Warriors Withholding Payments To Kristaps Porzingis
The Golden State Warriors are withholding $218,341 per game from Kristaps Porzingis' $20 million 2026‑27 salary, claiming he hasn't rendered services under his contract. The 31‑year‑old big man, out indefinitely with an undisclosed health issue and possibly contemplating retirement, hasn't been at the team's facilities since early October. While the salary hold doesn’t affect trade possibilities, the Warriors had hoped he’d be more present despite his diagnosed POTS condition. Sources say the club may label his absence a failure to render services, keeping trade talks alive.

NBA rumors: Insider dumps cold water on Warriors using Kristaps Porzingis to trade for Lauri Markkanen
An NBA insider says the Warriors’ rumored pursuit of Lauri Markkanen is unlikely because Kristaps Porzingis’ $20 million expiring salary doesn’t match Markkanen’s higher wages. To make the trade work, Golden State would have to include Draymond Green, which the insider deems "far‑fetched" given the salary cap constraints. The chatter follows years of interest from the Warriors, including failed talks in 2024 and 2025, but Porzingis remains sidelined with illness and his future remains uncertain.
Dalen Terry Signs Two-Year Deal With Thunder
Free‑agent wing Dalen Terry (2022 18th‑overall pick) signs a two‑year, likely non‑guaranteed veteran‑minimum deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder, per ESPN's Shams Charania.

He averages 3.5 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 11.2 minutes.

“Warriors Should Have Five Titles”: Stephen A. Smith Brings Up LeBron James Moment That Cost Golden State After Draymond Green Recent Ejection
Stephen A. Smith links Draymond Green’s recent ejection—after a tussle with Phoenix Suns center Khaman Maluach that led to two technicals—to the infamous 2016 NBA Finals incident when Green’s suspension helped LeBron James and the Cavaliers mount a comeback. Smith argues that despite Green’s therapy work, his disciplinary record (six career suspensions and numerous postseason techs) threatens the Warriors’ title hopes, even as Steve Kerr and Stephen Curry downplay the incident following a 116-113 win over Phoenix. The analyst urges Green to stay composed, noting no further suspension is currently expected.

When the game is on the line, where has Devin Booker gone?
Devin Booker's clutch performance has sharply declined since February 1, 2026. In 11 tight-game appearances he posted a 3‑8 record, shooting 6‑20, with a –34 plus/minus and five assists to eight turnovers. By contrast, his first 19 clutch games that season were a bright 11‑8, 51.2% shooting and +27 plus/minus.

The drop resurfaced on Nov. 2 against Golden State, where Booker’s 1‑of‑2 shooting, two turnovers and an offensive foul helped Phoenix lose. The article questions whether this is a fleeting slump or a deeper issue for the $57 million guard.
