With the Golden State Warriors surrounded by rumors ahead of the Feb. 5 deadline, there is no doubt that the team will be a hot topic to potentially make some moves.
Stephen Curry’s draft profile had asked the NBA franchises not rely on him to run a team. Look how the tables have turned! Well, Curry might not express his exhaustion after 17 seasons and 4 rings.
The Golden State Warriors could be a team that is ready to make moves before the deadline, and it makes perfect sense as to why. With Jimmy Butler out for the remainder of the season, it will be imperative for them to find quality wing depth.
Jimmy Butler’s out, and the Golden State Warriors now have the urge to make an upgrade. As much as Jonathan Kuminga fills in, he’s asked for a trade. The front office is hence tasked with finding a suitable piece to finish the season and contribute beyond.
The Golden State Warriors look lifeless after Jimmy Butler's season-ending torn ACL. They could use a jolt of size, athleticism and scoring punch. Someone like Miles Bridges can provide that.
Most NBA players, no matter how successful, are out of the league before the end of their 30s, or even their 20s. That leaves a lot of life left to live, and a good handful of players have made the most of their professional lives after leaving the court.
The Golden State Warriors have faced many ups and downs this season. They’d have liked a better record, but their 25-21 tally (eighth in West) means they have built some space for a big run.
Draymond Green never misses a chance to defend his friends, especially when that friend is the NBA’s all-time leading scorer. The Golden State Warriors veteran went scorched earth on Los Angeles Lakers governor Jeanie Buss following reports that she had privately criticized LeBron James.
Jonathan Kuminga left the Golden State Warriors’ 123-115 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday after injuring his left ankle and knee on the same play.
Jonathan Kuminga has been in the headlines for some time due to his struggles with the Golden State Warriors. He has faced ongoing inconsistency in his role on the team since last season, and these challenges have intensified as he has fallen completely out of the rotation.
Draymond Green has a history of getting himself kicked out of games when Steph Curry is unavailable. That might extend to games when Jimmy Butler is out.
The mood in the Warriors’ locker room is obviously not great. They lost Jimmy Butler in a brutal fashion and now Jonathan Kuminga could be sidelined for the foreseeable future.
Jonathan Kuminga’s exit clock continues to tick in Golden State. Kuminga left Thursday’s game against Dallas after twisting his left ankle and hyperextending his left knee, per Anthony Slater of The Athletic.
The legendary trio of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green had a touching moment following the Golden State Warriors’ game against the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday night.
It looks like the Golden State Warriors would not let their dynasty go out without a fight. Despite Jimmy Butler’s prolonged absence due to an ACL injury, the Dubs are still looking for ways to improve in the hopes of sending off Stephen Curry with one last ring before retiring.
Draymond Green was at it again during Thursday’s game. The Golden State Warriors star Green had another controversial moment during his team’s matchup against the Dallas Mavericks.
The Golden State Warriors' most realistic path to contention this season is to trade Jimmy Butler to a rebuilding team with a player who has a huge contract that team is trying to get off.
Jonathan Kuminga remains very much in play, but the Warriors are not operating from a place of desperation. ESPN’s Tim MacMahon said on SportsCenter that Golden State is actively shopping Kuminga ahead of the February 5 trade deadline, while also making it clear they will not force a deal just to make one.
Golden State is not a championship-contending team right now, even with Stephen Curry averaging 27.1 points per game on 46.8 percent shooting from the floor.
The contracts of Golden State Warriors stars Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green all expire after the 2026-27 season. Some of the Warriors' assistant coaches think their head coach won't even be around that long.
Speaking to the media prior to Tuesday’s game against Toronto, Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. said he doesn’t envision trading Jimmy Butler in the wake of his season-ending torn right ACL, per Anthony Slater of ESPN (Twitter video link).
