Like many times in recent years, Warriors and Lakers have similar needs on the market for this summer. So we find them in the same rumors, including this star who will soon be free to sign a contract.
The summer of 2025 could be one of the most explosive in some time. At least, that’s what Brian Windhorst explains, reporting the words of an executive. It has to be said that we’re still waiting for progress on Kevin Durant’s departure, as well as Giannis Antetokounmpo’s famous decision and his future with the Bucks. The Greek Freak’s choice could be a game-changer for the league.
Spurs, Wolves, Heat and Raptors: many franchises are waiting to hear more before acting on the market. The Warriors and Lakers aren’t expected to make any new splashes of their own, but we can expect some interesting moves according to the latest rumors. Both franchises have precisely the same need: a pivot.
Warriors and Lakers still in active battle?
The Angelinos need a post 5 after their fiasco against the Timberwolves. They lack a real player in the interior sector, while the Dubs have tried the small ball too often in recent years. Rumor has it that Steve Kerr would like to return to a more traditional game at times, with a Timberwolves player in their sights.
No, we’re not talking about Rudy Gobert, whose contract will be very difficult to manipulate in the event of a trade, but Naz Reid. He’ll be more accessible right away, since all indications are that he’ll decline his 15 million option this summer to become a free agent. And while Minnesota will want to make an effort to keep him, it’s the player who will make the final decision.
@GSWBallReport : “The Warriors are the favorites to land Naz Reid, per @BovadaOfficial Golden State Warriors +175 Brooklyn Nets +220 Charlotte Hornets +285 Los Angeles Lakers +375 Toronto Raptors +525”
So it’s Bovada who drops his prediction, but it says a lot about the Warriors’ chances this summer. The franchise could make a competitive offer, while the Angelinos aren’t far away. If Luka Doncic asks Rob Pelinka to find a way to get Reid back, then the California franchise could be very aggressive.
It won’t be easy for Minnesota to retain the player, but count on them to take a chance. As we’ve seen again in these playoffs, Reid is very important and an excellent alternative to Gobert in difficult moments.
