MASSIVE Warriors Trade Update… Report Reveals MAJOR Trade
hey we got a massive Warriors trade update a new report reveals the Warriors interest in Buck center Bobby Poris is heating up and we now have a potential framework for a trade that Mike Dunley Jr could dangle to land one of the best shooting big men in the league but what young talent will the Warriors need to give up well in today’s video I’ll break down the new report analyze the potential trade and discuss the impact this would have on the Warriors next year plus why the Kevin Durant trade yesterday may open the door for all sorts of Warriors moves first though I’m Arthur Bayos this is Warriors Digest we bring you daily videos breaking down everything going on with the Golden State Warriors and if you’re part of this percentage here who watches our videos on a regular basis but you haven’t subscribed what are you waiting for hit the button you get notified when new videos drop plus it really helps the channel we greatly appreciate it and welcome to the community of over 12,000 Golden State Warriors fans so we can discuss news like this according to Ball Report the Golden State Warriors reportedly interested in acquiring Bobby Portoris the deal would require Portoris to opt into his contract and agree to a trade the trade framework if pursued the Warriors would get Bobby Portoris and the Warriors would be sending Moses Moody Trace Jackson Davis and a pick swap in the first round next year to the Milwaukee Bucks golden State would look to resign Portoris after the trade according to this report drop a comment right now what do you think about the Warriors making this move for Bobby Poris i made a video back I think it was like a couple of weeks ago now about the Warriors pursuing Bobby Portoris why he is the perfect fit according to the advanced metrics and math using cosign similarity if you missed that you can click up there in the corner you can watch that video it’s an in-depth analysis but basically I break down exactly why Bobby Poris is the perfect fit and now the trade rumors are heating up there are a couple of different ways the Warriors could acquire Bobby Portoris they could do it as he has a player option that he reportedly is going to be declining so they could do it that way or this route if he ends up opting into this deal and looking to sign a long-term deal with the team he gets traded to so very interesting but let’s break this down like why would the Warriors even be interested in Bobby Port well because he is a baller and a big man who can shoot the three averaged almost 14 points a game eight and a half boards two assists look at the bottom there though three-point percentage as 37% basically he’s 610 he shoots 43% on his corner threes bobby Portoris is one of the best shooting big men in the league so that is why the Warriors would want to acquire him obviously he helps their spacing needs on the floor out of that five spot it’s something the Warriors they have in Quinton Post but Quinton Post’s defense has been very questionable not a rim protector now Bobby Poris is not a rim protector either but as you can see in this trade here we actually would be giving away somebody who has shown some potential of being that defensive rim protector down in the paint there granted he’s not great defensively yet trace Jackson Davis but look at this deal here tell me what you think of this moses Moody in his 11.5 million deal next year along with Trace Jackson Davis at about 2.2 million two years left on that rookie scale deal plus that first round pick swap for Bobby Portoris now as you see in the trade machine here it actually calculates that the Warriors end up finishing with two less wins by making this deal but I promise you they are wrong bobby Portoris would make an amazing and an incredible impact on this Warriors team again with his ability to shoot the three being able to space being a very solid rebounder when we look at Bobby’s numbers we have to remember that a lot of that was coming off the bench here as he was basically the sixman over the past few years for Milwaukee including winning that championship a few years ago don’t forget that Bobby Poris has that championship pedigree as well but what do we think about this i don’t love this deal i would love if the Warriors were able to pursue Bobby Poris in free agency which is going to be extremely difficult because of the Warriors salary cap situation but not impossible here when we look at the Warriors salary cap we see that they have about you know there’s no room when it comes to the salary cap they’re already about $15 million over there uh and but they aren’t a second apron team yet and probably won’t be so they do have some flexibility but again just like everything with the Warriors off season this year it’s going to hinge around Jonathan what happens blah blah blah we’ve heard it so many times it’s the shoe that we’re waiting to drop just like the Kevin Durant trade was the shoe we were waiting to drop for other moves to line up i’m going to tell you exactly why the Kevin Durant trade yesterday puts a lot of things in motion for the Warriors here we’ll get to that in just a second but I would love for the Warriors to be able to sign him in free agency and not have to give anything up have Bobby Portoris opt out of his deal sign a two to threeyear deal with the Warriors that’s probably not going to be realistic in terms of the Warriors salary cap situation now they could potentially have the $14 million midlevel exception but that is again going to depend on what happens with Jonathan Kaminga if they end up resigning him and not trading him they are done signing anybody for the offseason of significance here they’re going to be looking at minimum salaries and cap and roster filler and things like that but if he does end up getting traded here there could be some potential flexibility in terms of uh being able to have some money freed up for a free agent so not impossible i just don’t love this deal but if I’m Mike Dunley Jr I say yes to this because and I know a lot of people are going to look at this and you’re going to be like “What are you talking about you’re trading away a 23-year-old a 24 year old for a 30-year-old on you know basically uh his probably last big contract that he’s going to get why well because he feels a need that the Warriors need to win in the playoffs which is a big man who can rebound play a little defense shoot some threes space the floor and has a championship pedigree as well that’s what you get in Bobby Portoris that’s what you get in this goofy guy who I think would fit great as well into the Warriors team chemistry alongside with Draymond Green he has a fiery streak to him as well which I think is something that is needed outside of Draymond Green on the Warriors i know that we