Warriors’ offseason chatter lingers as Kuminga’s restricted status plays out. Horford and Payton II are expected to land in the Bay Area, and Golden State is still weighing LeBron James as a potential, cap-tinged fit. Lacob’s push keeps the rumor mill humming, but the cap makes a blockbuster unlikely this season.

New Orleans’ Murphy III is a focal target, while Gold State has refused sign-and-trade talks for Buddy Hield or Moses Moody to address shooting gaps. If LeBron moves, it would likely surface next summer via free agency or multi-team sign-and-trade, not this season.
