The Golden State Warriors are slowly transitioning into their new era, with young players like Brandin Podziemski, Jonathan Kuminga, and Trayce Jackson-Davis developing as Steph Curry and Draymond Green play out their last few seasons.

After Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks lost in five to the Boston Celtics in the 2024 NBA Finals, many questioned the superstar’s defensive effort throughout the best-of-seven series. Some considered him a defensive liability, and the Celtics targeted him for unfavorable matchups. However, Doncic appeared in the best shape of his career while on […]

Perhaps it was only a matter of time before their failure to land Lauri Markkanen or Paul George caught up to the Golden State Warriors and exposed the flaws of playing a team with only one star in a superstar’s league. For instance, the law of averages would have cooled off Buddy Hield’s hot shooting […]

The Golden State Warriors have plenty of reasons to be happy for how they have started the 2024-25 season.

Brandin Podziemski has become incredibly important to the Golden State Warriors since being drafted. But his 3-point percentage of 19.1 so far this season is one of several glaring issues with the Warriors’ shooting. The team ruled Podziemski out ahead of Golden State’s game highly-anticipated game against Boston because of a mystery illness. Podziemski told […]

Brandin Podziemski was a mainstay in trade rumors this offseason. With the Golden State Warriors attempting to extend their championship window with Stephen Curry, the 2023 first-round pick was a logical candidate to be included in a package for a marquee name. Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. was active in trade negotiations, pursuing Los […]

In his second season, guard Brandin Podziemski has become a key contributing member of the Golden State Warriors rotation. In 11 games this year, the 21-year-old averages over 25 minutes with 8.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists. However, playing in the spotlight after beginning his career behind Klay Thompson comes with challenges, especially in […]

Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski is putting up some amazing theatrics with his passing game. The shooting guard made a mind-blowing assist for the Warriors on Friday night when he saved a basketball from going out of bounds.

Change is inevitable for every NBA organization. Even the Golden State Warriors, the league’s latest dynasty over the last decade, could not escape this.

The Golden State Warriors never should’ve needed Brandin Podziemski and Jonathan Kuminga to play hero. They boat raced the Houston Rockets in the first half on Saturday night, using red-hot shooting, suffocating defense and far superior chemistry and cohesion to take a seemingly insurmountable 28-point lead into intermission. The dogged two-way efforts of Tari Eason […]

There were still nearly eight minutes left on the fourth quarter clock on Sunday night when Stephen Curry hopped back toward the sideline and immediately motioned for a sub, putting little to no weight on the balky left ankle he’d just turned again.

Jonathan Kuminga didn’t get the contract extension he wanted from the Golden State Warriors.

Not only is he surely relishing the opportunity to […]

The Golden State Warriors still don’t have a set starting lineup less than four days from tipoff of the regular season. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green’s spots have been cemented since before Media Day in late September, and Steve Kerr has indirectly suggested that Andrew Wiggins’ name is penciled along Golden State’s future Hall-of-Famers after […]

Brandin Podziemski’s highly anticipated sophomore season definitely isn’t off to an ideal start. The Golden State Warriors guard suffered a broken nose in Sunday’s preseason victory over the Detroit Pistons, Steve Kerr said on Monday, per Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area. Podziemski is being fitted for a protective mask and will not play […]

The Golden State Warriors are defiant in that they are looking to contend for another championship even though they have fallen down the league’s totem pole over the past two seasons.
