35+34! Reportedly joining the Warriors soon! Hello, championship-caliber forward!

Nets media:Porter Jr. is set to join the Warriors, who are bringing the Kings in as a third party for the trade. The Warriors will give up their 2026 first-round pick, and the Nets may gain an additional first-round pick from the Kings, while Kuminga, who has not played in 12 consecutive games, will be sent to the Kings.

Porter Jr. has already followed Curry on his personal social media...

All signs indicate that Porter Jr. could officially bring his talent to Golden State as early as the 15th of this month, since Kuminga’s trade restrictions will lift then.

Last offseason, the Nuggets traded Porter Jr. plus an unprotected 2032 first-round pick to the Nets in exchange for Cameron Johnson.This season with the Nets, Porter Jr. has delivered career-best performances, averaging 33.1 minutes, 25.9 points, 7.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.1 steals per game, with shooting percentages of 49% and 39.7%. He also had a streak of four consecutive games scoring 30+ points: 35, 33, 35, and 34 points respectively.

Moreover, standing 2.08 meters tall, he can form a small-ball starting five with Curry, Moody/Bogdanski, Butler, and Draymond Green, and even shift to the five spot if needed, allowing the Warriors to deploy one of the most extreme small-ball lineups in the NBA, maximizing offensive spacing. Coach Kerr must be eager for this.

By the way, Porter Jr. has championship experience as a key forward helping the Nuggets win the title in 2023, which is why the Warriors, always chasing championships, value him so highly.

With Giannis publicly committing to stay with the Bucks, Davis recently suffering a serious hand injury, and Morant causing chaos... Porter Jr. is definitely a hot commodity in today’s NBA trade market. The Warriors landing him makes them the big winners everyone envies.

So far,the Warriors stand 21-19, ranked eighth in the Western Conference, five games ahead of the 11th-place Clippers and 3.5 games behind the sixth-place Suns.Once Porter Jr. arrives, his primary mission will naturally be to help this new team secure a direct playoff berth before aiming for loftier goals.

Last year it was Butler, this year Porter Jr.; the Warriors’ management tends to show their teeth mid-season.
