Warriors hire Frank Vogel as associate head coach
The Golden State Warriors are shoring up their bench for the upcoming season, agreeing to hire longtime NBA coach Frank Vogel as their new associate head coach under Steve Kerr. The high-profile addition fills a critical void on the coaching staff left by the recent departures of lead assistants Terry Stotts and Jerry Stackhouse. Longtime […]
Yaxel Lendeborg continues to shine in Warriors Vegas opener
When I arrived at Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas for the Golden State Warriors’ Summer League opener with the Dallas Mavericks, the crowd was dominated by fans waiting for the Utah Jazz-Washington Wizards battle happening in the following game. By the time the game ended, I was convinced these plucky Summer Dubs had […]
Summer League Jersey report
There are three kinds of NBA jerseys you see at Las Vegas Summer League. There’s affectionate, ironic, and regrettable. The first category is simple: Steph Curry No. 30, Kobe Bryant No. 8, Kobe Bryant No. 24, Kobe Bryant Lower Merien High No. 33. There’s a lot of Lakers fans at Summer League. Ironic is the […]
Warriors re-sign Charles Bassey
The Golden State Warriors still haven’t added any players from outside the organization this offseason (save for in the 2026 NBA Draft), but some of their reunions are fairly intriguing. On Thursday, the team agreed to a one-year deal with center Charles Bassey, as first reported by ESPN’s Shams Charania. The Warriors later announced the […]
Warriors don’t match Grizzlies contract offer for Quinten Post
Quinten Post’s tenure as a member of the Golden State Warriors has officially come to an end. On Tuesday, a few minutes before the deadline for the team to make a decision, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that Golden State had chosen not to match the offer sheet that the Memphis Grizzlies had extended to the […]
Lakers sign former Warrior Kevon Looney
If there’s one thing that Los Angeles Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka loves, it’s lying about Kobe Bryant. If there are two things he loves, it’s lying about Kobe and signing former Golden State Warriors centers. Pelinka got to do the latter on Tuesday as the Lakers agreed to a one-year minimum deal with longtime […]
SB Nation Reacts: The Kristaps Porzingis extension
The Golden State Warriors have secured center Kristaps Porzingis on a two-year, $40 million contract extension, keeping “The Unicorn” in the Bay Area through the 2027–28 season. The deal includes a player option for the second year. While the $20 million annual average value reflects Porzingis’s elite floor-spacing ability, the underlying structure highlights a masterclass […]
Quinten Post signs 3-year offer sheet with Grizzlies
It looks like Quinten Post’s time with the Golden State Warriors will end this week. On Monday, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that the sharpshooting Dutch big man was signing a three-year, $30 million offer sheet with the Memphis Grizzlies. Earlier in the offseason, the Warriors had tendered the qualifying offer to Post. Doing so made […]
Warriors California Classic roster full of familiar faces
Fans heading to the Chase Center this weekend for the California Classic will see a number of familiar faces on the Golden State Warriors’ “Team Gold.” Fans seeing the Warriors’ “Team Blue” at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento may need to buy a program. The team announced two rosters for the California Classic, an […]
Warriors reportedly on LeBron James’ short list, but don’t believe they’re at the top
In all likelihood, the LeBron James Decision 4.0 will drag on for a while. That’s great for me, as someone who benefits from a lengthy news cycle with one of the most popular players in NBA history. It’s a little less fun for impatient fans who want to know whether the league’s all-time leading scorer […]
Former Warriors guard Pat Spencer signs two-way contract with the Suns
The Golden State Warriors are bringing back a lot of the band for the 2026-27 season, but there’s one fan favorite who won’t be returning: scrappy guard Pat Spencer. According to a report from ESPN’s Shams Charania, Spencer agreed to a two-way contract with the Phoenix Suns on Thursday. Spencer, who was a lacrosse superstar […]
Valkyries forward Gabby Williams named an All-Star starter
