Klay Thompson trade gives Warriors blueprint to another heart-breaking move

1 week ago | bluemanhoop.com | Peter E. O'Keefe

Can they make the most of a tough situation? It's nearly 12 months ago that the Golden State Warriors and Klay Thompson made the decision to part ways, with the franchise legend signing a three-year, $50 million contract with the Dallas Mavericks. It was a tough period for the Warriors, yet one they actively ensured didn't go to complete waste.

KD's value has fallen this far... While the Golden State Warriors no longer retain interest in a reunion with Kevin Durant as they did at February's mid-season deadline, they'll remain captivated in where the 36-year-old heads and what the pacific rival Phoenix Suns get in return.
Warriors must nail underrated offseason decision that can't be taken for granted

Chasing value again!For the second time in as many years, the Golden State Warriors will head to the 2025 NBA Draft without their first-round pick. After giving up their 2024 selection in a 2019 trade, the Warriors will relinquish this year's pick as part of the blockbuster Jimmy Butler trade in early February. But that doesn't mean Golden State should take the draft for granted, particularly given their success in the second-round over the past two years.
Warriors only have one solution to appease fans in Jonathan Kuminga trade

1 week ago | bluemanhoop.com | Peter E. O'Keefe

This is starting to make a lot of sense... Given only 50% of Jonathan Kuminga's next contract will count as outgoing salary for the Golden State Warriors, finding reasonable value for the franchise in a sign-and-trade is becoming increasingly problematic ahead of free agency.

The 28-year-old's future is again facing some uncertainty... After beating the veteran Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors on the way to the Western Conference Finals, the Minnesota Timberwolves now find themselves with plenty of roster questions to answer this offseason.
Warriors trade update on 2x All-Star will avoid disaster and thrill fans

This is good news... Nikola Vucevic has been a prominent name in Golden State Warriors trade rumors for a long time, but it turns out the front office's interest in the veteran center may be somewhat overblown. After months of speculation surrounding a potential trade, the Warriors bypassed a deal with the Bulls to acquire Vucevic before the mid-season deadline.
Warriors path to stretch big blows wide open with latest Jonathan Kuminga rumors

1 week ago | bluemanhoop.com | Peter E. O'Keefe

A new team could be in the mix... Jonathan Kuminga's future as a restricted free agent has been complicated by a general lack of reported rival interest, leading to a feeling that the young forward could return to the Golden State Warriors this offseason. The Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat have both been floated as potential destinations for Kuminga, yet the latter would be contingent on missing out on a trade for former Warrior Kevin Durant.
Warriors next trade partner is crystal clear if surging rumors prove true

Multiple players on the radar from one team? Despite a late season surge that saw them reach the second-round of the NBA playoffs, the Golden State Warriors know they can't sit idle with a roster built around the veteran trio of Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green. Yet with so many dollars tied up in those three players, the Warriors hopes of landing another sizeable, difference-making piece is limited.

Golden State can't overpay to keep the fan-favorite guard... Gary Payton II got himself back relatively healthy this season, appearing in 62 games for the Golden State Warriors after injuries limited him to just 51 combined outings in the previous two years.
Warriors linked to surprise trade for Jazz big man (and it's not Lauri Markkanen)

1 week ago | bluemanhoop.com | Peter E. O'Keefe

Could they explore the move again? The Golden State Warriors spent weeks pursuing a trade with the Utah Jazz for Lauri Markkanen last offseason, but were ultimately unable to land the 2023 All-Star who renegotiated and extended his contract in Salt Lake City. Yet it seems they weren't the only trade conversations between the Warriors and Jazz in the last 12 months, with a recent report linking another forward with a move to the Bay prior to February's mid-season deadline.
