Without Jonathan Kuminga, James Wiseman and Patrick Baldwin Jr. on the floor, Warriors’ second-round pick Gui Santos put on a show in the California Classic opener. warriorswire.usatoday.com/2022/07/02/hig…6:00 PM

Based on the off-season moves so far, the 2022-23 season will be huge for Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody & James Wiseman. I expect all to take on bigger roles, and I think they’ll all be ready. I’m hoping JW balls out at some point during summer league. #dubnation4:16 PM

I’m sort of surprised the Warriors kept Looney over Payton, with the money being close to equal.
They have a No. 2 overall pick in Wiseman to theoretically replace Looney. They don’t really have anyone else who does the stuff that Payton does, though Moody is ready for minutes. – 3:04 PM
Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
One thing to also keep in mind: Warriors need to make it a priority to find more minutes for Kuminga and Moody. With Wiseman back in the mix next season, there will be a trickle-down effect minutes-wise. – 2:47 AM

Kevin Durant’s quest to find a new home as he waits for a trade from the Brooklyn Nets could take him to a place he knows very well. Appearing on ESPN Radio, Marc J. Spears of Andscape called the Golden State Warriors a team to “keep an eye on” for Durant. Spears later took to Twitter to give more context to his report. Spears noted the Warriors “could” potentially offer the best package for both sides, with a deal involving Jordan Poole, Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga and James Wiseman. -via Bleacher Report / July 3, 2022
