Porzingis returns, but Warriors fall short in OKC late run

Kristaps Porzingis returned for Golden State and logged 23 minutes with 9 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, but the Warriors couldn’t capitalize late and shot poorly from the line in a 104-97 loss at Oklahoma City. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 27 points and iced the game with a late dagger three as Golden State, short-handed without Curry and Butler, fought back with a jumbo lineup that included Porzingis. Gui Santos had a career-best 22 points and Brandin Podziemski added 17, 6, and 6 in a tough road defeat ahead of back-to-back games.

Warriors Eye LeBron James as Giannis Plan B in Free Agency

After pursuing Giannis Antetokounmpo without success, the Warriors are linked to an even bigger move: LeBron James in free agency. ESPN's Brian Windhorst named the Cavaliers and Golden State as possible destinations, with growing chatter that James could chase a fifth title away from the Lakers, though a move to Golden State would require a significant pay cut for the 41-year-old superstar.

Warriors Chase Giannis, Land Porzingis: Deadline Dilemma

The Golden State Warriors swapped Jonathan Kuminga for Kristaps Porzingis at the NBA trade deadline, a move the column treats as a modest fix that leaves the roster thin beyond Curry and Green while Porzingis carries health concerns (POTS). It criticizes the front office for chasing blockbuster deals instead of steady, incremental improvements and questions whether this path truly strengthens a championship window.

Lakers Could Target Giannis in Offseason Amid Bucks Trade Buzz

The Lakers reportedly lack enough assets for an in-season Giannis Antetokounmpo deal but could become a serious off-season contender if he’s still available; Milwaukee has drawn interest from the Warriors, who’d pitch a package including Draymond Green and Jonathan Kuminga plus draft capital, though the Bucks would want Green sent to a third team. Giannis is also linked to the Heat and Timberwolves, and Milwaukee could keep him past the deadline if its draft position helps persuade him to stay.

Warriors at a crossroads: Butler injury reshapes moves as Kuminga trade chatter persists

Golden State GM Mike Dunleavy spoke before the Raptors game about Jimmy Butler’s season-ending ACL tear, Kuminga’s trade request, and the team’s direction. He indicated Butler likely won’t be traded and the Warriors will evaluate the market ahead of the Feb. 5 deadline, weighing the value of future picks against the chance to contend now. Kuminga’s trade demand appears tepid to the market, but the front office remains open to meaningful deals, relying on Kerr’s system and improving young players plus new pieces like Horford and Melton to stay competitive.
