Top 3 Centers The Warriors Can Add This Summer To Make One Last Championship Run With Stephen Curry
The Golden State Warriors have a lot to be proud of after the conclusion of another hard-fought season. While they didn't win the title this year, the Warriors showed astounding improvement with Jimmy Butler and managed to rise from 11th in the West up to 7th. Behind the play of Butler, Steph Curry, and Draymond Green, the Warriors made it all the way to the Western Conference Semifinals before ultimately losing to the Minnesota Timberwolves in 5 games. Now that this campaign is over, the Warriors can begin making plans for the next campaign, which will see Curry, Draymond, and Butler return for their first full season as teammates. Advertisement Even with that trio, however, the Warriors will need an upgrade at center if they want to maximize their title chances, and this upcoming summer is their next best chance to fill out the frontcourt before starting a new season. With limited assets available, Golden State will have to be selective in who they target, but there are several names right now who could prove a valuable addition both on the trade market and in free agency. The question is, how much are the Warriors willing to give up in their pursuit of a big man? Mark Williams Is Ready For Redemption It's been a quiet tenure with the Hornets for young big man Mark Williams, but nobody has forgotten him being rejected by the Lakers. Back in February, Williams was on the verge of joining LeBron James and Luka Doncic in Los Angeles before GM Rob Pelinka got cold feet and failed his physical at the last minute. Williams was sent back to the Hornets that day, and it's where he's been ever since. Advertisement With one year and $6.3 million left on his contract, Williams wouldn't be a major commitment for the Warriors, but he'll be eager to prove himself after being shunned by LA. At the very least, at 7'0" and 240 pounds, he'd bring much-needed size to the Warriors' frontcourt, which would help them in just about every aspect on the floor. While maturity and work ethic seem to be an issue for Williams, his production on the court has been solid for the Hornets, and he could thrive with those skills alongside Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler. With averages of 15.3 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per game, Mark provides a steady presence under the rim, and that's exactly what the Warriors need for this final leg of Steph's journey. Daniel Gafford Could Unlock The Warriors' Defense In Dallas, the Luka Doncic trade sent shockwaves across the city, but things are looking up for the Mavericks after landing the top pick in the upcoming draft. With Cooper Flagg on the way, it puts everything in doubt, and that includes the availability of Daniel Gafford. Advertisement The veteran big man is reportedly a top target for the Lakers this summer (who are also looking for a center), but the Warriors could also benefit from his addition. In 57 games this season, the 6'10" center averaged 12.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks per game on 70.2% shooting. Before Anthony Davis' arrival, he was the last line of defense for the Mavericks, and he's still got room to grow at just 26 years old. As a high-energy, athletic big man, Gafford excels in pick-and-rolls, and he's a beast in the paint and a rebounder and shot-blocker. In many ways, he's everything the Warriors need, and his contract is relatively affordable with one year, $14.4 million remaining. Brook Lopez Could Be Available As the Milwaukee Bucks ponder their future with Giannis Antetokounmpo, the status of their other core players remains shrouded in mystery. As an unrestricted free agent this summer, Brook Lopez has complete control over his next basketball destination, and the Warriors are an ideal fit, assuming they are willing to pay him. Advertisement The 37-year-old big man is already past his prime, but his size at 7'1" and 282 pounds would make a huge difference for the Warriors. Additionally, his championship experience would help him establish an early bond with Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and head coach Steve Kerr. With averages of 13.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.8 assists this season, Brook Lopez isn't the big man he used to be, but his elite shot-blocking ability and impressive shooting stroke make him worthy of consideration for the Warriors. He might even sign for a discount given his age and the team's status as an alluring destination. Whether it's by trade or through free agency, we can expect the Warriors to make some moves this summer to help Steph's championship pursuit. Who they add may very well determine how far they get, and the Warriors cannot afford to get it wrong and waste what is left of Curry's career.

