Golden State With Mates

With the Golden State Warriors pursuing a blockbuster trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo, Draymond Green’s future hangs in the balance after nearly 14 years at the franchise. Plus, what the Sacramento Kings’ acquisition of Deandre Hunter on Saturday means for Jonathan Kuminga’s destiny before the trade deadline.

Giannis Antetokounmpo has requested a trade (put in friendlier terms) -- do the Warriors have what it takes to get a deal done with the Milwaukee Bucks for the superstar forward? What does Golden State's best offer actually look like, and would they truly have enough left over to compete for a championship as soon as this season?

With Jimmy Butler's season-ending injury putting Golden State's campaign into ruins, what can they possibly do before the trade deadline to salvage another year of Stephen Curry's prime? Stevie joins me on this episode to discuss all the possibilities, including deals with the Mavericks, Nets, Kings, Pelicans, Jazz and more!

De'Anthony Melton continues to go from strength-to-strength since his return from injury, dropping a season-high (and team-high) 24 points in Saturday night's win over the Charlotte Hornets.

Check out more podca...

The Golden State Warriors responded from Friday's blowout loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder with a win over the Utah Jazz, having turned things around after Draymond Green's ejection late in the first-half.

The Golden State Warriors have bounced back from Sunday's disastrous loss to the Toronto Raptors, overcoming a slow start in Brooklyn to claim a 120-107 against the Nets at Barclays Center. Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler did their thing with 48 combined points, but it was the Warrior bench that got the job done as Steve Kerr utilized 13 players on the second night of a back-to-back.

The Golden State Warriors led by seven with less than two minutes to play against the Toronto Raptors on Sunday, only to fall by 14 in a gut-wrenching overtime loss. Turnovers again proved costly as the Warriors quite literally threw away another game, while Steve Kerr's rotations and the absence of Trayce Jackson-Davis also proved a big talking point from a 141-117 defeat that snaps a three-game...

The Golden State Warriors have recorded one of their more impressive wins of the season over the Orlando Magic, but it's been overshadowed by a fiery exchange between Draymond Green and Steve Kerr that saw the veteran forward head to the locker room and not return to the game. While both Kerr and Green have both tried to downplay the incident, the bigger problem might be that the Warriors continue...

The Golden State Warriors have recorded back-to-back impressive wins over the Cleveland Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls, renewing optimism despite the absences of Stephen Curry and Draymond Green.

At long last Buddy Hield finally turned around his horror form, dropping a new season-high 20 points to go with five rebounds and four rebounds in a 134-117 victory for the Golden State Warriors over the Utah Jazz. More on Hield's performance and perhaps the unhealthy reliance the Warriors have on him, along with the roles of Quinten Post and Gary Payton II in the starting lineup, and Brandin Podz...

Plenty to discuss from the 125...

The Golden State Warriors were obliterated on both ends of the floor against the reigning champion Oklahoma City Thunder, falling to a 126-102 defeat at Paycom Center on Tuesday night.
