Golden State Warriors Fans Have Request For NBA During Offseason
Golden State Warriors Fans Have Request For NBA During Offseason originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Golden State Warriors, along with 27 other teams, are watching the NBA Finals ensue just before the offseason kicks off. Advertisement Soon, the NBA Draft will roll around, followed quickly by free agency and the Summer League. The Warriors will have an actionable offseason plan ready to build around Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green. Late in the season, it was made clear that Golden State can build around the trio while competing at the highest level. Still, Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. is going to have to make big offseason moves. While the franchise aims to make proper basketball moves -- like bringing in a big man or adding perimeter shooting -- they've also got the opportunity to make identity changes. Jerseys, branding and identity are something fans keep a close eye on. Every team already has a leaked city jersey, which is simply a rumor at this point in time, with nothing having been confirmed. This design mock-up is similar to a past edition of the city uniforms the Warriors used. Still, Golden State fans have a clear favorite and wish for the NBA to deploy once again. Advertisement They want the league to return the Warriors' classic jersey to their lineup. "I'm saying," one fan responded, giving their stamp of approval. Another fan responded with three fire emojis, seconding the motion. Fans across the league often enjoy having a splash of a classic feel in the Rolodex of jerseys each season, complementing the two main jerseys and the city jersey. Some teams, like the Orlando Magic, are implementing their classic look into their everyday wear. If the Warriors were to add a classic jersey, specifically the one the fans were raving about, to their lineup, they would certainly receive a positive reaction.

The Golden State Warriors could choose to re-sign Jonathan Kuminga in free agency
The Golden State Warriors could choose to re-sign Jonathan Kuminga in free agency Jonathan Kuminga's long-term future with the Golden State Warriors has been a hot topic of discussion in recent weeks. The explosive forward is heading into restricted free agency. However, his inability to earn a consistent role within Steve Kerr's rotation has led to some debates regarding the Warriors' willingness to pay his market value. However, it would now seem that Kuminga is more likely to remain in the Bay Area than he is to leave. NBC Sports' Monte Poole recently noted that the common consensus around the NBA is that the franchise will look to retain Kuminga heading into the 2025-26 season. "The scuttlebutt around the NBA is that the Warriors will very likely find a way to hang onto JK," Poole said. "It doesn't mean he's going to be a long-term answer. They can just move him later." Kuminga has consistently flashed his upside when given the opportunity. He impressed during the postseason, even when sharing the floor with Jimmy Butler. Still, it's worth noting, that according to ESPN's Bobby Marks, retaining Kuminga could hamstring the Warriors ability to further improve the roster this summer. "It all depends on Kuminga," Marks said on the "Willard and Dibs" show. "He really controls free agency in Golden State, because if they sign him to a contract and bring him back, that's really it. That's all they can do this offseason." Golden State has a tough decision ahead. Losing Kuminga would likely entail a sign-and-trade, but that doesn't mean it would hurt the team's wing depth. However, if Kerr can't find a legitimate role for him, then letting hip develop elsewhere in the league may be the best option. Otherwise, the Warriors may find themselves searching for a trade partner next summer, as they look to maximize their return on Kuminga's undoubted talent.

Warriors Facing Potential $30 Million Decision in Offseason
Warriors Facing Potential $30 Million Decision in Offseason originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Steph Curry's injury might just turn out to be some form of blessing in disguise for the Golden State Warriors. Advertisement The former back-to-back Most Valuable Player winner suffered a hamstring injury in Game 1 of the Warriors' second-round NBA playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves, which ultimately cost him the rest of the series. The Warriors struggled mightily without Curry, eventually falling to Minnesota, 4-1, and it just emphasized the need to get this man some help. The result of losing their best player in the Wolves series might just force the Warriors' hand to make a big move in the offseason. They already swung for the fences with the Jimmy Butler deal, and it appears it still wasn't enough. Curry's injury, along with the fact that he has just a few more prime years remaining, could serve as enough motivation for the Warriors to go all out this summer. One player that has already been linked to Golden State is Indiana Pacers big man Myles Turner, who is competing for a championship in the NBA Finals. The 6-foot-11 center is entering free agency this summer, where he is expected to be one of the most coveted players on the market. Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (33) controls the rebound against New York Knicks guard Josh Hart (3). Wendell Cruz-Imagn Images A new report from NBA insider Jake Fischer has indicated the Pacers remain in the driver's seat in terms of re-signing Turner in free agency. The report also indicated the 29-year-old is expected to bag a massive deal in the offseason. Advertisement "There is a strong sentiment among various league executives that Turner will re-sign with Indiana," Fischer reported. "Cap strategists are projecting his salary to land in the $30 million range in terms of average annual value." In 72 regular-season games with the Pacers, Turner averaged 15.6 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game. During Indiana's postseason run, Turner is scoring 15.2 points, pulling down 5.1 rebounds and blocking 2.2 shots. Given their salary cap situation, the Warriors won't be able to compete with other teams in free agency. They could, however, still acquire his services via a potential sign-and-trade deal. With the Pacers seemingly determined to retain Turner, the only way he ends up with the Warriors is if Turner is unable to agree to terms with his current team. This could open a window of opportunity for Golden State, but this will force them to make a big decision on whether or not they are willing to give Turner the money he wants. Advertisement The Warriors will also need to let go of some major assets — potentially Jonathan Kuminga and draft capital — in order to lure Turner away from Indiana. On top of that, Golden State also will need to perform significant cap-space maneuvering in order to accommodate Turner's potential $30 million contract. There's no denying that it's going to be a risky move for the Warriors, but considering what Turner brings to the table on both ends of the floor, it could be the type of make-or-break decision Golden State needs to make to contend for a championship in 2026 and beyond.
