The Warriors is paying them for services rendered over the course of the last decade and no other team has an incentive to do that. If I ran the Warriors' front office, I would be all for trading those guys on halfway decent terms, but I don't think such trade offers will be forthcoming. The Warriors are who they are and they do have enough talent to make the playoffs if things go reasonably well. I don't see this as a terrible team, but I do see it as a team that faces the curse of being a lower tier playoff team until it rips off the band aid and tries to rebuild.
I think if you package the two of them with Kuminga (and maybe Moody) and send them to a young team that is in desperate need of maturity...like the Detroit Pistons...it might work. The Pistons have an average age of 23.6, they're the third youngest team in the NBA. Some old hands like Draymond and Klay can assist them. Throw in Looney.
Interestingly, the youngest (OKC Thunder) is 23-10. Maybe the Spurs want them, they're 5-29. Heck, go to any of the teams that are upside down. There are six teams with 11 or fewer wins.
