Draymond Green was almost a Memphis Grizzly
The summer of 2023 was a pivotal one for the Golden State Warriors. After a volatile season started with Draymond Green punching Jordan Poole during a preseason practice, the team’s title defense ended with a second-round playoff loss. Poole and Wiggins got contract extensions in the wake of the championship, while Green did not, despite […]
Could Steph Curry be next NBA star to host Saturday Night Live?
Fresh off of bringing the New York Knicks their first title in more than 50 years, Jalen Brunson has been tapped to host the season premiere of “Saturday Night Live.” It may have to wait until he retires, but Steph Curry should be the next hooper to take the stage at 30 Rock. The city […]
Warriors were ‘in the mix’ for Ben Simmons
Put another shrimp on the barbie in Sacramento, mates. Ben Simmons is coming to the Sacramento Kings. Simmons put down his fishing pole and got back into the gym this summer, joining the Australian national team in a mini-camp this summer and later showcasing for NBA executives in Florida. What Kings general manager Scott Perry […]
NBA throws the book at Clippers
Count me among the cynics who thought that Steve Ballmer was simply too rich, too friendly with NBA commissioner Adam Silver, and had too many lawyers to face serious punishment for his team’s blatant attempts to circumvent the salary cap with a series of shady endorsement deals for Kawhi Leonard. The punishment Silver and the […]
Warriors fan survey: How much longer will Steph Curry play?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Warriors fans and fans across the country. Golden State Warriors fans have been blessed to get to watch Steph Curry play for 17 years now. It’s been one hell of a journey, filled […]
Warriors leak another almost-trade
If the Golden State Warriors front office has specialized in anything over the last few seasons, it’s in coming oh-so-close to adding stars, whether in trades or free agency. Now another All-Star has joined the stunning roster of almost-Warriors. Anthony Slater reported that the Warriors were “exploring a trade” for Jaren Jackson, Jr. at last […]

Hey there, Dub Nation. I’m here to let you know that it’s a big day for Golden State Of Mind. Because today, the SB Nation app is live, and it’s the best way for you to follow the Warriors, read about the Warriors, comment on the Warriors, and argue about the Warriors. You can download […]
Atlantic division watch: Celtics sent Jaylen Brown packing
Still making my way through the Atlantic Division as I explore the world of basketball around us. I feel like LeVar Burton doing Reading Rainbow, except instead of riveting children’s stories, I’m learning about why nobody has won back-to-back titles since the Golden State Warriors last did it between 2017 and 2018. One of those […]
Atlantic division watch: Will Kawhi join the Raptors?
I’ve been hanging out in the Western Conference doing my division by division analysis, until my phone started blowing up from my college buddies in the Eastern time zone. They wanna hear what the Gold Blooded King is seeing with their teams too apparently. Ask, and you shall receive my friends! But where to start? […]
Southwest division watch: Did Wemby just pull a Duncan?
Dub Nation! This has been a piece I’ve been looking forward to writing for a minute as we finish our recap of the offseason moves of the Southwest division. The San Antonio Spurs won the Western Conference Finals and in my mind would have won the NBA Finals if they had that dawg in them. […]
Southwest division watch: Will the Pelicans ever fly?
Another division, another team that is trying to find a better day now that the Golden State Warriors dynasty is on its last legs. We’re in the Southwest division now; let’s take it straight to the bottom. I’m not just talking about the division standings, I’m talking the Bayou where the New Orleans Pelicans reside. […]
Southwest division watch: Can Rockets put it all together?
Let’s keep it rolling like a runaway train Dub Nation, alllll through the divisions as we break down what these other franchises have been up to this summer. I remember back during the dynasty’s heyday I would smirk and chuckle as other teams spun the wheel of transactions looking for a prayer against the Golden […]
Southwest division watch: Are Grizzlies fine in the West without Morant?