The Golden State Valkyries, in just their second season, are sending a starter to the WNBA All-Star Game. On Thursday, forward Gabby Williams — the largest free agent signing in the franchise’s short history — was voted as a starter for the 2026 All-Star Game, which will be played on July 25 at the United […]
James Wiseman to flee the country
James Wiseman didn’t have a lot of luck in the NBA. He got drafted in Dec. 2020 and missed most of his first preseason when he got COVID. He injured his wrist and missed a month, then tore his meniscus near the end of his rookie season, which led to his missing the entirety of […]
Warriors protected pick heading to Memphis
It’s been quite a journey for the Golden State Warriors’ 2030 first-round pick. It first changed hands in the summer of 2023, when the Warriors sent half of their “second timeline” to the Washington Wizards (Jordan Poole, Ryan Rollins, Patrick Baldwin, Jr.), a 2027 second, and the 2030 first-rounder for whatever was left of Chris […]
Contract details make Porzingis deal look sweet
When the Golden State Warriors signed Kristaps Porzingis to a two-year, $40M deal, it looked like it might be an overpay. Now that the contract details are out, it’s looking like the Dubs got a steal with their sharpshooting Latvian big man. Porzingis has struggled with a mysterious health problem the last two seasons, which […]
Warriors re-sign De’Anthony Melton for 2 years, $11 million
The Golden State Warriors are looking to make a splash in free agency or through trades this offseason, but first things first: they have to make sure to keep some of their own key players. And so, two days after agreeing to an extension with Kristaps Porziņģis, the Warriors have reportedly re-signed guard De’Anthony Melton. […]

Steph Curry named finalist for Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Award
Steph Curry has watched the NBA rearrange itself like furniture in someone else’s house. Meanwhile he didn’t move; he didn’t have to. While the whole league has been playing musical chairs at the superstar table, the guy with four rings has been right where you left him. Golden State. The Bay. His throne built from […]
How the Warriors ended the Kawhi Leonard Clippers era
Kawhi Leonard is a Toronto Raptor again?! Whoaaa, eight years after he delivered the championship that shut Oracle Arena’s lights off forever, he’s headed back north for what could be the final chapter of his career. It’s rather Shakespearean about the way his current chapter with the Warriors dynasty decided to end. Not with another […]
Warriors relying on experience vs the West’s youth movement
The Western Conference is running a youth experiment, and the results are getting harder to ignore. Victor Wembanyama is already rewriting the defensive record books. Anthony Edwards is appointment television. Cooper Flagg just landed in Dallas. Chet Holmgren, Jalen Williams, Amen Thompson, and Alperen Şengün are all guys proving the best teams in the West […]
Clippers send Kawhi Leonard to Raptors
After seven years, 329 games, $294M in salary, 35 playoff games, three series wins, nearly 200 words spoken aloud, and $48M in endorsement money that led to zero trees planted, the Kawhi Leonard Era is over for the Los Angeles Clippers. The team sent Leonard to the Toronto Raptors, where he gave Canada their lone […]
The Warriors know exactly what LeBron meant to the Lakers
LeBron James gave Los Angeles an unforgettable eight years. Not eight years of playoff dominance, rings, or the league bowing at his feet in terror the way it did in Cleveland or Miami. We’re talking eight years of being exactly what the Los Angeles Lakers needed, exactly when they needed it, at every stage of […]
A Podcast Prophecy? Steph, LeBron, and the Next NBA Duo
The NBA landscape was sent into a frenzy following a recent posting of a clip of an episode of LeBron James’s Mind the Game podcast featuring guest Stephen Curry. Ostensibly a retrospective look back at their dominant gold-medal run together at the Paris Olympics, the episode has quickly transformed into the center of rampant free […]
Report: Despite Warriors rumors, Wizards ‘not interested’ in trading Anthony Davis
While reports on Monday emerged that the Golden State Warriors were preparing to pursue superstars LeBron James and Anthony Davis this offseason, a report by Marc J. Spears of Andscape seems to downplay the possibility Golden State could reunite the former teammates together. Per Spears, the Washington Wizards have no interest in trading Davis this […]
Reacts Survey Results: Warriors fans overwhelmingly approve the Yaxel Lendeborg pick
