Monta Ellis and the Golden State Warriors are 7-7. With a cast featuring Ellis, Stephen Curry and David Lee, the Warriors should be challenging for a playoff spot at season's end.
But, this team has some problems they can fix through trades. The Warriors have a couple expiring contracts that some teams would love to have. If the Warriors are willing to pull the trigger and trade for an Andre Iguodala type of player, there's no reason they can't make some noise in the playoffs this year.
