Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr reacts during the first half against the Dallas Mavericks at American Airlines Center on April 05, 2024 in Dallas, Texas.

Overview

  • The Warriors remain quiet in free agency as the unresolved Jonathan Kuminga RFA situation continues to constrain activity, according to multiple reports.
  • NBA insider Keith Smith says Golden State could pursue free agent sharpshooter Malik Beasley, though Kuminga’s status and multiple open roster spots complicate involvement.
  • Beasley played all 82 games for Detroit last season and averaged 16.3 points while shooting 41.6% from three, making him one of the top shooters still available.
  • Newsweek notes that rumored verbal understandings with veterans Al Horford and De'Anthony Melton have not yet produced finalized deals.
  • Lakers reporter Jovan Buha says he believes recent LeBron James–to–Warriors chatter may have originated from Golden State as the team seeks to project activity during the stalemate.
