Trey Murphy III has a unique blend of youth, skillset, fit, contract and trade price that makes him the absolute dream trade target for the Golden State Warriors.

On this episode, why the Warriors can’t afford to miss this opportunity if it arises, and why Murphy might even be a priority over chasing the long-held dream of Giannis Antetokounmpo. 

On this episode I'm joined by Stevie Ray to unpack the explosive report from ESPN on Jonathan Kuminga's free agency as the stalemate between he and the Golden State Warriors continues.

What should each party do before the October 1 qualifying offer deadline, and how can the Warriors best maximize Kuminga once the season gets underway?

Thanks again to Stevie for jumping on and look forward to hearing more from him as the season progresses!

The Golden State Warriors continue to explore roster possibilities as they work through Jonathan Kuminga's free agency, having recently looked at a pair of young players that includes 6'9" point guard Dalano Banton.

Also on this episode, how the New York Knicks signing Landry Shamet could impact Golden State's roster plans, and could a pair of former Warrior wings be on the move as trade speculation continues?

Josh Giddey's four-year, $100 million contract with the Chicago Bulls now leaves Jonathan Kuminga as easily the most notable restricted restricted free agent left on the market.

So will Giddey's new deal exert some pressure on Kuminga and the Golden State Warriors to follow suit? Could the Bulls renew interest in the young forward after conversations in the past?

Much has been made of Al Horford's expected arrival at the Golden State Warriors and how his 3-point shooting from the center position will balance out a front court featuring Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green.

However, it's the other side of the ball where Horford could be even more important, and particularly in matchups against the best player in the world...

With Jonathan Kuminga's free agency stalemate with the Golden State Warriors stemming further into September, the likelihood of him accepting the $7.9 million qualifying offer becomes more and more likely.

Having Kuminga take that previously unthinkable path would be a disaster for the Warriors, but they would at least gain access to a forgotten trade tool that could become extremely important.

Reports suggest the Golden State Warriors have already locked in a number of free agency signings once Jonathan Kuminga's situation is resolved, leaving perhaps one roster spot between a number of options on the market.

One veteran guard easily stands above others in terms of who the Warriors should prioritize, yet it's not the direction that Mike Dunleavy Jr. and the front office may be heading.

Back after nearly a month to check in with some thoughts on the ongoing Jonathan Kuminga saga, the Warriors' other expected moves in free agency, and recent reports on their trade interest in Trey Murphy III.

Can Golden State possibly convince New Orleans to give up the 25-year-old rising star? There's a couple reasons to be optimistic, along with a four-team blockbuster mock trade that could still be completed this offseason!

The Sacramento Kings have re-emerged as perhaps the leading suitor for Jonathan Kuminga, but getting a sign-and-trade done with the Golden State Warriors is still incredibly difficult to figure out.

In this episode I’ll go through all the potential scenarios and how they would impact both teams both in the short-term and in subsequent moves further down the track.
