OAKLAND — The Warriors enter Thursday night’s NBA Draft without a pick. Their first-rounder is in Utah and their second-rounder has bounced around to Atlanta, both conveyed via the Andre Iguodala sign-and-trade four offseasons ago.

“The final credit card debt (from that transaction),” Bob Myers called it.

Warriors at No. 2: Breaking down how LaMelo Ball’s passing genius would fit Golden State But even without a pick, the front office remains active. Last year, the Warriors gave Milwaukee $2.4 million for the 38th pick, where they snagged Patrick McCaw. This year, they’re angling to do something similar.

Myers has a big white board in his office. All the prospects are listed. Some of them have a big red ‘B’ next to their name.

“There are guys we would buy a pick for,” Myers said. “If you snuck in there, it would be fun to see.”

The NBA has a financial limit for these kind of transactions. This year it is $3.6 million. You cannot send out or receive more than that in an NBA calendar year, which ends on June 30th.

The Warriors haven’t sent or received any money in transactions this season, so they have the full $3.6 million to spend. Now they must find a partner that has the available space to absorb it and the willingness to move their pick for capital.

These deals usually go down starting in the mid to late second round. The Sixers seem like an ideal partner. They have four second-round picks: the 36th, 39th, 46th and 50th selections. But they’ve already received $3.4 million in trades this season. So that option is essentially stripped away.

Then how about Boston? The Celtics have the 3rd, 37th, 53rd and 56th selections on Thursday, very little roster space and a glut of future picks already piled up. Plus they haven’t sent or received money in a transaction this season. Maybe they can cash in one of those late second-rounders for some money from the Warriors.

But that’s dependent on Golden State’s front office actually liking a prospect enough when that selection comes open. So who do they like? We were given at least a mild peek into their thinking.

Over the past few weeks, the Warriors have worked out 18 prospects in three sets of six. Nine of them were guards, seven of them were forwards, two were centers.

All are considered mid to late second round prospects. Some are likely to go undrafted. But there were a few intriguing names.

Monte Morris, who worked out for the Warriors on May 26, was a four-year point guard at Iowa State. He shot near 40 percent from 3 in college, led the country with a 5.17 assist-to-turnover ratio last season and is considered a sturdy defender for his position.

He’s old for a draft prospect, turning 22 next week, and his skill set doesn’t wow. But his intelligent, efficient style would seem to fit the Warrior mold at that backup guard slot and, if Shaun Livingston or Ian Clark leave in free agency, there could be a need.

But the team’s biggest hole remains at center. They patched it up well this past season, but Zaza Pachulia, JaVale McGee, David West and James Michael McAdoo are all free agents, Damian Jones remains an unknown and Kevon Looney has been a disappointment. Maybe they throw a dart at another young center and see if it sticks.

Chance Comanche is the most intriguing of the bigs they worked out, but he’d be a major project, unready for next year. Comanche played two years at Arizona, Steve Kerr’s alma mater, barely seeing the floor as a freshman and then putting up modest stats as a sophomore (6.3 points, 3.6 rebounds and only 0.4 blocks in 18.1 minutes per game).

But he’s 6-foot-11 with a wingspan that stretches beyond 7 feet. He’s slender but pretty mobile for a big and, if cultivated and developed right, has the tools that could translate down the line. Maybe the Warriors are intrigued by him as a guy to stash in the D-League.

But they may be after somebody who didn’t even work out for them. It wasn’t exactly easy to sell prospects on a flight to Oakland.

“Agents aren’t thrilled when you call and say, ‘Will you come work out for us?’ and they ask ‘What pick do you have?’ and you say: ‘We don’t have a pick,'” Myers said. “There are other teams that own those picks. Agents have to prioritize those teams.”

It remains possible the Warriors don’t jump into Thursday’s draft. They have the financial go-ahead from Lacob, but the right situation, trade partner and prospect has to emerge at the right time.

“I don’t think it makes sense to buy into the draft unless you really like somebody,” Steve Kerr said.

Kerr was in the draft room last year when the scouts raved about McCaw and executed the move to get him. He then used McCaw regularly as a rookie, played him important minutes in the title-winning game and considers him a useful rotation piece into the future, making only $1.3 million next season.

Considering the financial situation that awaits the Warriors over the next few years trying to pay their four stars, grabbing some cheap, young labor at the back end of their roster could prove vital. Maybe they’ll get that on Thursday. Or maybe they won’t.

“It would be really helpful for us to have some young guys on rookie contracts,” Kerr said. “But if you don’t like anyone there, then it may not make any sense. It’s depending on the board.”
