, though, as James Michael McAdoo remains sidelined with a toe injury and Jason Thompson has not impressed in limited playing time. 

The injury history of starting center Andrew Bogut is also a concern with Ezeli out. Bogut has sat out seven games this season, and missed 80 games across three prior seasons with the Warriors.

Ezeli, who was averaging career-highs across the board (7.5 PPG, 5.9 RPG, 1.2 BPG), underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee on Monday.
