The Golden State Warriors had been sitting patiently through the first three weeks of free agency, watching as other teams made their moves, their roster slowly evolving without the familiar sound of a Warriors flourish. The offseason had become a period of anticipation and strategic silence. But behind the scenes, the front office was meticulously planning their next move, one that could redefine their championship aspirations.
– Steve Kerr – The Warriors’ head coach, known for his calm demeanor and tactical brilliance. He’s eager to reshape the team to maintain their competitive edge.

– Malcolm Brogdon– Skilled guard, a sharpshooter and playmaker, who previously played for the Celtics.
– Jonathan Kuminga– A young, talented forward whose future with the Warriors hinges on ongoing negotiations.
The Warriors’ headquarters buzzed with quiet activity. Rumors swirled that Golden State was eyeing a strategic move to bring back two familiar faces from Boston—Al Horford and Malcolm Brogdon—players who could add depth, experience, and championship pedigree to their roster.
In his office, Bob Myers reviews the latest reports on Horford and Brogdon.
