Andre Iguodala might very well have called his playing career quits if it was up to him alone. The 38-year-old, in fact, claimed on Friday while announcing his return to the Golden State Warriors that he was “retired for most of the summer.” After weeks of public and private cajoling from the Golden State Warriors […]

Golden State Warriors veteran Andre Iguodala is running it back for 2022-23. Iguodala made a special announcement Friday alongside Point Forward co-host Evan Turner that he will be back with the Warriors for his 19th NBA season. Iguodala and Turner will also continue their show throughout the upcoming campaign. Here it is straight from the […]

The Golden State Warriors franchise is the most successful in the past decade, having won four championships on the back of the famous core led by Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green. Despite the trio being past their 30s, they still went on to win the 2022 NBA championship, thanks in no small part […]

Dusty Hannahs. If you aren’t familiar with this name and if it’s the first time you’ve heard of this player, then you are definitely not alone. All that’s about to change, however, now that he’s joined the Golden State Warriors. Oh, wait. Not really. Apparently, his rather bizarre stint with the Warriors lasted no more […]

The Golden State Warriors didn’t have much spending flexibility this summer. The team that just set an NBA record for total payroll, in fact, lost a bidding war for all-world defender Gary Payton II in free agency, wary of going even deeper into luxury tax territory. But just because the Warriors’ team-building resources were limited […]

Most players don’t get better in their early 30s. If there’s one silver lining of the multiple injuries that cost Klay Thompson two-and-a-half seasons of his prime, though, it’s that he’s poised to be even better in 2022-23 than he was after his long-awaited return to the Golden State Warriors. Warriors coach Steve Kerr told […]

The summer came and went with some of Jordan Poole’s contemporaries getting the type of massive payday he definitely deserves. As the deadline for rookie contract extensions quickly approaches, though, there’s still no indication the Golden State Warriors will lock Poole up long-term before he hits restricted free agency. General manager Bob Myers addressed the […]

News flash: A late first-round pick who was nagged by injury during his lone college season and didn’t play in Summer League probably won’t play a major role for the defending champions. Just because he’s surely on the outside looking in at the Golden State Warriors’ rotation as a rookie, though, hardly means Patrick Baldwin […]

Few teams in basketball return as many top players this season as the Golden State Warriors. The six-man core that led them to another title remains fully intact, with Kevon Looney re-signing in July and contract questions facing incumbent free agents Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole—not to mention Draymond Green, who has a player option […]

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga is entering just his second season in the NBA, but he’s already become material for a Stephen A. Smith hot take. In a recent episode of First Take, the ESPN personality recently revealed that he’s heard of reports about Kuminga’s poor attitude off the court. Warriors head coach Steve […]

The Golden State Warriors are in one of the most enviable spots as a franchise in the NBA. Not only are they fresh off a championship victory against the Boston Celtics in the 2022 NBA Finals, they are well set up for the future, with a young core led by Jordan Poole and Jonathan Kuminga […]

Separate investigations into his alleged workplace misconduct confirmed that Robert Sarver repeated the n-word on multiple occasions. During his time with the Phoenix Suns, though, Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr maintains he never saw any behavior from the disgraced owner that could he construed as racist.  Doubling down on his statement to ESPN’s Baxter […]

Pump the brakes on James Wiseman’s breakout 2022-23 campaign, Dub Nation. As Steve Kerr sees it, this season will be far more about overall development for the talented young big man than the true impact he makes on the Golden State Warriors. Appearing on Real Ones with Raja Bell and Logan Murdock of The Ringer, Kerr tempered […]

The most enduring memory of Jordan Poole’s first playoff run—to opposing fans, at least—is certainly Ja Morant dropping him to the floor en route to a go-ahead floater during a second-round loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. The Golden State Warriors guard was frequently targeted by the likes of Luka Doncic and Jayson Tatum in later […]

Twitter engineers are fearing for the technical integrity of the social media platform once again, with NBA fans from every corner going at it following ESPN’s release of its top 100 rankings ahead of the 2022-23 NBA season. Arguably the most controversial part of the rankings is Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins being placed […]

The Golden State Warriors reportedly expect James Wiseman to play “meaningful minutes” this season as he enters his third year in the NBA. The 7-foot big man sat out the entirety of last season as well as the majority of his rookie year due to a major knee injury, but it looks like he’s now ready […]

James Wiseman, thankfully, has endured no setbacks in his road back to official NBA action after taking part in Las Vegas Summer League a couple months ago. As training camp fast approaches, the Golden State Warriors won’t just have the talented 7-footer back on the floor with no holds barred, but are poised to reap […]

Training camp for the 2022-23 season tips off league-wide in a few days, which can only mean one thing: A deluge of NBA player rankings from legacy media outlets. Most prominent among them, of course, is ESPN’s NBArank, back for a 12th consecutive year to fete basketball’s best players and anger fan bases across the […]

A vocal, passionate set of fans weren’t the only ones who questioned the Golden State Warriors replacing Mark Jackson with Steve Kerr in 2014 following the team’s first back-to-back playoff appearances since the Run TMC era. A young Draymond Green and his teammates, it turns out, were initially skeptical of the significant changes Kerr implemented […]

