NBA trade rumors 2016: Golden State Warriors going for Greg Monroe?

The Golden State Warriors have done more than half of their reinforcement process with the addition of All-Star player Kevin Durant, but the time has come to rebuild the center lineup.

The addition of the former Oklahoma City Thunder superstar resulted in the departure of Andrew Bogut, Festus Ezeli and Marreese Speights, leaving only Anderson Varejao at the center.

The Dubs rectified this with the addition of Zaza Pachulia and this year's 30th overall draft pick Damian Jones, who is expected to go through the D-League or Developmental League first.

Now, Golden State is reportedly doing something about that by recruiting Greg Monroe of the Milwaukee Bucks, who might even end up starting the Warriors instead of Pachulia.

It is unknown if the Warriors have taken a step to bring Monroe on board, although it appears that a man of his talents will fit right in. Notably, Monroe also had a hard time jiving with the Bucks.

That being said, it might not be all that difficult to convince the Bucks to give him away. Blue Man Hoop says that trading off Shaun Livingston and Andre Iguodala should do the trick.

In other Golden State Warriors trade rumors, there are still persistent reports that Draymond Green will be out of the Dubs uniform this season due to the chain of controversies he has been involving himself in.

Rumor has it that the Warriors are looking to trade Green for Anthony Davis of New Orleans Pelicans instead.

However, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has already said that while Green can sometimes be a troublemaker, they have found a way to work things out.

"Draymond is going to make you pull your hair out sometimes, but he's such a great guy and a team guy and he's got such a huge heart that he's always going to come back around," Kerr told ESPN.

"Every once in a while, there's a hiccup and we address it but he always gets back on track," Kerr went on to say.

Green is one of the superstars that helped the Dubs reached the finals and his talents are definitely vital to the Golden State.

The team has already expressed their plans on having him back, so it looks like he's not going anywhere.
