Golden State Warriors Rumours

25 Nov 2023 14:21:26
Warriors:Siakam
Tor:CP3+Moody+Kuminga+1rnd pick Warriors 26

24 Nov 2023 14:20:38
Bulls: CP3+ Kuminga+ 2rnd pick

Warriors: Derozan

C:Looney
PF:D Green
SF:K Thompson
SG: Derozan
PG:Curry
sixth: Wiggins

24 Nov 2023 16:03:02
I think it makes sense for GS.

24 Nov 2023 19:08:22
If anyone moves to the bench it is Klay Thompson.

22 Nov 2023 19:21:52
Warriors - Grant and Brogdon

Blazers - Klay (exp) Kuminga and 2 1sts

Curry
Brogdon
Wiggins
Grant
Green
6th - CP3

Scoot
Sharpe
Klay
Kuminga
Ayton
6th - Simons

22 Nov 2023 21:38:34
I think I’d take it as a Blazer fan. But I also have a hard time wanting to help the Warriors get better when they own GSs 2024 first.

22 Nov 2023 21:44:52
I definitely like it for the Blazers, not sure for GS.

22 Nov 2023 21:56:53
to have 3 Point guards making over 20 million each?

22 Nov 2023 19:18:33
I may be the only one that likes this but

Trade built around Lavine or Klay

Warriors take on salary but younger/better player rn

Bulls shed huge money maybe can still get an asset or two

23 Nov 2023 04:31:10
The idea of lavine to warriors has been flying around this site but no one likes it. For me that's a great idea.

24 Nov 2023 06:32:18
When I think of LaVine to Warriors, I see Jordan Poole 2.0.

24 Nov 2023 14:04:57
I think Lavine has better game awareness & shot IQ than Poole which was his main problem for GS.

22 Nov 2023 16:26:21
I want to see the raptors and warriors make a trade.

Raps get Wiggins and picks

While warriors get siakim

This would improve the teams chances in winning bother championship if healthy. They also need to make another few trade to help down low. Maybe sign another. Ig who can block shoots.

03 Nov 2023 00:33:01
Miami Heat: Chris Paul, Moses Moody, Brandin Podziemski, Jonathan Kuminga, 1º pick 2025, 2027


Golden State Warriors: Jimmy Butler;

03 Nov 2023 07:39:06
No way Miami is trading Butler.

03 Nov 2023 12:09:33
I love this for Jimmy.

03 Nov 2023 19:25:41
I don’t think there’s any way Miami trades Jimmy, but if they did this isn’t bad.

01 Oct 2023 22:31:39
GS-Por

GS- R Williams, 2nd rd pick
Por- J Kuminga, B Podziemski, protected 1st round pick

Warriors get the big they need. Portland continue to gain assets for the rebuild

01 Oct 2023 23:55:23
Blazers says they gonna keep RW3.

02 Oct 2023 12:49:33
i would gamble and take Kuminga.

01 Oct 2023 18:49:57
The Celtics are sending center Robert Williams III, guard Malcolm Brogdon, a 2024 first-round pick via Golden State and a 2029 first-round pick to the Blazers, sources said.

I pretty much nailed this one in previous comments.

01 Oct 2023 19:04:40
He's hurt a lot but it's tough losing Williams. He's an absolute beast.

01 Oct 2023 21:23:36
Willams @ PF? Grant @ SF Ayton @ C.

02 Oct 2023 04:52:44
I think timelird is backing up Ayton & Grant. until Grant is moved.

02 Oct 2023 13:48:52
Hell no MD. That would be terrible. Grant isn’t a full time SF. Ayton shouldn’t be a full time PF.

Local media expects the starters to be Scoot, Simons, Thybulle, Grant, Ayton.

05 Sep 2023 09:27:46
Cleveland gets: Andrew Wiggins
Golden State gets: Isaac Okoro & Ricky Rubio
Indiana gets: Dean Wade & 2 2nds

Why?
Cleveland gets their starting 3.
Golden State dumps Wiggins contract & huge savings down the line, both are expiring.
Indiana adds a role player on a valuable contract for free.

With Golden State having an astronomical salary cap sheet, they have to be good or else, it isn't worth it to pay the insane amount of tax they currently boast. The new CBA makes it even more complicated for them.

05 Sep 2023 14:49:19
i don't think GS is ready to dump Wiggins and they can always get a first for him.

05 Sep 2023 17:17:23
Wiggins' value is way more than a salary dump. Lmao.

05 Sep 2023 19:18:37
@honeycutt, I know that, but the Warriors are in salary cap hell. They don't have any leverage, even had to attach a first to dump a valuable player in Jordan Poole. Nobody is giving the Warriors anything of value aside from expiring's.

