Steph Curry’s extension looms, but the real story is Brandin Podziemski—snubbed from top SG rankings despite averaging 18 points and 5 rebounds in his final 20 games. The 23-year-old faced backlash for daring to say he wants to be better than Steph, but he’s staying grounded, focused on his grind, and set to join camp. Warriors brass? They’re locked in on extending him—outside noise doesn’t matter when your team sees your value.

The Golden State Warriors are reportedly eyeing a blockbuster trade for Luka Doncic, the superstar currently with the Lakers, who’s already proven himself as a Western Conference Finals MVP. With the Lakers undergoing major front office changes and Doncic’s contract nearing its expiration, the window is narrowing — and Golden State sees an opportunity to not only add another elite talent but also secure a future franchise cornerstone as Steph Curry’s era winds down. Doncic’s loyalty may be intact now, but with the Lakers’ direction uncertain, the Warriors are watching closely — and ready to strike if LA’s situation doesn’t improve.

Anfernee Simons shocked the NBA world by signing with the 76ers instead of the Warriors, a move that’s sparking major debate after he was ranked 27th among shooting guards while Melton didn’t even make the list. The Warriors’ decision to pass on Simons—known for his scoring—was allegedly to keep doors open for LeBron James, who’s now joining Simons in Philly, turning the Sixers into a serious contender. Critics are questioning Golden State’s strategy, especially as Simons might end up as a bench player in Philly rather than a featured role with the Dubs. If Simons outperforms both Melton and Podziemski this season, it could seriously threaten the Warriors’ playoff chances. With big contracts at stake and no clear starting SG yet, Melton’s chemistry with Curry may give him the edge—but the pressure is on whoever steps up to deliver.
