While the NFL Draft is taking center stage in the sports world this week, it’s never too early to look ahead to the NBA Draft. With the Golden State Warriors’ 2023-24 season already wrapped up, Steve Kerr and Mike Dunleavy Jr. will have extra time to prepare for June’s draft. Despite having a head start on draft preparation, the Warriors still only have one second-round pick in the back half of the second round. While that could change when the offseason gets underway, the Warriors currently only hold one second-round pick. In the latest NBA mock draft from Sports Illustrated’s Draft Digest, t ..read more

While the Golden State Warriors season is over, the first round of the NBA postseason is in full swing. During the 2024 edition of the playoffs, 11 former members of the Warriors are on the floor around the league. On Monday night, an ex-Warrior took over playoff headlines with a game-winning shot at Madison Square Garden. In game two of the New York Knicks’ first-round battle against the Philadelphia 76ers, Donte DiVincenzo drilled a 3-pointer in the final seconds to deliver the Knicks a 104-101 lead over the Sixers. Seconds before his game-winner, DiVincenzo missed an open look from beyond t ..read more

The Golden State Warriors will likely enter the 2024 NBA draft with one second-round pick unless their first-round pick winds up in the top four, which is highly unlikely. As such, Golden State’s ability to add talent via this year’s draft appears to be limited. Nevertheless, there’s always an opportunity to snag an underrated talent late in the second round. In the latest mock draft by Jonathan Wasserman of Bleacher Report, the Warriors are projected to take 22-year-old senior Tristen Newton out of Connecticut. The 6-foot-5 guard is known for his versatility and winning playstyle. Those are t ..read more

Klay Thompson is entering unrestricted free agency. The Golden State Warriors are widely expected to re-sign the veteran sharpshooter. Earlier this season, Thompson had a stretch of games where he came off the Warriors bench as Steve Kerr looked to find a balance within his rotation. Thompson could find himself occupying a bench role more consistently next season, with Moses Moody replacing him in the starting lineup. Moody has been patiently waiting for a bigger role within the Warriors rotation over the past couple of year. “It could very well be somebody on the roster,” Kerr said. “I think ..read more

The Golden State Warriors have lacked size this season. They opted against adding Dwight Howard during the pre-season and often found themselves utilizing undersized bigs in the middle of the floor. Adding some additional height around the rim will likely be an area of focus for the front office in the coming months. According to Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley, the Warriors could have some success by opening talks with the Cleveland Cavaliers about a potential trade for Jarrett Allen. The athletic rim-runner is impressing for the Cavaliers in the opening round of the Eastern Conference playoff ..read more

The Golden State Warriors acquired Chris Paul as part of the trade that sent Jordan Poole to the Washington Wizards. He played 58 games for Steve Kerr’s team this season, averaging 9.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 6.8 assists on 44.1% shooting from the field and 37.1% shooting from the perimeter. Paul has a team option on his contract for next season worth $30 million. The Warriors are expected to decline that option, which would allow the veteran ball-handler to enter unrestricted free agency in the summer. According to Kurt Helin of NBC Sports, the Warriors could decide not to bring the veteran ..read more

The Golden State Warriors season ended abruptly at the hands of the Sacramento Kings. Steve Kerr’s team has struggled for consistency throughout their 82-game schedule, with multiple players failing to reach their usual level and some dealing with a string of injury issues. Another issue facing the Warriors was that their championship core is aging, and they’ve got a new core waiting to step up and continue their development. It’s a tough tightrope for the Warriors’ coaching staff to walk. As such, Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle has begun to question whether now is the right time ..read more

Moses Moody has struggled to earn himself a consistent spot in the Golden State Warriors rotation. He played in 66 games for Steve Kerr’s team this season, averaging 8.1 points, 3 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game on 46.2% shooting from the field and 36% shooting from 3-point range. Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. believes Moody’s struggles have been due to the Warriors’ depth in his position. He’s been fighting an uphill battle ever since the franchise acquired him with the 14th pick in the 2021 NBA draft. However, Dunleavy did note that the front office and coaching staff will explore options ..read more

Brandin Podziemski was a bright spot for the Golden State Warriors this season. The rookie wing impressed throughout the 74 regular season games he played. Steve Kerr believes there are some similarities between his rookie wing and that of Los Angeles Lakers fan favorite Austin Reaves. Kerr coached Reaves at the 2023 FIBA World Cup. As such, he understands what both players bring to a team, and how they’re able to defy expectations and prove themselves as high-level talents in the NBA. Kerr shared his thoughts while addressing the media on Friday (April 19.) “He’s a different player from Aust ..read more

For the first time since 2021, and only the third time since 2012, the Golden State Warriors missed the cut for the postseason. The Warriors’ season came to a disappointing end in ugly fashion with a loss to the Sacramento Kings in the first leg of the Western Conference Play-In Tournament. Although the Warriors’ season is over, the postseason officially got underway on Saturday with a full slate of games. While the 2023-24 edition of the Warriors won’t be on display in the playoffs, multiple former members of the Warriors who have suited up in the Bay Area at one point in their career will b ..read more
