More of the same: Warriors agree to one-year deal with Gary Payton II
We finally have confirmation that the Golden State Warriors will indeed be re-signing Gary Payton II. While rumors have swirled for weeks that the Dubs and Payton were expected to agree to a veteran minimum deal to return, Marc Stein of SteinLine reported on Saturday morning that the two sides were expected to finalize a […]
Can Warriors fans envision Klay in a Heat jersey?
Every time Klay Thompson’s name shows up in a trade rumor that doesn’t involve Golden State, there’s a version of me that flinches a little. Watching him drain threes in a Mavericks jersey on Christmas Day was already enough of an adjustment for one lifetime. But if the sharpshooter with the quickest release we’ve ever […]
Are the 76ers the best roster LeBron’s ever had?
In 2022 when the Warriors won their last title, if you told me that one day LeBron James, Joel Embiid, Jaylen Brown, and D(ean) Wade would be on the 76ers I’d be like hell to the naw naw. (Also, where is Ben Simmons?!) And yet here we are! Here’s the part that should scare the […]
Report: Warriors eyeing several free agent veterans to round out roster
The Golden State Warriors still need to add some players to fill out their roster, and it seems they’ve narrowed down the candidates. According to a recent report by Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints, the Dubs are considering center Kelly Olynyk, combo guard Brandon Williams, and guard Gabe Vincent for the team’s final three roster spots […]
The Cavaliers lost more than a series this summer
There’s a beautiful kind of joy that comes from watching a fanbase feel invincible for exactly one quarter. Rewind to Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Cavaliers are up 22. Donovan Mitchell’s cooking, the crowd at the Garden is booing its own team, and somewhere in Cleveland, ten years of championship famine is […]
Report: Warriors still considering re-signing Gary Payton II
While the Golden State Warriors have re-signed Draymond Green as they fill out their roster after losing the LeBron James sweepstakes, Dubs free agent Gary Payton II remains on the market. However, according to a report by Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints, Payton remains “in consideration for a minimum deal from the Warriors” as the front […]
Report: Warriors eyeing another run at Rockets SF Kevin Durant
The Golden State Warriors front office will not be dodging any of the criticism that they only are willing to make the obvious moves after a report by Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints that the Dubs front office “has not completely moved on from the idea of one day reuniting Curry with former Warrior and two-time […]
Will the Thunder shake off the nightmare ending to their title reign?
Somewhere in Oklahoma City right now there’s a front office that understands something the rest of the league is still catching up on. Seventy-three wins isn’t a number. It’s a dare. And this year the Thunder walked right up to it, put their hand on the door, and found out the same thing Dub Nation […]
The Spurs just learned the 2012 Thunder lesson
I consider myself something of a modern day basketball historian. With the rise of the internet and misinformation, it’s easy for people to get caught up in the hoopla of social media and miss parallels to the past that teach us so much about basketball and life. That’s what got me thinking about the San […]
Rival report: The Clippers are still waiting on their offseason
The Warriors’ rival report has it’s final opponent in the crosshairs down in L.A. but it ain’t the Lakers. The Clippers are the one Pacific team whose offseason can’t really be graded yet, because the trade that defines it hasn’t actually closed. Before Golden State gets to the part of the summer where every team’s […]
Rival report: Kings’ financial situation hamstringing moves
Keeping it moving here on the rival report here at GSOM, we’re working through the Pacific Divsion to give a shout out to the moribund Kings. Sacramento is still one of the first teams the Warriors have to solve every season. Before we start obsessing over whatever superteam the rest of the league built this […]
Rival report: Bridges changed the story of the Suns’ offseason
Let’s get back to the Warriors’ divisional rivals out in the big blue Pacific, continuing with the Suns. I previously broke down their draft day strategy and now we’re talking what happened after free agency. Phoenix is the team that ended the Warriors’ season last spring, in a play-in elimination game that still stings a […]
Rival report: Lakers bet big on Kessler and life after LeBron
Right after the draft and before free agency I wrote a series talking about what the Golden State Warriors divisional rivals had been cooking up. It’s time to take it to the next level and talk about what these foos did after that. The Los Angeles Lakers are a team the Warriors have to worry […]
Yaxel Lendeborg wasn’t the MVP of last year’s draft interview
The Golden State Warriors seem very excited about rookie Yaxel Lendeborg, the No. 11 pick in this year’s draft who won Summer League MVP. That’s a marked change from their feelings after interviewing Lendeborg before the 2025 draft, a meeting in which he was “acting like a jackass.” Lendeborg had just finished two seasons at […]
How will the Knicks fare with the biggest target on their back?
