Warriors Not In Position To Offer LeBron Full MLE After Porzingis Deal

The Warriors, after agreeing to a two-year, $40 million deal with Kristaps Porzingis, sit roughly $27 million below the first apron, making the full non-taxpayer midlevel exception (~$15.1M) for LeBron James unlikely. They may try to free cap space by trading Moses Moody, but hard caps tied to the apron complicate any significant MLE usage. LeBron’s destination remains fluid, with renewed momentum around a potential move as Lakers discussions continue.

Porziņģis stays in Golden State on 2-year, $40M deal

Kristaps Porziņģis re-signs with the Golden State Warriors on a two-year, $40 million contract (second year as a player option). After being acquired from Atlanta at the trade deadline, he averaged 16.1 points on 43.3% shooting in 15 games for Golden State, adding to a 533-game career average of 19.5 PPG and a 2024 championship with the Celtics; career 3-point percentage is 36.4% (31.1% with GS).

Warriors cap crunch tightens as Green opts out and Porzingis signs

Draymond Green declined his $27.6 million player option, and Kristaps Porzingis agreed to a two-year, $40 million deal, pushing Golden State’s payroll to about $177 million across nine players and likely limiting their ability to add top talent, including making the $15 million non-taxpayer midlevel exception unavailable for moves such as pursuing LeBron James.

Warriors at a Crossroads: Curry, Kerr and the Next Chapter

Warriors at a Crossroads: Curry, Kerr and the Next Chapter

Golden State’s season ended with a 111-96 loss to Phoenix, leaving Curry’s future, Kerr’s coaching status and a reshaped roster at the center of an pivotal offseason. Lingering knee issues for Curry, Jimmy Butler’s ACL injury and the influx of new pieces (Porziņģis, Podziemski) have changed the dynasty’s math, forcing tough decisions on extensions, potential trades, and how to balance short‑term championship aims with long‑term cap realities. The Warriors must decide whether Kerr returns, how aggressively to re-sign Curry and Green, and how to navigate eligibility and value of key role players amid a crowded, high-salaried roster.

Not over yet: Curry fuels Warriors' gritty play-in win

Golden State refuses to quit, rallying past the Clippers in the play-in behind Stephen Curry’s 35 points (27 in the second half) and a decisive late surge, as Draymond Green anchors the defense and Kerr celebrates a moment that suggests the Warriors’ era isn’t finished. Kristaps Porzingis provides timely scoring and Gui Santos contributes down the stretch, setting up a do-or-die matchup with the Suns and fueling thoughts on roster moves to keep the run alive.

Kerr retracts Porzingis illness remarks, defers to medical experts

Warriors coach Steve Kerr said he misspoke by calling Kristaps Porzingis’ illness and supposed POTS diagnosis misinformation, calling it a stupid mistake and noting medical details are for professionals. Porzingis has been out with a contagious illness, with Kerr saying the issue is unrelated to any prior POTS diagnosis; the 7-foot-2 center has been limited in games since joining Golden State, recently returned to practice, and his status for Monday’s game versus the Clippers remains uncertain.

Warriors postpone Porzingis debut until after All-Star break amid health plan

Golden State will delay Kristaps Porzingis’ debut until after the All-Star break and sit him out for at least the next three games as the team takes a cautious approach given his injury history. Stephen Curry may also miss time until after the break, with Porzingis’ return anticipated post-break, potentially against his former team Boston.

Perkins Questions Porzingis Trade as Warriors Pivot at Deadline

ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins slammed the Warriors’ deadline-day swap for Kristaps Porzingis, saying the move doesn’t move the needle for Golden State after all the Giannis Antetokounmpo chatter. Golden State sent Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield to Atlanta in exchange for Porzingis, a decision aimed more at freeing cap space for a potential big offseason move than shoring up this season. Perkins suggested Kuminga could flourish with the Hawks, making him the clear beneficiary of the deal, while questions linger about whether the Warriors can contend immediately.

Warriors swap Kuminga and Hield for Porziņģis, plus Trayce Jackson-Davis deal

The Golden State Warriors are trading Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield to the Atlanta Hawks for Kristaps Porziņģis, a deal announced by team sources. Kuminga has had an up-and-down season, while Porziņģis, though a high-end floor-spacer and defender when healthy, has been limited by injuries and carries an expiring contract. In a separate move, Golden State sent Trayce Jackson-Davis to Toronto for a 2026 second-round pick.

Celtics' Offseason Shakeup: Stevens Explains Key Trades and Roster Changes

The Boston Celtics officially completed trades for Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, which restricts their ability to combine salaries in future trades for the next 60 days, limiting their flexibility to move other players like Anfernee Simons and Georges Niang. Despite these constraints, Celtics management expressed gratitude for the contributions of Holiday and Porzingis and excitement about adding Simons and Niang to the team.
