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.
With Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler resting for preseason game 3, the Warriors got a good look at their offense led by Podz and Kuminga. While the team looked stuck in the mud, Podz went off and showed a glimpse of what he could someday become as a lead guard. Host Chris Chinn breaks down what he saw from both Podz and JK in high usage roles.
Preseason Game 2 wasn’t exactly a confidence booster for the Golden State Warriors. Facing a young, athletic Portland Trail Blazers squad, the Dubs gave up 73 first-half points and showed some concerning trends that carried over from last season.
The Warriors are finally back on the court! In their first preseason game against the Lakers, we learned a lot about potential lineups and combinations. But nothing was more evident than the fact that Al Horford is a seamless fit on the Warriors and unlocks several winning lineups.
