Jonathan Kuminga was putting together another fine performance before leaving with a knee and ankle injury. While not considered serious, the injury is just another blow to Bay Area fans right when some hope was brewing. We look at what the injury means, De'Anthony Melton's value, Draymond's decline, and what a Giannis offer could look like.
It was the first real step in rebuilding some “demand in the market” for Jonathan Kuminga, as he returned with 20 points and nearly sparked a massive comeback against Toronto. What does his performance tell us about how the Warriors have managed his minutes, and what can we realistically expect from him moving forward? Plus, what do Mike Dunleavy’s pre-game comments about Kuminga’s market, Jimmy Butler’s tradability, and his philosophy on trading draft picks reveal about the Warriors’ plans from here?
It might officially be the end of the Steph Curry contender window after Jimmy Butler’s ACL tear. We break down the ripple effects of the injury and what options the Warriors realistically have left—ranging from a last-ditch Hail Mary trade to a full teardown and rebuild. This sucks.
On Jonathan Kuminga Trade Eligibility Day, reports have surfaced that the Warriors never had real interest in Michael Porter Jr and are instead focused solely on expiring contracts. The reporting confirms what much of Dub Nation has long suspected: the Warriors' front office isn't serious about contending again in the Steph Curry era.
The Warriors need to be all-in on MPJ, especially if he can be had for two 1st rd picks. But what if the Dubs continue to balk at moving picks and can't get the deal done? Who are some lesser players they could target to bolster their front court?
With one week to go until Jonathan Kuminga is trade eligible, we explore the three biggest trade targets for Golden State. How much would each cost and which should the Dubs pursue most?
Armed with a full chest of draft picks, the Warriors have the capability of negotiating for an all-star level upgrade in a Kuminga trade. But from what Mike Dunleavy and Steve Kerr have been saying recently, expectations for a blockbuster trade should be tempered. Host Chris Chinn argues that anything less than a big swing is a disservice to Steph Curry.
Steph Curry's stomach isn't the only one hurting after a 1 point loss to Phoenix. Another night, same Warriors' problems. Turnovers, poor shot making, bad clutch defense. This team is going no where fast until they change their bad habits... and their roster.
Another Steph Curry masterpiece, another loss for the Dubs. Panic is setting in for a team that can't even hold a .500 record despite Steph playing like a top 5 star. Steve Kerr hasn't been good, but he's not the reason for losing. The real reason is clear...
Jonathan Kuminga's DNP all but guarantees he'll be traded January 15. Which potential trade targets should the Warriors explore? How does Pat Spencer's recent breakout change the Dubs' needs?
The Dubs' bench almost pulled off a miracle against OKC. While moral victories aren't real wins, there were some new elements to the Warriors that inspires some hope moving forward – Seth Curry, an aggressive Podz/Spencer, and the announced return of De'Anthony Melton.
The Warriors have flaws that aren't going away anytime soon. Positional size, perimeter defense, turnovers, and shot-creation outside of Steph/Jimmy are just a few. With the Kings declaring themselves open for business, does a Kuminga for Sabonis trade package make sense for the Dubs?
Moses Moody's career night helped the Warriors cruise by the Pelicans in what seemingly could have been a trap game. Moody's steady growth from year to year has seen him become the Dubs best 3 and D role player. Also, Draymond doesn't like being called "Angel Reese."
Steph drops a combined 95 pts in 2 games in San Antonio to remind the world that he's still the greatest show in sports. It was an exhilarating matchup with Victor Wembenyama and the Spurs, as the Warriors seem to have found their identity – Curry Brand.
Coming off of an embarrassing butt-kicking against the Thunder, the Warriors fell behind 16 pts in the first half to the Spurs. But just as hope was dimming, Batman arose from the shadows with a 22 point 3rd quarter and carried the Dubs to a much-needed road victory.
The Warriors eventually broke out of an offensive slump towards the end of the 3rd quarter against the Pacers, winning by 30. But the story continues to be the ascension of Will Richard. Richard is turning into the steal of the draft and his traits seem sustainable, albeit only a dozen games into the season.
Will Richard, Moses Moody, and Jonathan Kuminga were bright spots — but only silver linings as the Warriors let a winnable game slip away in Sacramento.
Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler and the Warriors look like the real deal. With the emergence of young players against Memphis followed by an elite-level defensive effort against the Clippers, the Dubs are showing both depth and championship-level potential this season.
That was exhilarating. A Steph Curry legendary performance led the Warriors back from a halftime deficit against the Nuggets despite an Aaron Gordon career night. The Dubs might have found a new closing lineup that can propel them into the top tier of contenders.
Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Jonathan Kuminga led the way as the Warriors took down a LeBron-less Lakers squad — a game that would’ve been a full-on blowout if not for Luka Doncic’s brilliance. Butler’s presence has already added a new layer to Golden State’s elite culture, and nowhere was that more clear than in Kuminga’s performance. The young forward delivered one of his most complete games yet, flashing the kind of growth and potential that should have Warriors fans excited.
