The 2026 NBA Trade Deadline has officially closed, and the Golden State Warriors have sent shockwaves through Dub Nation. In this episode of Golden State Hoop, we break down the blockbuster move that saw Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield shipped to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for Kristaps Porzingis.

Is this the "win-now" move Stephen Curry needs, or is it a calculated salary dump for future flexibility? We dive deep into the analytics of Porzingis’ fit in the Bay and what this means for the Warriors' frontcourt depth.

Inside this episode:

The Giannis Letdown: We address the elephant in the room. While the dream of landing Giannis Antetokounmpo made fans excited, the deadline passed with the "Greek Freak" staying in Milwaukee. We discuss why this was always a long shot and how the front office pivoted.

The End of the Kuminga Era: After years of "flashes" and potential, the JK saga in San Francisco is over. We analyze Steve Kerr’s latest comments regarding why the fit never quite materialized and why the coaching staff felt it was time to move on.

The Porzingis Factor: We evaluate Kristaps Porzingis' role. Is he the rim protector and floor spacer the Warriors have lacked, or is his injury history too big of a gamble for a team fighting for playoff positioning?

WNBA & Valkyries Update: Shifting gears to the hardcourt of the W, we look at the WNBAPA losing leverage in their latest negotiations. What does this mean for the Golden State Valkyries as they prepare for the upcoming season?

The Warriors are sitting at a crossroads for the rest of the 2026 season. Can this new-look roster make a legitimate run, or are we looking at a bridge year to a post-Draymond era?