we see that kind of cold calculated fieryness that obviously Steph has he’s a killer we see that in Jimmy i think adding a guy like Bobby Portoris makes a lot of sense in that regard as well but that’s a lot of youth to give up for a guy but my argument has always been over all of this offseason is that the Warriors basically have next year to win a championship just based on the age of the players the current roster construction so you go for pieces that are ready to win that title and help you now you don’t wait for a Moses Moody who could be a really solid rotational piece to a championship team a couple of years from now you don’t have that kind of time bro steph is 37 he’s old dre is old he’s got He’s had gray in his beard for years now jimmy Butler hurt his butt that’s how old this team is man we’re worried about our big one of the biggest problems that we had towards the end of last year and the beginning of the playoffs was bruised tail butts bruising our butts this team is old okay they got to go for it now with a move like this to get Bobby Poris here now I’m going to tell you why the Kevin Durant trade kind of changes things a little bit obviously we saw this go down yesterday shams reported it i would also like to say that I told you that this exact trade for Jaylen Green and the 10th pick was going to go down and I said that like two three weeks ago in a video i I’ll put the link up here so you can uh go back to that but obviously the Warriors were linked to Kevin Durant told you that that was not going to happen durant didn’t want to come back there was a reason why there were so many rumors about him going to Houston so many reports of all those phone calls kind of like this Bobby Poris stuff cuz Bobby Portoris rumors have been popping up for a long time when there’s smoke there’s fire there’s something going on here because also well I’ll I’ll get to this in just a second here with what Bobby Poris had to say about this cuz what he says here is really telling and I think he may have slipped up and told about something going on here but now that Kevin Durant has been traded this is what’s interesting here is we’re getting headlines here that now the Heat have interest in Kings and Warrior star after the Kevin Durant trade now we’ve heard the name Jonathan Kaminga linked to the Heat in Chicago but everybody was kind of waiting to see where Durant ended up to see what move they would need to make so the Heat were heavily in pursuit of Durant and have been for the past decade basically they tried to sign him back in 2016 when he signed with the Warriors they tried to get him in 2022 when he was being traded from the Brooklyn Nets to the Suns they’ve been trying to get him for a while they finally land him or excuse me they don’t land him the the the Houston Rockets get him so now the Heat are kind of left scrambling here as to what their next option is and so reportedly Kaminga has been kind of their third option but this report goes on to say that since the Heat struck out on Durant they’re expected to look in a different direction to fill a similar void the Heat have been linked to Sacramento Kings star nowadays i don’t know about that demar D Rozan uh however a new report from the Miami Herald suggests they’re not targeting him and Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kaminga even after Sunday’s blockbuster so this report from the Miami Herald says the Heat aren’t looking at these two even though they missed out on Kevin Durant so the two players who had been linked to Miami in publish reports Sacramento Kings forward Demar D Rozan and Golden State Warriors impending restricted free agent Jonathan Kaminga had not been the focus of heat discussions as of Sunday afternoon the sources said so we know that other teams have been linked to Kaminga here in terms of the Chicago Bulls so the biggest trade pieces that have been talked about with the Bulls when it comes to Kaminga is their center Nicolus who is also another 610 guy who can grab you 910 boards a night score 18 points shoots almost 40% from three probably the best shooting big man who could potentially be available here so that could change things with how the Warriors start to proceed with Bobby Portoris but if the Warriors are targeting Bulls guard Colby White then that could be a different story there could be two moves made here where the Warriors make a move sending Kaminga to get White and then make a separate move sending Moody and Trace Jackson Davis over to get Bobby Portoris or the Warriors could trade for Vousvik in Chicago and end up they don’t need to make that move for Poris there’s a lot that could happen here but this Duran trade basically sets everything else in motion here but these rumors about this Bobby Portoris trade have been coming up for quite a while here and he actually if I don’t know if you saw this it happened a few days ago where he responded to the rumors of the Warriors trying to get him when these rumors first started to break a couple of weeks ago when I made that video there he basically was like “Yo who is talking about this?” He was like “My first thought when uh it comes to seeing these reports is how do these people know so much how do these insiders know these things so fast who’s behind the scenes calling and checking in on all this?” He also went on to say “I don’t know if there’s someone on each team that calls and tells people thing i don’t know shams and all those guys that have to report these things that are happening i don’t know if I would want to do that as my job i wouldn’t want to stay up all night by my phone and check in with guys at three in the morning that’s a tough one to have but now I will say here that it’s very interesting that Bobby basically admitted he’s like “How do these insiders know these things are happening and how do they know it so fast?” That was all in regards to the chatter about him being sent to the Warriors so it is very interesting i do think that this one has a lot of legs to it and that the Warriors going to have a really good shot at landing Bobby whether it be in free agency if all of the chips fall properly or if they decide to dangle a couple of young upand cominging players for Bobby Portoris i want to hear what you think do you think Bobby Poris makes sense on this team i’ll tell you he does absolutely he is the best fit again I’m going to point you to that video breakdown I made of him and show you how all the math and analytics just point to the fact that he is the perfect stretch big for this team but I want to hear what you have to say i mean analysis is just as good as the math sometimes your eyes can sometimes tell you things that the numbers don’t and vice versa so what do you think drop your comment below and I’ll keep you updated if anything changes here peace

W trade!
