Overview

  • The Warriors have not completed any free-agent signings since late June and have stayed on the sidelines as the NBA’s transaction moratorium lifts.
  • A private session is set in Las Vegas between Jonathan Kuminga, his agent, coach Steve Kerr and GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. to chart the forward’s future.
  • Six teams—including the Bulls, Heat, Nets, Bucks, Wizards and Kings—hold rights to tender offer sheets for Kuminga, all of which Golden State can match.
  • Al Horford remains the leading veteran target to replace departed center Kevon Looney but is not expected to announce his decision over the weekend.
  • Operating with a $170.5 million payroll against a luxury-tax line near $188 million, the Warriors face limited flexibility on further additions.
