The Golden State Warriors’ entire offseason has unfortunately been solely focused on one player.

The Golden State Warriors enter the 2025 NBA Cup in a unique position. Their roster looks almost identical to last season’s, a blend of stability and uncertainty.

The Golden State Warriors are entering the 2025-26 season with a strange mix of stability and uncertainty. Stability, because the core of Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green remains intact; uncertainty, because the franchise has made zero moves in free agency while other Western Conference contenders reshaped their rosters. Coming off a 48-34 season […]

The Golden State Warriors and Jonathan Kuminga are still not on the same page when it comes to an extension or a sign-and-trade.

The standoff between Jonathan Kuminga and the Golden State Warriors has been the main talking point of the NBA offseason and free agency.

Heading into the 2025 NBA offseason, no team was better positioned to reshape its future than the Brooklyn Nets. They led the league in cap space. They had a war chest of draft picks, including a record-setting five first-rounders. They were unburdened by long-term salary anchors. They had the flexibility to make trades, take on […]

According […]

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has been criticized plenty for his handling of Jonathan Kuminga, but Kendrick Perkins thinks Kerr has a problem with most young players in general.
