The message from Jonathan Kuminga and his agent Aaron Turner to the Warriors this week: Flip the team option to a player option and Kuminga will sign deal and buy-in to mission of getting Steph Curry another title. GSW has been reluctant to add a player option in any offer.

Grateful for my eight years at The Athletic and everyone there that made it so fulfilling. Excited about what’s next at ESPN.

Steph Curry asked about the idea of Al Horford joining the Warriors: “He’s a champion, great player. When…if, when all that stuff happens, I’ll talk about it.”

Steph Curry out in Tahoe asked how long he planned to keep playing in the NBA: “I don’t know. I’m just taking it two years at a time. That’s what I have left on my contract right now.”

Here's the latest on Jonathan Kuminga's restricted free agency. The Kings floated an offer. The Wizards have generated some notable interest. A return to the Warriors is still on the table. It remains unresolved after four days.

New Warriors plus/minus podcast Day 1 of free agency recap with @thompsonscribe.bsky.social and @timkawakami.bsky.social with some of the latest intel

Here's the latest on the Warriors three hours out of free agency. They're in search of a veteran stretch center. Al Horford is a name many in the league are linking to them as a preferred target.

The Warriors will exercise their team options on Gui Santos and Quinten Post for next season, per source. Santos is on the books for $2.2 million (non-guaranteed) and Post at $1.9 million. Pair of late second round picks who have made a rotation impact.

Here’s Mike Dunleavy on the Warriors’ draft last night. He said they traded back for two picks because he felt the class was “a little weak” in the middle of the second. On Toohey/Richard’s readiness for rotation spot: “We don’t think these guys are years away.”

The Warriors sent the rights to Justinian Jessup and a top-50 protected 2032 second round pick to Memphis to jump up three spots and grab Florida guard Will Richard, per source.

The Warriors are selecting Alex Toohey with the 52nd pick. First add of the draft — a 6-foot-8 Australian wing.

Spent time with Jonathan Kuminga in Cleveland. He wants a chance to be a featured scorer/creator. “It don’t matter if it’s the Warriors or anywhere else, it’s something I want. I want to see what I could do. I know I got it. So I want to really see.”

The Thunder will be significant favorites at home in Game 7, but they were significant favorites in Game 1 and lost. They’ve delivered themselves into serious danger again: http://dlvr.it/TLSpst

Fifteen points in five minutes: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has his signature stretch and saves the Thunder’s dream season

Mark Daigneault: "There were a crap ton of fouls. That's why there were a crap ton of free throws. I thought the referees did a good job." Thunder shot 38 and Pacers shot 33 -- 71 combined free throws.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: 15 points in the final 4:38. Finished with 35 points. Resurrected these Finals for the Thunder. Series heads back to Oklahoma City 2-2.

Thunder have only taken 32 combined 3s the last six quarters — 22 attempts in Game 3 and 10 in the first half tonight. They’re 1-of-10. Down 60-57.

The Thunder is moving back to their double big starting lineup for Game 4. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Lu Dort Jalen Williams Chet Holmgren Isaiah Hartenstein

The Thunder committed the fewest turnovers in the NBA this season. They committed a playoff-high 19 in Game 3. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s six were his most since December. It has their dream season in danger.

Brandin Podziemski underwent surgery yesterday to repair a core muscle injury, Warriors announce. It occurred midseason, forced him to miss games and clearly still bothered him into the summer. Podziemski also had wrist surgery recently. He's expected to be ready for camp.

The Thunder committed 19 turnovers, gave up 40 second quarter points, lost the fourth quarter 32-18, were outscored 49-18 in bench points and now sit in a 2-1 series hole for the second time in these playoffs. They won Game 4 in Denver. They’ll look to repeat Friday.

Thunder were a +5 in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 21 first half minutes and a -9 in the three minutes he rested. Pacers bench (McConnell/Mathurin) flipped the game to open 2Q. Indiana scored 40 in the quarter. They're up four.

Lu Dort’s defense on Tyrese Haliburton is central to the Thunder’s quest for NBA Finals control

Don Nelson in Oklahoma City to accept the Chuck Daly lifetime achievement award. First time he has left Maui in seven years.

Chet Holmgren struggled to finish in Game 1 and was limited to 24 minutes as the Thunder opted to avoid double big lineups vs Pacers Here he is on the double big option moving forward

NBA titles aren’t won without star talent populating the top of the roster. The Thunder have it. But 68-win teams aren’t built without layers of depth and a firm identity. The Thunder also have it, writes @anthonyvslater.bsky.social ⤵️

The Thunder lost Game 1 against Denver after a long layoff. Jalen Williams: “That wasn’t it…Clock management (issues)” They have another long layoff prior to tonight: “Chet said it earlier. You can never complain about days off in the NBA.”

Cason Wallace is a lottery pick with an expansive skill set. But at 21, he’s accepted a role as defensive ace for the title favorite: “Everybody can’t be the man. Whatever it takes to win is the mindset we all have. That winning mindset gets you paid.”

The Thunder have a three-headed defensive monster on the perimeter. Talked to Lu Dort, Alex Caruso and Cason Wallace about what makes them so disruptive.

New "Warriors Plus-Minus" episode with @anthonyvslater.bsky.social @thompsonscribe.bsky.social-- the Kuminga questions loom over the offseason. Should they re-sign him? Would that work? What can they get for him? -Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/74iT... -Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

The origin story of this Thunder rise traces back to a 2007 trade between Steve Kerr and Sam Presti - new GMs for the Suns and Sonics. Kerr: “This has been a methodical build from Sam. Every move is connected.”

Here’s some of the latest on Jonathan Kuminga and the Warriors a month before his free agency. The base year compensation rule makes all sign-and-trade scenarios complicated.

Brandin Podziemski underwent left wrist debridement surgery yesterday, per Warriors. Expected back for training camp.

Moses Moody had surgery on a torn UCL in his right thumb yesterday, the Warriors announce. He had a wrap on it at times late in the season. Expected to be back in time for training camp.

Jalen Williams had five steals in Game 1. He has 21 in the playoffs. Here he is talking about those gamble steals where he stalks from behind and gets a runout.

Alex Caruso defended Jaren Jackson Jr. and Nikola Jokic the first two rounds. He will presumably get shifts on Julius Randle in the WCF. “Like or dislike, it’s my job. Get stops. Either the game tells me to battle 300-pound guys or get over screens on the perimeter.”