05 Sep 2023 20:00:11
JJ you do realize that Wiggins' was a vital part of their championship run. Warriors wont waste Curry's remaining time for this.

06 Sep 2023 14:35:29
If GS was worried about salary cap, they would have not resigned Draymond Green. Kings would offer way more than that for Wiggins.

29 Aug 2023 08:48:12
Cleveland gets: Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga & two unprotected firsts (2026 & 2028)
Golden State gets: Evan Mobley, Isaac Okoro, Ricky Rubio & Dean Wade

Why?
Cleveland adds two solid wing players.
Golden State gets one of the best young bigs in the league.

29 Aug 2023 10:33:36
This is an overpay for Mobley
Maybe without the picks.

29 Aug 2023 14:03:23
Why would the Cavs do this nonsense?

17 Aug 2023 08:20:33
Pacers:Embiid

SG:Mathurin/B Brown/Sheppard

07 Aug 2023 13:51:56
Yea, I doubt that gets Wiggins from Golden State.

07 Aug 2023 17:35:12
B Hield is a free agent next year and CP3's contract isn't guaranteed next year. so that's 50 million salary saving next year

this trade saves them salary, they get a young talent back and two future pics.

08 Aug 2023 12:59:42
Picks in the 20's and a "young talent" who hasn't really shown anything in two years doesn't get one Wiggins.

If GS was trying to cut salary they would not have resigned Draymond Green.

08 Aug 2023 13:25:40
Take note of what Fredman said, Gasupo. Most competing teams isn't concern about salaries. Especially GSW with Curry nearing twilight.

31 Jul 2023 08:42:40
Celtics Trade for Lillard
Brogdon: 22,5
White: 18,4
Horford: 10
1st round pick(2024 - from Warriors)
1st round pick(2026 - Own)
1st round pick(2029 - Own)
2nd round pick(2024 - from Mavs)

Lillard: 45,6
Nassir Little: 6,2

Lillard have bigger chance to get a ring
Blazers can offload Horford after season + brogdon, White after next season if they want to

31 Jul 2023 09:49:00
Pritchard and Champagnie instead of Horford and we can call it a deal. The Celtics need Horford while the Blazers don’t. Money works either way, since the Celtics have a TPE large enough to accommodate Little.

31 Jul 2023 10:00:53
No real asset on that pckage. Blazers need young guys especially young bigs.

31 Jul 2023 16:01:38
that's a good package for Portland
Celtics should go all in on lillard.

31 Jul 2023 16:05:52
Blazers would need Rob Williams at least.

31 Jul 2023 20:17:06
as others have said, any deal should include a solid, or up-and-coming, rotation player in the front court. The Blazers don't need more 3rd and 4th string guards in a fresh-start rebuild.

01 Aug 2023 02:41:17
NBA16 is probably right.

A more likely deal would be Brogdon, Williams and all those picks for Dame (the Blazers can keep Little) . Williams is a great fit next to Scoot and Sharpe, and Brogdon can be traded for another pick at the trade deadline.

25 Jul 2023 14:12:59
This is going to be a Boston post:

The Celtics are going into next season with Tatum/Porzingis.

Brown is now going to sign 5/300? No way. But he will get a lot. There are no concievable stars worth targeting for Brown- Luka/Giannis/Embiid are the only three are there is no chance of any deal in those markets.

For these reasons, Boston can go all in right now and set themselves up to win 2-3 championships by trading for a fourth star.

They have as trade bait and filler:
Brogdon (22.5 mil)
Derrick White (18.3 mil)
Robert Williams (11.5 mil)
Horford (10 mil)
Pritchard (4 mil)

Celtics 2024-2031 first, Warriors 2024 first, tons of second rounders

I think Boston, if they choose to go after a third star, will look for one thing: a 2-4 year deal.

Ideas:

Package 1:

Brogdon, Horford, Robert Williams, 4 1RP, 5 2RP

Targets: Kawhi/ Zion/ Zach Lavine (for less picks)


Package 2:
Brogdon, Derrick White, Robert Williams, Payton Pritchard, 4 1RP, 4 2RP

Targets: Trae Young, Anthony Edwards, Dame, Ja Morant

Package 3 (rookie deal targets):

Robert Williams, 2 1RP

Targets: Josh Giddey

Package 4 (4th key piece, keep core but send away all of the picks):
Brogdon, 3 1RP, 3 2RP

Targets: Anfernee Simmons, Lonzo Ball (I'm not joking)

25 Jul 2023 14:46:23
I don't like Zion or Kawhi
LaVine would be a good fit in boston

I like the 2nd package, J Morant would be awesome, And T Young would be a good alternative. I don't think Minny would trade Edwards without including J Brown.

