The Golden State Warriors have made their bed. Instead of trading away some of their promising young players, such as Brandin Podziemski and Jonathan Kuminga, for immediate help in the form of either Paul George or Lauri Markkanen, the Warriors decided that keeping them and hoping they blossom into the stars they need to give […]

The Golden State Warriors could have been a new-look team this upcoming season if things had gone differently this summer. Twenty-one year old shooting guard Brandin Podziemski was inquired about by several teams, but the promising talent will stay in the Bay. Golden State could have landed a king’s ransom of picks for the Santa […]

Before the 2024 offseason went into its doldrums, the Golden State Warriors were one of the most active teams on the trade market as they looked to bolster the team and maximize the remaining elite years of Stephen Curry’s career. However, in the end, the Warriors did not budge, deep as they were in trade […]

The Golden State Warriors finished with 46 wins last season and ended up on the outside of the NBA Playoffs looking in as they were dispatched by the Sacramento Kings in the Play-In Tournament. The tough season ending appeared to fuel Stephen Curry, who went off on Team France with a late barrage of three-pointers […]

So much for the Golden State Warriors’ good problem of sussing out a rotational numbers crunch on the wing and interior after trading for Lauri Markkanen. The Finnish star is reportedly unlikely to sign an extension with the Utah Jazz when he becomes eligible for a new deal on August 6th.  As a result, Markkanen […]

All Brandin Podziemski needed to prove he was too good for Summer League was two games. The Golden State Warriors’ sophomore guard averaged 18.5 points, 9.5 rebounds and 6.5 assists in Las Vegas, shooting 50% from both the field and three-point range—especially impressive efficiency considering Podziemski was moonlighting as the Dubs’ No. 1 option offensively. […]

It’s no secret why the Golden State Warriors envision Brandin Podziemski as a fixture of their immediate present and long-term future. During an appearance on the Tim Kawakami Show in late July, owner Joe Lacob revealed “everyone” with the Dubs is confident Podziemski has what it takes to become an NBA All-Star. “I do believe […]

Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski is looking like one of the best young players in the NBA. Especially after Klay Thompson’s departure, Podziemski is a crucial part of the Warriors’ young core as they prepare for a post-Splash Brothers world. In a shocking admission, Podziemski reveals that he almost pursued baseball instead of basketball […]

The Golden State Warriors may have added a few quality players in the aftermath of the departure of franchise legend Klay Thompson. But it’s fair to wonder if the Warriors’ roster as presently constructed is good enough to compete for a playoff spot in the loaded Western Conference, let alone for the Larry O’Brien trophy. […]

Lauri Markkanen is still with the Utah Jazz at the time of this writing, but there appears to be continued interest in him from the Golden State Warriors, who are looking to win another Larry O’Brien Trophy in the Stephen Curry era. While Curry is away for his Team USA duties, the Warriors’ front office […]

A lack of depth is what most Golden State Warriors fans are worried about after Klay Thompson’s departure. It is not often that Stephen Curry needs to step out of the game to manage his fatigue but he still needs a secondary guard to knock down shots when needed. Thankfully, Steve Kerr has developed Brandin […]

While many of the Golden State Warriors’ recent picks in the NBA Draft have come under fire — Jordan Poole, James Wiseman, Moses Moody and Patrick Baldwin Jr., just to name a few — one that the Dubs front office nailed without even the tiniest bit of doubt was Brandin Podziemski. Billed as a promising […]

The Golden State Warriors just got much younger, and Brandin Podziemski may be a centerpiece of their new era sooner rather than later. With Chris Paul and Klay Thompson departing the Bay Area, the team’s young core will have to step up and support Steph Curry. Podziemski sounded off on Paul’s move to the San […]

With the NBA offseason finally here and the 2024 NBA Draft right around the corner, this is a busy time for athletes as they take some time to rest, make decisions about their future, and expand their personal brands off the court. After being named to the latest NBA All-Rookie team, Golden State Warriors’ guard […]

There are a lot of signs that point to the end of the Golden State Warriors dynasty. The Steve Kerr and Stephen Curry-led squad’s failure to get into the NBA Playoffs was a big signifier of the historic collapse. Another is the significant drop in Klay Thompson’s production which led to his benching in favor […]

If the Golden State Warriors are hoping to get back to the NBA Finals, they’ll have to start relying on a bit more of their younger players like Brandin Podziemski. For the second year in a row, the NBA has brought on Player Correspondents to attend and report from the NBA Finals. This year, the […]