The NBA is under fire right now after suspending Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver for just one year and fining him $10 million for racial discrimination and sexual misconduct in the workplace. Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green is the latest player to offer his opinion on the matter. Needless to say, he isn’t pleased […]

There’s no mystery surrounding the Golden State Warriors’ starting five nor sixth man as the season rapidly approaches. Steve Kerr’s “foundational six” are set in stone, comprising arguably the best blend of talent, cohesion and tangible chemistry among all teams’ top players league-wide. But Golden State won’t win back-to-back titles for the second time during […]

There has been much discussion centered on whether Andre Iguodala will return for his 19th season in the NBA and his eighth with the Golden State Warriors, but his status remains up in the air. Iguodala earlier said that he will be announcing his career plans on his podcast with former Philadelphia 76ers teammate Evan […]

The Golden State Warriors payroll has been a topic of discussion all offseason long. It has made many wonder if the Warriors may opt to split up their core three players of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green. It has also led to concerns about a potential Jordan Poole extension. And the Warriors’ payroll […]

The Lob City era of the Los Angeles Clippers was one of the most celebrated teams in franchise history. Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, and the rest of the squad found considerable success as a group. However, if you ask Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green, he believes that that team had more style than substance. […]

There are few more controversial moments in the recent history of the NBA Finals than when Draymond Green was called for a flagrant foul on LeBron James during the 2016 NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Green was slapped with a one-game suspension because of that incident, and many believe […]

The Golden State Warriors will have plenty of roster decisions to make in the upcoming months, with the likes of Andre Wiggins, Jordan Poole and Draymond Green due for new contracts soon. However with their salary already at an astronomical level, it is worth wondering whether they’ll try to move Green in the future. That […]

Golden State Warriors president Bob Myers wants Andre Iguodala back, and for good reasons. While Iguodala’s production has dipped as he continues to age, there are things he brings to the Warriors that others just couldn’t do. That is why he remains an indispensable piece for the organization. Speaking with Tim Kawakami of The Athletic, […]

Draymond Green is a four-time NBA champion, most recently playing a huge part in the Golden State Warriors’ triumph over the Boston Celtics in six games in the 2022 Finals. Green knows that, while it matters how the pieces fit together, talent reigns supreme in the league, and he doesn’t blame LeBron James and the […]

In 2019, the Golden State Warriors and the Minnesota Timberwolves made a trade regarding two of the top young players in the NBA. The Warriors traded D’Angelo Russell to the Timberwolves for Andrew Wiggins and a first-round pick. Now, a current head coach is voicing his displeasure regarding the trade all these years later. Heavy.com’s […]

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Cam Heyward recently decided to drag Draymond Green’s name into a potential blockbuster boxing match. The Golden State Warriors star quickly caught wind of the news and he didn’t waste any time responding to Heyward’s challenge. Not so fast, though. Green made it abundantly clear that he has no intention of […]

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry knows firsthand just how dangerous the current iteration of the Boston Celtics is. Curry had to play out of his mind, including an amazing 43-point, 7 threes performance during a Game 4 win to prevent the Warriors from going down 3-1, and in essence, winning the 2022 NBA Finals […]

Stephen Curry spent a lot of time on the links over the summer, but his most prominent outing on the golf course no doubt came in early July at the American Century Championship, a pro-am tournament that took place in South Lake Tahoe. The Golden State Warriors superstar finished tied for 16th, a solid showing […]

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant thinks they would have beaten the Golden State Warriors in the 2022 playoffs had he not been injured. Morant has already opened up how his injury was the most “frustrating” part of the past season, emphasizing his belief that it was their year and they could have won it all […]

It’s not a coincidence that in the four championships the Golden State Warriors have on in the past decade, Andre Iguodala was present. Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green will take all the acclaim, and heck, even Andrew Wiggins stormed into the picture after his emergence in the 2022 NBA Finals squaring up against […]

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant had a massive campaign in 2021-22 and was a key piece to the team securing second place in the Western Conference. Many people even believed the Grizz could make a legitimate title run in the playoffs, but that all came crashing down in the conference semifinals against the Golden State […]

Stephen Curry has achieved so many things throughout what has been a decorated NBA career. Nevertheless, the Golden State Warriors superstar is by no means immune to regret. In a recent tell-all interview with Matt Sullivan of Rolling Stone, Curry got brutally honest about one particular regret in his career that he continues to agonize […]

Golden State Warriors superstar Klay Thompson was quite vocal about how he didn’t agree with his NBA 2K23 rating. So much so, that Klay took to Instagram to put the game on blast for giving him an 88 rating for his 3-point shooting. Ronnie 2K has now responded to Klay’s staunch criticism as he attempted […]

One billion dollars. That’s the mind-boggling amount Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry is about to agree on with his sportswear sponsor Under Armour as both parties look to extend his current deal. This is Steph entering LeBron James territory with Curry’s deal mirroring The King’s current lifetime contract with Nike. According to a report […]

The Golden State Warriors really did broach a trade this summer that could’ve brought Kevin Durant back to the Bay Area, an idea Stephen Curry whole-heartedly endorsed. Now that he’s re-committed to the Brooklyn Nets in wake of the Warriors winning another championship, though, criticism of Durant’s decision to bail on Golden State in 2019 […]