No
Hell no u can get a way better piece back
NO
Horrible trade, you would know this if you’re an actual Warriors fan
Torn with this proposal… I know we need to win now, but we're giving up two younger players with potential for a known commodity that's a bit older…
I rather had naz reid with this package tell naz reid to pick his player option give moody and TJD to Timberwolves and play naz reid as Center more reliable more defensive upside ans more shooting
🤮🤮🤮 they really think draymond can fix anyone
Portis is 26 years old he has a ring with Milwaukee it's not a bad trade but it's not as good should be
Hate the trade idea. Portis is an average defender. I dont see the love for Bobby that Arthur has besides looking at his stats. Watch how he plays against quick athletes and you'll see why I don't like this fit. We're trying to lighten the load for Curry, not add more points to have to come back from when Portis lets them have free points. And to give up Moody who actually is a decent (not great, I never said that) defender… I'd say keep the younger of the Arkansas alum.. and let him grow.
First round pick swap for Portis 😂😂😂. Give me a break. Hell, he is a JAG, he doesn’t command first round pick, swap or not. Teams need to start giving up first rounders for JAG’s. I’m not poo pooing the deal as I think Portis is a great player, yet he doesn’t warrant a first rounder.
Not for a 1st Nope , he would be a cool 6man coming off the bench for the warriors though maybe for seconds.
Offensively, a shooting big man needs to be able to play-make off the catch/bounce to be effective and create an advantage with that valued 3pt shooting threat. That’s why Post was useless in the playoffs. He couldn’t capitalize on close outs and he was a negative defensively.
If the warriors want a 3&D if they trade moody or need another one i would select Sion James (22) 6'6 218 pounds and a 6"6 wingspan with the 41st pick, he has a 39.5 inch vert and a smart passer, he has a 48.1 fg%, shoots 35.8% from 3, and shoots 71.5% from the freethrow line. He averaged 9.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3:1 assists to turnover ratio, and 1.4 stl in his 5 years in college.
If the warriors don't get Sion James they should get Arthur Kaluma (23) 6'6 215 pounds 3&D, he has a 37 inch vert and a has 7' and a 1/2 foot wingspan, he has a 43.8 fg%, shoots 32.1% from 3, and shoots 74.2% from the freethrow line. He averaged 12.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.6 blk, 0.7 stl, and he had multiple 20+ point games and one 34-point game with 11 rebounds in his 4 years in college.
If the warriors want a versatile big with rim protection, ok passing, and postscoring they should select Johni Broome (22) 6'10 235 pounds with the 41st pick, he has a 53.9 fg%, shoots 30.2% from 3, 60.3 from the freethrow line, 9.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 2.5 blocks, 0.8 stl, and 16 points in his 5 years in college with the 41st pick he could be a back up big if they sign a big or sign & trade for one.
If it ain’t Giannis I would do that trade . Trade Podz an his dad for anybody n sign Michael Malone
Trade everyone besides Jimmy n Tha Goat Curry
Getting rid of all our youth for rentals is crazy
No trade whats with the TJD slander an moody is a good defender!!!
All Glory to God
Good player in Portis. Bad trade. Why give up that much
Dude you guys talk about the SAME DAMN SHIT!!! Come with some facts!! Damn it where you insider contacts 😂😂😂😂
Yes, agree with Portis trade
1:30 I like this move if it happens but we need to keep TJD and trade Lonny
No no no
Cam Johnson and Lopez. Warriors don't need much.
My stance has always been the same. Keep or find guys who will help the Warriors continue to play good defense. Not stat guys. OKC won the title with one star, two good supporting players and a whole bunch of guys dedicated to playing great defense. The last ten years, either have a MVP caliber player or play great defense. Curry as much as he changes the game, doesnt play at that MVP level any more.
I've been saying portis should be one of our targets. But not going to lie i personally really like moody and tjd. But on paper portis is definitely a fit and will fit in the system. Im just scare kerr not gonna use him and default back to putting dray at the 5 again.
No
Milwaukee not doing that trash. Why everybody think they can get talent and teams gonna take yo trash.
11:55 would much rather us get Nikola Vučević giving up maybe l Jk and like 2 picks
Bobby can get us some boards in the paint.
I would do this trade in a second. You’re giving up practically nothing. I don’t know why the bucs would do this trade though.
I think they have more options to trade for then TJD but hey it's a business it is what it is. Can't wait to see the smart move they do.
Portis and a solid shooter would be nice 💯
Trade Moody, Pods, Kumninga, and Looney for Giannas. Find a guard and an avg wing. Get a ring.
