Golden State’s most recent big move was trading Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield to the Atlanta Hawks for Kristaps Porzingis , in a straight player- for-player deal with no draft picks attached.

Quick Scoop

  • The Warriors sent forward Jonathan Kuminga and guard Buddy Hield out.
  • They received center Kristaps Porzingis in return, giving them a stretch big who can space the floor and protect the rim.
  • This deal is part of Golden State’s effort in the 2025–26 season to retool around its veteran core with more size and shooting.

Other recent Warriors trades

  • Trayce Jackson-Davis was traded to the Toronto Raptors for a 2026 second-round pick originally belonging to the Lakers.
  • In draft-related movement, Golden State flipped the rights to one second‑round pick (Koby Brea at 41) for multiple later picks (including Alex Toohey and Jahmai Mashack) and then rerouted Mashack plus another player’s rights and a future second to obtain Will Richard’s rights.

Mini forum-style take

Some fans see the Kuminga + Hield for Porzingis swap as a win‑now gamble: they’re betting that Porzingis’ size and shooting next to their guards is more valuable than Kuminga’s upside and Hield’s shooting off the bench.

Others worry about Porzingis’ health and the loss of a young, improving wing in Kuminga, arguing that Golden State may be shortening its future window for a better shot in the next year or two.
