Would the Golden State Warriors consider offering extensions to each star on the team? Could Joe Lacob pay Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, and Jordan Poole? Stephen Curry already has his extension in effect. So extending the others could keep Golden State vying for championships for years to to come. However, Lacob isn’t willing […]

At one point over the past few weeks, a sensational return to the Golden State Warriors for Kevin Durant seemed to pick up steam. After KD demanded a trade away from the Nets, the Dubs emerged as a potential landing spot for the former league MVP in a bid to reunite him with former teammate […]

The Brooklyn Nets have been on the hunt for the perfect trade package for Kevin Durant. Ever since the star requested a trade out of the team, teams have put together their best offers for the former MVP winner. However, the front office has been extremely picky in choosing their trade partner. They aren’t keen […]

Joe Lacob knows his desire for certain changes to the NBA’s luxury-tax structure seem self-serving. The Golden State Warriors owner admitted as much while decrying the current system on the Point Forward podcast, comments that ultimately landed him a $500,000 fine from the league office. But there will undoubtedly come a time when Lacob’s glitzy, big-market, […]

But San Francisco mandated vaccinations for people working in the […]

The expectations were extremely high for Andrew Wiggins when he entered the NBA as the first overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft.

The Golden State Warriors are fresh off a championship and will be looking to make another run at the title in 2023.

Andrew Wiggins was the beneficiary of fleeting NBA Finals MVP buzz mostly for his stellar individual defense on Jayson Tatum and ability to make the Boston Celtics pay for loading extra defenders toward Stephen Curry. But his career-altering performance en route to the Golden State Warriors’ fourth championship in eight seasons should be remembered most […]

There’s no in-depth explanation necessary to understand why it’s virtually guaranteed that Kevin Durant won’t be returning to the Golden State Warriors. The widespread assumption that he’d grown irreversibly crossways with franchise pillars after bailing on Golden State three years ago was always naive. Indeed, Marcus Thompson II of The Athletic reported on Sunday that […]

The Golden State Warriors are an extremely talented team. The trio of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green has now won four NBA titles in the past eight seasons.

Andrew Wiggins knows the Golden State Warriors couldn’t have won the championship without him.

Stop the madness now. Just because Andrew Wiggins has acquitted himself against the Boston Celtics better than pretty much anyone could’ve anticipated doesn’t mean he’d be a worthy Finals MVP.