Good morning New York! So you broke a championship curse that spanned five decades. Fifty-three years since the last banner went up, and now there’s a new one. Welcome to the club nobody tells you the rules of until you’re already a member. You are the curse breaker, the uplifter of community, the beacon of […]
Warriors front office was split on Anthony Davis deal
Would LeBron James have joined the Golden State Warriors if they’d traded for Anthony Davis? We’ll never know, but a portion of the team’s front office wanted to try. According to Logan Murdock of The Ringer, “a small contingent of Golden State’s front office” wanted to trade Jimmy Butler and presumably some number of draft […]
Why Didn’t LeBron want to join Steph Curry?
Got a question for ya gang. Who exactly turns down the chance to play with a guy who has a living, breathing wing in the Hall of Fame while he’s still active in the league? Steph Curry already has a permanent wing in the Hall of Fame before his career is even over. And LeBron […]
Jimmy Butler represents Golden State’s silent belief
Every kid I know from my generation has asked their mom for McDonald’s and gotten the same answer. Not “no” but something worse: “We got McDonald’s at home.” And you already know what’s in that deep freezer. A brick of hamburger meat, shoved behind the frozen peas since March, frosted over like Arnold Schwarzenegger in […]
Can the Warriors improve without additions?
If you’re a Golden State Warriors fan who uses social media, then you’ve probably seen a fairly depressing graphic floating around the internet in one of its many iterations. The images and numbers vary from graphic to graphic, but the point remains the same: there have been countless moves made in the NBA this offseason. […]
Warriors survey: How much will Yaxel Lendeborg play?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Golden State fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. The Golden State Warriors, to the surprise of nobody, drafted arguably the most NBA-ready player […]
The Warriors made their Jaylen Brown bet
Somewhere in a war room at Chase Center, someone looked at Jaylen Brown’s name on a trade sheet and said no thanks. A 29-year-old Finals MVP, a two-way wing who just averaged career highs across the board, and the front office that’s supposed to be building Steph Curry’s last great chapter took a pass. FASCINATING. […]
Are the Warriors fine running it back outside of title conversation?
There was a version of me, years ago, who spent way too many nights doing something I’d never admit to the average person walking down the street. I’d hop from team blog to team blog under the infamous blogboi moniker of Goldbloodedking, deep in enemy territory, soaking up whatever fear and doubt was leaking out […]
Warriors re-sign Draymond Green to one-year, $27.7 million deal
The Golden State Warriors have agreed to a deal with longtime franchise icon Draymond Green, agreeing to a one-year, $27.7 million deal, per ESPN’s Shams Charania. While Green’s sizable salary may seem larger than market rate, the Dubs are seemingly matching the player option he opted out earlier this offseason. Normally players only opt out […]
Poll: How much do Warriors fans want a Klay Thompson reunion?
Things haven’t gone particularly well for Klay Thompson on the court since he left the Golden State Warriors two offseasons ago. He signed a three-year deal with the Dallas Mavericks with the intention of competing for a title with Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving, but the latter has played just 50 games over those two […]
Draymond Green expected to return to Warriors at same salary
When Draymond Green opted out of his $27.7M salary for next season, it was purely to give the Golden State Warriors the financial flexibility to pursue his good buddy LeBron James. Now that James has chosen the Philadelphia 76ers, it appears that the Warriors are simply going to give him the salary he gave up. […]
