Steph Curry needs help. 
This fact was made abundantly clear in the Golden State Warriors' 4-1 series loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the second round of the NBA playoffs.
The Warriors surprisingly took Game 1 in Minnesota, but they ended up losing four straight with Curry sidelined due to a hamstring injury.
It appears that the Warriors' front office is already bracing itself for what could be a very eventful offseason—one that could potentially involve the arrival of some reinforcements as this team looks to contend for a title again next season.
One player who is currently being linked to a move away from his current team is 6-foot-10 forward Michael Porter Jr, who is currently under contract with the Denver Nuggets after signing a five-year max extension worth at least $173 million back in 2021.
The Nuggets also suffered a second-round exit this year, and there has been talk of a potential roster shake-up in Denver as well. Porter Jr. is one of the names who have popped up as potential trade candidates in the offseason.
Should he hit the trade market, Porter Jr. will have no shortage of suitors around the NBA. The good news for Warriors fans is that well-known online sportsbook Bovada has named their team as the favorites to land the former Missouri star this summer.

As the above post indicates, the Warriors currently have the best odds to secure the services of Porter Jr. at +300. The Chicago Bulls (+400) and the Los Angeles Lakers (+600) round out the top 3 in what is looking like a tight race for the 26-year-old stud.
It is worth noting, however, that Porter Jr. remains a key figure in Denver's current roster. They will likely ask for a lot in return for him should the Nuggets decide to place him on the trade block.
At this point, it remains to be seen if the Warriors are in possession of the necessary assets to make a blockbuster trade deal work, and more importantly, if they are willing to potentially meet the Nuggets' asking price for Porter Jr.
