The Warriors aren’t making any free agency splashes. They’re part of a bigger story Jonathan Kuminga isn't the only player having trouble in the market. Are billionaires to blame?

End of a Warriors era: Kevon Looney agrees to deal with Pelicans The departure of one of the team's longest-tenured players puts Golden State squarely in the market for another center.

Forgot until I read this @dannyemerman.bsky.social story that New Orleans also just acquired Jordan Poole. The Milwaukee connection lives. (I don't understand anything else the Pelicans are doing, though. Look at that center group.)

Warriors coach Steve Kerr criticizes Donald Trump amid unrest over ICE raids Steve Kerr called protests "one of the sacred rights" in the United States while criticizing Donald Trump.