NBA Trade Idea Pairs Anthony Davis With LaMelo Ball
NBA Trade Idea Pairs Anthony Davis With LaMelo Ball originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Dallas Mavericks shocked the sports world in February when they traded Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers. Advertisement The Mavericks, who made the NBA Finals last year, acquired Anthony Davis and Max Christie from the Lakers in the blockbuster deal. Davis only appeared in nine regular-season games with the Mavericks because of an adductor injury. He put up 20.0 points, 10.1 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 2.2 blocks per game. Davis, Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson just played in one game together. Irving tore his left ACL in March and was out for the season. The Mavericks missed the playoffs this year, but they did win the 2025 NBA Draft Lottery. The franchise is widely expected to draft Duke's Cooper Flagg with the first overall pick. Advertisement Dallas general manager Nico Harrison targeted Davis in the Doncic trade because he believes defense wins championships. Harrison is not going to trade Davis unless the big man requests a trade. However, Andy Bailey of Bleacher Report proposed a wild trade idea where the Mavericks trade Davis to the Charlotte Hornets for Miles Bridges, Jusuf Nurkic, a 2027 first-round pick, a 2029 first-round pick and a 2031 first-round pick. This NBA trade idea pairs Anthony Davis with LaMelo Ball next season. Kiyoshi Mio-Imagn Images This trade would give Dallas the multiple draft picks that fans and league experts thought Harrison should have gotten for Doncic. Meanwhile, Nurkic only has one year left on his contract, while Bridges has just two. Advertisement The Hornets would get a future Hall of Famer (Davis) for LaMelo Ball, who needs more talent around him to win in Charlotte. Ball has yet to make the playoffs since entering the NBA in 2020. "This is about getting out of the contract of a post-prime and oft-injured Davis (who's far more expensive than Nurkic and Bridges and under contract through 2028) and picking up multiple picks with which to build around Flagg," Bailey wrote. "For Charlotte, this would obviously be a move to send it in the opposite direction of the one laid out above. Pursuing Davis would almost certainly mean keeping Ball. Those two would be a dynamic inside-out combo, especially with Brandon Miller providing some floor spacing on their flank." Advertisement Davis is 32 years old. He will make $54.1 million next season. The Chicago native has played for the New Orleans Pelicans, Lakers and Mavericks, posting career averages of 24.1 points, 10.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.3 blocks.

Why Chris Paul believes in Spurs, Victor Wembanyama future
The post Why Chris Paul believes in Spurs, Victor Wembanyama future appeared first on ClutchPoints. The San Antonio Spurs have a bright future, and they will be led by Victor Wembanyama for years to come. Everyone was excited to see what they would look like this previous season, but injuries doomed the team, and they ended up falling out of the playoff race. Chris Paul signed with the team last offseason, and he was recently on the Pat McAfee show to talk about their future. Advertisement 'Wemby is different. Being 7'4, able to move the way that he does,' Paul said. 'He just loves the game. He loves to hoop. I think the Spurs are going to be great. You have Harrison Barnes who's a great vet, they brought in De'Aaron Fox.' With Fox in the picture for the Spurs, they now have a dynamic duo who will be the cornerstones for the team. They also have young players such as Devin Vassell, Keldon Johnson, and Stephon Castle who could play a big part in their success. To add on to them trending upwards, they have the No. 2 pick in the NBA Draft, and they could go in a lot of directions on what they'd like to do with the pick. The future seems to be bright, and everyone should be watching out for them for years to come. Spurs believe the future is bright Not only does Paul believe that the Spurs' future is bright, but Barnes also had some great things to say about the team. Advertisement 'The future is bright. This young group has is one of the more talented groups that I've been a part of, and I've been a part of some pretty good teams,' Barnes said. 'Now, hopefully, I'm not retired by the time all this talent has been realized, but the future's very bright for Spurs fans, so they should be excited.' Barnes is under contract for one more season, and he can continue to be the vet that the team needs. This offseason will be crucial, as they can continue to build the young core, or they can go for a big star. The two names that have been mentioned as possible targets for the Spurs are Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Durant, and they have the pieces to pull off a trade. If they were to land either one of those players, their ceiling would immediately rise, and they could become one of the better teams in the Western Conference sooner rather than later.
