The 2026 NBA Trade Deadline has officially passed, and the landscape of the Golden State Warriors has changed. On this episode of The Death Lineup, we break down the end of the Jonathan Kuminga era and the high-stakes gamble on Kristaps Porzingis.
For years, Dub Nation held out hope for a "Greek Freak" arrival in the Bay. We discuss the fallout of the Warriors missing out on Giannis Antetokounmpo—a move that felt like a major letdown for the hardcore fanbase, even if the logistics were always a long shot. Why did the front office pivot to Atlanta, and was Porzingis the right "Plan B"?
Key Topics Discussed:
The Kuminga Exit: After 4.5 seasons of flashes and frustration, JK is headed to the Hawks. We analyze Steve Kerr’s candid comments about why it never quite worked, including the "tricky" balance of trying to develop a raw talent while contending for titles.
The Porzingis Era Begins: The "Unicorn" is officially a Warrior. We look at what he brings to the table—elite rim protection and floor spacing—and address the massive elephant in the room: his health.
Playoff Outlook: Currently sitting at the 8th seed, are the Warriors still a legitimate threat in the Western Conference?
Is this the move that maximizes the rest of Stephen Curry's prime, or is it a salary-clearing move masked as a win-now trade? We want to hear from you!