I don't see why OKC would trade Giddey

L Ball could be cheap and he provides everything Boston needs, he would be great if he can stay healty.

25 Jul 2023 14:58:51
First error. 2031 picks are not available for trade.

Second error. Lonzo Ball is not tradeable because Chicago received an approved injury exception with him missing the upcoming season.

25 Jul 2023 15:16:39
Horrible take that Brown is not getting 5/ $300 literally minutes before it is announced that Brown is getting 5/ $300.

25 Jul 2023 16:47:20
60mil a year is ridiculous for a non superstar.

25 Jul 2023 17:51:20
It looks like a lot of money, and it is, but before you know it there will be 20 players making more.

25 Jul 2023 19:28:04
NBA All-2nd-Team is a non-superstar? That is literally one of the top 10 players last season.

25 Jul 2023 19:28:58
NBA16, many more to come ?.

25 Jul 2023 20:11:27
Yup. Brown is not a superstar. I agree with NBA16. He is a legit allstar though. But about 5 players not in the 1st and 2nd all NBA is arguably better than him. He is not worth that money in any case but as mentioned above, this will be the norm in the NBA ??‍♂️.

25 Jul 2023 20:36:13
I have a hard time claiming a 6yr player with 2 all stars and 1 All-nba a superstar. I’ll give him star label.

18 Jul 2023 16:16:18
This is a pretty crazy idea here but let's play around with it:

Celtics: Ja Morant, Ben Simmons

Nets: Brogdon, Horford

Grizzlies: Derrick White, Robert Williams, Pritchard, Clowney, Jaylen Wilson Celtics 2024 first, Warriors 2024 first, Celtics 2025 swap, 2025 Suns pick (Via Nets), Celtics 2026 Pick

Celtics Roster:

Morant, Brown, Tatum, Simmons, Porzingis (win the trade here)

Memphis gets a lot in return for JA, including pairing JJJ with Rob Williams

Brooklyn loses some good young players to move Simmons contract and get a solid Brogdon in return

18 Jul 2023 22:42:34
Grizz already don’t have enough roster spots to take on all these players. And I wouldn’t trade Ja for depth pieces.

18 Jul 2023 16:04:45
Celtics sign Brown.

Celtics get Trae Young, Patty Mills

Hawks get Brogdon, White, Robert Williams, Pritchard, Celtics 2024 1st, Warriors 2024 First, Celtics 2025 swap, Celtics 2026 1st, Celtics 2027 swap

Roster:

Young
Brown
Tatum
Porzingis
Horford

20 Jul 2023 21:11:29
The Hawks won't give Trae up . Jalen Brown wants to come to the A . to play with him.

14 Jul 2023 05:51:37
gsw: graham, cedi

sas: paul, lottery protected first

gsw take 2 good rotation player, save 12 million salary and save 70 million taxes. graham and cedi can be more helpful than paul.

sas get pick and open cap space for next year with graham off the books.

14 Jul 2023 23:56:26
I like this for both teams. I'm not sure GSW has any use for 38 year old Chris Paul. The savings are significant for them & they get two younger players.

11 Jul 2023 17:00:33
Brad Stevens has been stockpiling picks to shove all in. With Brown's looming extension, the timeline fits right now for a trade. (I guess the deadline could work but easiest to get it done before Brown inks)

Celtics untouchables:

Tatum/Porzingis

The only player JB will realistically be traded for is Luka Doncic. I don't see Luka happening because Mavs are actually pretty deep right now.

I would flirt with a potential Steph Curry option if I was Boston where the Celtics give the Warriors Brown/Rob Williams and all of their picks, but this doesn't make any sense for Golden State. Kawhi two years ago would make sense but no longer. The Lakers won't move Anthony Davis, but he is an option I think the Boston would not entertain a Brown/Rob Williams for Davis swap. If Boston relocated to the West they could call about Embid but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

As of now, the Celtics are absolutely contenders with:

White/Brogdon
Brown
Tatum
Porzingis/ Horford
Rob Williams

To me, further blowing up depth only make sense if the Celtics can land a third superstar, that can take the ball up or in a Jokic-unicorn way, take pressure off Brown/Tatum's perimeter smothering. I would say Porzingis brings some of this but who knows.

Without including Brown, the Celtics can include the following assets for a trade in the coming days: Brogdon, White and Rob Williams+ all of their picks and an extra first and a ton of seconds to involve a third/ fourth team.

