The Warriors have been patient this offseason.
As they wait to see how the Jonathan Kuminga situation plays out, and how the dominoes will fall thereafter, they remain the only NBA team not to add or re-sign a player in free agency (h/t ESPN).
On the flip side, they have had to say their goodbyes to fan favorite Kevon Looney after the 29-year-old center signed a two-year free-agent contract with the New Orleans Pelicans.
That now leaves a massive hole for Golden State, which, per multiple reports, plans to fill it with Al Horford.
Another player repeatedly linked to the Warriors is guard De’Anthony Melton, who was with the Warriors for less than two months before getting injured and being traded to the Brooklyn Nets last season.
But on the 18th day of free agency, it’s been crickets and tumbleweeds for Golden State.
On this post shared to Instagram by ESPN and NBA on ESPN, young Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski shared choice words in the comments.
“Why everyone worried about us,” Podziemski wrote.
Last week, Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy addressed Golden State’s quiet offseason in an interview with ESPN’s Katie George during halftime of the Warriors’ summer league matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers.
“So far, so far. We’ve got a ways to go here,” Dunleavy said. “I consider the offseason kind of from the time the season ends all the way to training camp, so we’ll give ourselves that buffer to add to our roster. … We’ve got the whole summer to do it.”