Dub Nation let’s keep cruising through the Western Conference, particularly the Southwest conference. Let’s take a trip down to Beale St and listen to some blues and eat some good BBQ. If you caught my piece back in February about Memphis eating itself alive from the inside, you already know the shape of this one. […]
Southwest division watch: Mavericks planting their Flagg
Hey folks we’re back at it, going division by division figuring out just who the Golden State Warriors should be concerned about this season. And after the way things turned out last year when the wounded Dubs didn’t even make the postseason, that answer could easily be anybody. But one of the teams GSW had […]
Trio of key Golden State Valkyries players heading to World Cup
The Golden State Valkyries officially suspended the contracts of Gabby Williams, Janelle Salaün, Cecilia Zandalasini, and Miela Sowah since those four players are heading to the 2026 FIBA World Cup. Williams and Salaün will remain teammates as they look to lead France to a tournament victory. Zandalasini (Italy) and Sowah (Australia) will be the sole […]
Northwest division watch: Thunder trim payroll, still dangerous
Let’s keep the sports analysis rolling, Dub Nation. Welcome to Oklahoma City, the final stop before we leave the Northwest division for good. This last team on my list in my division by division recap of the offseason shenanigans is the team that didn’t have the greatness to repeat as champions last season, the Thunder. […]
Northwest division watch: Blazers reloaded with Morant, Lillard
Anybody else in Dub Nation get tired of Portland smacking the Golden State Warriors around last year? The Warriors spent most of last season fighting for their lives in the Western Conference standings, and somehow a Trail Blazers team that wasn’t supposed to be anywhere near the top of their list of problems kept showing […]
Northwest division watch: Jazz activating youth movement
Back at it Dub Nation, taking a virtual tour around the NBA’s offseason division by division to see what’s happening. The Golden State Warriors are trying to recapture their championship magic against a bunch of teams that are more than happy to put the dynasty to sleep for good. We’re still cruising through the Northwest […]
Northwest division watch: Wolves add Kuminga, Ball
Let’s it get it Dub Nation. I’m taking a look around the league this summer division by freakin’ division to see what all the big hubbub is about. Now that the Warriors are apparently playing out the flickering hopes of their dynasty, it’s more important than ever to see who is standing in the way […]
Former Warriors, Lakers big man signs one-year deal with Real Madrid
Real Madrid FC announced the team’s basketball squad has signed free agent center Damian Jones to a one-year deal earlier this week. Jones spent eight seasons in the NBA from 2016-2024, but has been unable to return to the most prestigious basketball league. Over the past two years, Jones has primarily played in China with […]
Northwest division watch: Nuggets lose Watson, get DeRozan
As the offseason settles into the quiet, I’m taking a Warriors-centric look at Northwest Division. Let’s chat about those Denver Nuggets. They let 23-year old baller Peyton Watson walk and added a 37-year-old DeMar DeRozan. Watson signed a four-year, $22 million deal with Cleveland in a sign-and-trade while Denver told itself Watson’s number was too […]
Warriors bringing former first-round pick to training camp
The Golden State Warriors only tentatively filled their final roster spots when they signed Georges Niang and Brandon Williams to contracts that were partially and non-guaranteed, respectively. That’s why their Exhibit 10 signing of Dalen Terry may be more than just training camp depth and stocking the roster of the Santa Cruz Warriors. Terry was […]
SB Nation Reacts: The Brandin Podziemski extension
Brandin Podziemski’s impending extension with the Golden State Warriors represents a critical crossroad for the franchise’s cap management. Eligible for a rookie-scale extension, the 23-year-old guard’s camp seeks a payday in the $22–$25 million range annually, driven by his starting-level production, high-IQ passing, and relentless rebounding. However, Golden State prefers a conservative $15–$18 million sweet […]
Details of Warriors deals with Williams, Niang leaves room for competition
While it seemed like the Golden State Warriors had finalized their roster when they signed Brandon Williams and Georges Niang earlier this week, the terms of the deals suggest another tweak or two could remain. Per Michael Scott of Hoopshype, neither Niang nor Williams’ one-year deals are fully guaranteed, leaving space for a dark horse […]
Warriors fan survey: How do you like the recent signings?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Warriors fans and fans across the country. The Golden State Warriors went a few months without making any roster moves other than re-signing their own players. Finally, earlier this week, the Dubs ended […]