Since winning the 2022 NBA Finals, the Golden State Warriors have been very mediocre, given the expectations they have set for themselves. The 2022-23 season saw the Warriors lose in the Western Conference Semifinals, and then Golden State failed to make the playoffs this past season via the play-in tournament. Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and […]

The Golden State Warriors are set to take on the Sacramento Kings in the NBA Play-In Tournament on Tuesday, in a rematch of last year’s epic seven-game series, in which Stephen Curry turned in an iconic 50-point performance in the clinching game on the road, and Brandin Podziemski spoke about what he thought of Curry’s […]

SAN FRANCISCO — Brandin Podziemski hasn’t become a fixture with the Golden State Warriors due to his scoring exploits. The rookie guard took Klay Thompson’s spot in the starting lineup just before the All-Star break precisely because he doesn’t need to get buckets or sop up usage to make a consistently positive impact. Entering Friday’s […]

The Golden State Warriors used a third-quarter surge to come away with a 112-102 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Monday. They had to get over a slow first half, which included a small heated moment between two Dubs players. During the second quarter, Andrew Wiggins and Brandin Podziemski both found themselves leading a […]

SAN FRANCISCO — Brandin Podziemski established himself as a present and long-term fixture with the Golden State Warriors barely halfway through his NBA debut. Now entrenched as a starter for one of the league’s hottest teams, the No. 19 overall pick of the 2023 NBA Draft is a shoo-in for All-Rookie honors this season, with […]

Klay Thompson will be back at his most familiar spot in the Golden State Warriors’ lineup.

The Golden State Warriors recently inserted Brandin Podziemski into the starting lineup, taking Klay Thompson’s place, and he admitted to Chris Haynes that there is a bit of an awkward feeling with him taking the franchise legend’s spot in the starting five. “I talked to Brandin Podziemski who is now starting in Klay’s place, and […]

The 2023-24 season hasn’t gone as smoothly as the Golden State Warriors had envisioned. Even though Stephen Curry has continued to play at an elite level, the Warriors have encountered a few unforeseen issues, such as Klay Thompson’s decline, Draymond Green’s troubling violent streak, and Chris Paul’s injury, that they have fallen all the way […]

The Golden State Warriors’ 2023-24 season has been anything but smooth, but one of the brightest points has been the emergence of rookie guard Brandin Podziemski. Despite coming off the bench and getting inconsistent minutes to begin the season, Podziemski has become a regular starter for the Warriors and established himself as one of the […]

It took a while for Brandin Podziemski, the 19th overall pick of the 2023 NBA Draft, to cement his place in the Golden State Warriors rotation. Podziemski, who was recently elevated into the starting lineup, has been a godsend for a Warriors team in need of more playmaking, shooting, and all-around skill. But it’s the […]

Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors have been rolling of late after what was a horrific start to the 2023-24 NBA season. The Warriors have now won eight out of ten games heading into the All-Star break–where Curry will be participating in multiple festivities from Indianapolis–and have reestablished themselves in postseason position in the […]

No one was hanging a banner in the Frost Bank Center ahead of the 2023-24 campaign, but the arrival of Victor Wembanyama was expected to spark immediate change for the San Antonio Spurs. Instead, they might actually finish with a worse record than they did the previous year. If that possibility was presented to fans […]

Remember Klay Thompson’s somber tone and sad smile as he recently discussed the realities of entering a different stage of his career? So much for that viral video contributing to his potential downfall with the Golden State Warriors. Less than two weeks later, Thompson seems more comfortable with the current state of his game than […]

The Golden State Warriors and star Stephen Curry suffered a frustrating loss Wednesday night as they were defeated by their in-state foe in the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Golden State Warriors have been on an upward trend as of late, and it looked like their good fortune was going to continue as they had the Los Angeles Clippers eating from the palm of their hands. However, the Clippers have been on a roll for a few months now, and they know what […]

Brooklyn Nets center Nic Claxton’s dirty hit on Golden State Warriors rookie Brandin Podziemski sparked outrage among the fanbase on Sunday.

Brandin Podziemski fell to an apparent injury after falling awkwardly in the Golden State Warriors game against the Atlanta Hawks. It didn’t look good, as he immediately limped on the court.

The Golden State Warriors took care of business on Friday night, beginning a critical road trip by dispatching of the severely undermanned Memphis Grizzlies in convincing 121-101 fashion. Jonathan Kuminga picked up in February where he left off a career-altering January, scoring 29 points on more highly efficient shooting. Draymond Green did it all for […]

[…]

On Saturday evening, the Golden State Warriors, playing without star point guard Stephen Curry, dropped to 18-21 on the 2023-24 NBA season with a road loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.
