Cedi Osman could be Golden State’s next big swing, with Jonathan Kuminga’s status still uncertain. Osman, 30, started for Cleveland and posted 10+ PPG across four seasons, then flashed EuroBasket shooting around 50% from three and sharp cuts with Alperen Şengün. LeBron James once mentored Osman during a Cavaliers run that showed his veteran poise. If Osman lands in Golden State, his floor spacers and off-ball movement could unlock Curry and Thompson in a retooled playoff-ready rotation.

Osman’s current Spurs stint has been limited, but his national-team form hints at upside in a new system. The Warriors’ roster gaps—with Kuminga in limbo and veteran options like Horford and Melton reportedly waiting—make Osman a low-risk, high-reward candidate. The narrative weaves LeBron’s mentorship with Osman’s EuroBasket resurgence, framing a potential malignant fit for GS’s spacing, defense, and depth.