Trade targets with package including Brogdon/ White/ Williams and 4+ firsts: Dame/ Ja Morant/ Zion/ Trae Young/ Lamelo Ball

Everyone on here talks about Dame so I won't even get into it, but I do think a Dame/Brown/Tatum/ Porzingis core would be lethal. It doesn't seem like Dame agrees though!

Ja would be the dream and would make both Tatum and Brown better (to me more so than Dame). Celtics should do everything they possibly can to get Ja, deal with his antics and establish unequivocally the best starting 5 in the NBA for the foreseeable future (Ja/Brown/Tatum/ Porzingis+ it could even be me (a 6 foot on paper Jewish guy at center!).

Zion doesn't fit or improve the Brown/ Tatum/ Porzingis pairing. If Brad is sold on Zion being the next Lebron, a Brown/Zion swap could make sense but otherwise this is a pass. For the record, I am absolutely not sold on Zion so let's just write this off for the sake of moving along.

Trae Young is interesting. This is a second-tier option to JA. I don't really know why the Hawks would bite but if it can get done, the Celtics would be set nicely for the future.

I'm joking about Lamelo. Calm down. Just keep reading.

Trade targets for package not including Rob Williams: (Brogdon/ White/ couple firsts):
Zach Lavine/ CJ McCollum/ KAT/ Siakam/ Derozan/ Paul George

Porzingis and KAT don't make sense. Lavine won't take the ball up. Derozan and PG shouldn't even be on this list.

CJ McCollum is interesting. Is he a major improvement over White? Yes, I actually think he is. Is he an absolute true point guard? No. Does Brogdon and a couple of picks down the road make up the difference? I'm not sure but neither is Brad Stevens so it's probably a pass.

Bottom line: Robert Williams is certainty a fit with Tatum/Brown/Porzingis at center. Health comes into question but let's ignore that for now.

Unfortunately, Brogdon and White sharing the point with Pritchard may just not be enough to take pressure of the Jays and actually help them improve.

Essentially, the Celtics could put themselves in an even better position if they could pull of a trade for Ja, Dame or Trae. Brown/Tatum/Porzingis+ a third star (may I say fourth?) at guard gets makes the Celtics overwhelming title favorites and cements them as the best NBA roster for the foreseeable future.

11 Jul 2023 20:01:53
If I were the Celtics I would trade Jalen Brown to Blazers for Scoot Henderson + Simons + Nurkic

Dame can stay with Portland. Celtics avoid the break the bank extension for Brown. Scoot looks like he could be ready to help this year if not next year. They would be set for several years.

11 Jul 2023 20:29:40
You can add as many late first as you want, but you're not getting another star without getting rid of brown teams aren't stupid.

12 Jul 2023 10:34:28
What if. The Celtics and Brown reach an agreement. They can now trade him after a year.
It's been floated that the Celtics could offer Brown and Porzingis ( and whatever else) to Milwaukee for Giannis, who's a FA, after next season?

I know he wants to play in LA. But who knows, a lot can happen in a year.

12 Jul 2023 20:38:37
Once they offer the max extension to Brown, the Celtics are stuck with him for better or worse. I hope it works out, but I fear that his contract will eventually be labeled as the worst contract in the league. taking the place of Ben Simmons.

12 Jul 2023 21:14:28
Is Portland stuck with Dame? No, they're not. He's going to be traded. Max and Supermax deals are now the norm. Those deals will be as tradable as they always were.

I think signing a supermax deal, makes him more tradable not less. If they traded Brown now, they would obviously get less, because Brown would be a rental. If he's signed, they can't trade him for a year, but since his salary is set, teams would trade for him and the C's would get much more value.

13 Jul 2023 00:44:01
Brogdon and picks for Terry Rozier. That’s it.

13 Jul 2023 03:29:13
How would Brown’s contract come anywhere close to the worst in the league (minus a mental or physical breakdown)? He’s 26. He’s averaged 23+, 6+, 3+ on borderline elite efficiency the last 3 years. He’s a good defender. He plays an important position and can play multiple positions.

I just don’t see it.

08 Jul 2023 09:30:18

08 Jul 2023 14:06:41
You have very little understanding of the Wolves if you think McDaniels would be the backup PF. And you have Hield as the backup SF? Isn't he like 6-4?

09 Jul 2023 03:19:37
McDaniels starts over Slo Mo, no?

07 Jul 2023 09:41:53
Cleveland receives: Jonathan Kuminga, Gary Payton II & Kevon Looney
Golden State receives: Jarrett Allen

Why?
Cleveland goes small & adds a wing with upside & develops him properly.
Golden State gets a center that fits next to Draymond.

07 Jul 2023 15:06:19
Yea, not seeing Golden State trading Looney for Allen. Golden State needs to add bigs not exchange bigs.
