Warriors Trade Assets Include One Young Star, Five Role Players, And Three First-Round Picks
Warriors Trade Assets Include One Young Star, Five Role Players, And Three First-Round Picks originally appeared on Fadeaway World. The 2025 offseason will be an intriguing one for the Golden State Warriors. Although their run in the postseason resulted in failure, the external causes that determined it will leave an odd taste in the mouth of members of the organization. Advertisement It was abundantly clear that a trio of Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green had what it took to make it all the way. Butler single-handedly transformed the team's status from a mediocre team to a playoff one. With this in mind, the Dubs will certainly structure their roster around their core. Having a framework in place has also allowed the Warriors to explore the positional upgrades they need to make, and as per reports, the franchise will be very aggressive in the trade market. To facilitate roster-building practices, we need to take a look at the Warriors' assets. At the current juncture, although Golden State may be slightly lacking in draft capital, they have some key roster pieces that could help them transform this team via trade. Future Star: - Jonathan Kuminga (UFA) Advertisement Five Role Players: - Brandin Podziemski ($3.7 million, guard with high upside) - Trayce Jackson-Davis ($2.2 million, prospective young center) - Moses Moody ($11.5 million, two-way player with potential) - Kevon Looney ($15.2 million, UFA, sign-and-trade is possible) - Gary Payton II ($17.3 million, UFA, sign-and-trade is possible) Future Draft Picks - First-Round Picks: 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029, 2031 - Second-Round Picks: 2025, 2030 - 2031 Second-Round Pick Swap (Rights with MIN) Team-Friendly Contracts - Buddy Hield ($9.2 million, three years) - Gui Santos ($2.2 million, one year) - Quinten Post ($1.9 million, one year) Advertisement Although Golden State's current cap and salary structure makes it difficult for them to acquire superstars via trade, their biggest asset in these cases is Jonathan Kuminga. Kuminga has been one of the team's most promising players since he was drafted. At 22 years old, the forward boasts tremendous athleticism and shot creation ability. His potential to be an All-Star has been weighed and measured by virtually every team in the league. Unfortunately, this potential will not be cultivated in the Bay Area. With his role and position clashing with Jimmy Butler, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr made it known that Kuminga would have to be relegated to the bench for the betterment of the team. Needless to say, the young star, who has already been on questionable terms with Kerr, is more than likely to find himself finding a new home in the summer. Kuminga has made his aspirations of being an All-Star known. And with an average of 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game on 45.4% FG, he is certainly on the path to becoming one. Advertisement With this in mind, the Warriors' ideal situation is to structure any deal with Kuminga as the centerpiece. A sign-and-trade deal involving the forward would help the Warriors match the financial demands of most superstars. While the 22-year-old may be the Warriors' best chance at landing a superstar, the team still has enough assets to facilitate trades for key role players. The most important among these is the team's draft capital. Their wealth of first-round picks will garner a high value in the trade market, depending on which team they choose to strike a deal with. Other than Kuminga, the team may also look to include players such as Kevon Looney and Gary Payton II in trade deals. Both players have been key role players for the Warriors over the last few years, including their iconic title charge. However, both may find themselves on the way out as the team sets off in a new direction. Advertisement Looney has been a pillar for the Warriors. His efforts on the rebounding glass have ensured wins for the team in the most unlikely of circumstances. Although he is only 28 years old, the Dubs may opt to change their approach and focus on developing their younger bigs. Similarly, Payton has been a vital defensive player in the backcourt. While he has remained valuable over the last two seasons, Golden State may choose to get the most out of him by facilitating sign-and-trades, including him as a valuable asset in any deal. Players like Podziemski and Post showed too much upside in the season to be included in trade chatter. Given how beneficial their development would be to the team, the Warriors may instead turn their attention to Moody and Trayce Jackson-Davis as potential trade chips. Moody is a high-value two-way player who has shown steady growth in the Warriors' system. Unfortunately, much like Kuminga, a position clash sees him relegated to the bench and receiving fewer minutes than he deserves. Advertisement Considering that the Warriors have also shown an inclination to sign a defensive wing in De'Anthony Melton, the 22-year-old may see his position up for grabs again. Thus, it seems quite likely that the team will include him in any trade discussions. One example in which the two players found themselves on the trade block was expressed in a proposal by Bleacher Report's Grant Hughes. An attempt to acquire Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis had both Moody and Jackson-Davis mentioned, along with Buddy Hield and Gui Santos, to make the salaries match. The Warriors' pursuit of a big man has been noted. Their interest in the free agent market has also seen them target players such as Brook Lopez and Clint Capela. Golden State is also said to have an interest in building upon its wing depth. With players like Kuminga and Moody on the way out, the team will need shooters in their ranks. Some reports have also indicated a possibility of acquiring Nuggets sharpshooter Michael Porter Jr. Advertisement When it comes to superstars, the Warriors have been closely linked to a Milwaukee Bucks star, Giannis Antetokounmpo. His appearances in San Francisco amidst trade rumors and his explicit intentions of wanting to team up with Curry have given the fans a lot of hope. While acquiring him will be a challenge, we formulated a bold proposal that could help the team swing a deal for the forward without sacrificing their core. A move to acquire Antetokounmpo would undoubtedly transform the Warriors into one of the best teams in the league. Considering the team's title window, the team would do well to ensure they make the most of what they have, while they still have it.

