During free agency, Alec Burks agreed to join the Oklahoma City Thunder, although he eventually signed for the Warriors after OKC let him reconsider the deal following the departures of Paul George and Russell Westbrook.

Nevertheless, Burks has played just four times this season, and during a recent edition of the Hoop Collective podcast, ESPN's Brian Windhorst revealed that the 28-year-old is likely to be traded in the coming weeks:

Some of these guys that they've signed, I don't think they really have much use anymore, I think we're going to see the Warriors make a series of trades. He (Alec Burks) is the guy I think will be almost certainly be traded. No. 1, he's easy to trade because he makes the minimum salary.

Burks played 34 times for the Cleveland Cavaliers last season, before ending the campaign as part of the Sacramento roster. Through four games with the Warriors, he has averaged 8.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 21.5 min
