The San Antonio Spurs have three veteran players who could draw interest from contenders. They also have several young guys any team wouldn’t mind adding in some capacity.

Jonathan Kuminga owns the distinction as Golden State’s best all-around athlete by now, and it’s not particularly close.

Far more frightening for Warriors foes? […]

It has long been settled that the greatest shooter to ever play in the NBA is no other than Golden State Warriors marksman Stephen Curry. Warriors’ Stephen Curry still No. 1 in the NBA at what he does best Even at age 35, Curry is still an incredibly dangerous shooter and he’s not showing much […]

So much for Draymond Green’s lack of size dooming him as the Golden State Warriors’ full-time starting center.