Stars Forward Could Play Bigger Role Next Season
The Dallas Stars willing be looking outward this offseason to plug some of the holes in their roster that were exposed during the Western Conference Final. Just about everyone with eyes saw how outclassed and far from being a contender they were as the Edmonton Oilers sent them on vacation for the second straight year. While General Manger Jim Nill and company will be looking at potential pieces to bring in, they should be looking at who can they can bring to the NHL level from AHL-affiliate Texas Stars. Bright Future Ahead After Texas Stars Season Comes to an End Bright Future Ahead After Texas Stars Season Comes to an End The Texas Stars walked the same path as their parent team, the Advertisement Dallas Stars, and their season concluded in the Western Conference Final of the Calder Cup playoffs. Matej Blumel has had an up and down year with the Dallas Stars as he has made multiple appearances at the NHL level before being sent back to the Texas Stars of the AHL. During his brief stint with Dallas he tallied one point in seven games. Through 67 games in Cedar Park, Blumel tallied 39 goals and accumulated 72 points. One could gather that the 25=year old forward has not gotten a fair chance at the NHL level, given how deep the Stars have been in recent years. Stars May Have Waited Too Long To Sack DeBoer Stars May Have Waited Too Long To Sack DeBoer The Advertisement Dallas Stars finally bit the bullet on Friday and relieved Head Coach Pete DeBoer of his duties with the team. The news comes a week after the Stars were outmatched in the Western Conference Final by the Edmonton Oilers, with the series finale ending in disaster. DeBoer pulled starting goaltender Jake Oettinger in the first seven minutes after Oettinger gave up two goals on two shots. Edmonton would claim a 6-3 victory en route to another Stanley Cup Final appearances. The young Czech forward will certainly get his chance this season as the Stars will be cap strapped while also looking to add more scoring to the lineup. Blumel would be a welcomed addition to the bottom six. Blumel will be an unrestricted free agent this summer, but will likely be back on another two-year contract that brings an AAV of $800,000. It will be better with the limited amount of salary cap wiggle room that the Stars not only bring back Matej Blumel back, but also give him big minutes this upcoming. Not only will the two-year veteran bring a spark that at times the Stars lacked, but will be able to grow within to become a future piece of the next way of talent in Dallas.

Rajon Rondo gets thrown into Knicks head coach search
The post Rajon Rondo gets thrown into Knicks head coach search appeared first on ClutchPoints. The New York Knicks' search for a new head coach continues to generate buzz following the firing of Tom Thibodeau on Tuesday. Among the latest names floated is former NBA point guard Rajon Rondo, who was suggested by ESPN analyst Jay Williams during Wednesday's broadcast of Get Up on ESPN. Advertisement Williams acknowledged that Rondo lacks formal head coaching experience but emphasized the respect Rondo commands across the league for his basketball IQ and leadership. 'I'm going to give a dark horse guys and I'm sure everybody's going to react to it because he has no head coaching experience,' Williams said. 'But if you ask any NBA player how they feel about Rajon Rondo they always talk about how brilliant of an IQ that he has. And the fact that defensively, offensively he's great at building schemes on the fly. Ask Doc Rivers on those championship teams that he's won.' Rondo, 38, retired from the NBA in 2024 after a 16-year career that included stints with the Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, and several other franchises. He won two NBA championships — one with Boston in 2008 and another with the Lakers in 2020. His career accolades include four All-Star selections, an All-NBA Third Team nod, five All-Defensive Team honors, and multiple statistical titles, including three for assists and one for steals. Rajon Rondo's coaching interest resurfaces as Knicks weigh options Williams noted Rondo's potential value to the Knicks given his knowledge of the Eastern Conference and his potential to elevate Jalen Brunson's game. Advertisement 'I'm not saying he's going to win,' Williams added, 'But I definitely think that's a name that people should consider to be an NBA head coach at this level because of his familiarity in the Eastern Conference and because of unlocking other guards in Jalen Brunson.' Rondo has previously expressed interest in coaching but had postponed formal steps in that direction to focus on raising his children. He participated in training camp with Doc Rivers and the Milwaukee Bucks ahead of the 2024–25 season as a guest coach and was expected to remain around the team throughout the year. Thibodeau was dismissed after five seasons with a 226-174 regular-season record and a 24-23 mark in the playoffs. His tenure included four playoff appearances and the franchise's first Eastern Conference Finals berth since 2000. He previously served as an assistant under former Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy from 1996 to 2001. Van Gundy was also mentioned during Wednesday's Get Up by ESPN's Brian Windhorst, who suggested the Knicks should consider a potential reunion. Advertisement As the coaching search unfolds, Rondo joins a growing and varied list of candidates as the Knicks explore their next step.
