Warriors' Four Re-signings Earn Mostly Positive Grades from ESPN

Golden State locked up five familiar faces for the 2026-27 season: Draymond Green on a $27.7 million one-year deal, De'Anthony Melton on a two-year contract with a modest raise, and veteran additions Kristaps Porziņģis, Al Horford and Gary Payton II. The moves followed a failed pursuit of LeBron James, leaving the franchise to double down on the roster that finished last year in the play-in tournament.

The footage showed the Minnesota forward standing in front of the artwork, gesturing with surprise before delivering a light-hearted comment about the unexpected change.

Warriors’ Roster Stagnation Draws Fan Backlash

Joe Lacob appeared on The TK Show with Tim Kawakami and fielded a steady stream of questions about why the Golden State Warriors entered the 2026-27 season with essentially the same roster that posted a 37-45 record, missed the playoffs for the second straight year, and fell in the play-in tournament to the Phoenix Suns.
