The Golden State Warriors made a big move at the trade deadline for the 2025-26 season. They targeted top stars like Kawaii Leonard, Guiana Centaito, Co-Unbo, and Jaron Jackson Jr., but ended up pivoting to Chris Thap's Porzingus. In the deal, they sent Jonathan Kominga and Buddy Heald to the Atlanta Hawks. Those initial targets didn't pan out. Leonard and Antieto, KOO-Om, both stayed put with their teams, while Jackson headed to the Utah Jazz in a larger eight-player swap from Memphis. The Warriors needed front court help badly, especially after Jimmy Butler's season-ending torn ACL injury left a huge gap. Since the trade, Porzingus has only played one game for Golden State before getting sideline by illness. Meanwhile, Kominga has thrived with the Hawks, putting up 21.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists,

1:02and 1.7 steals per game over three outings on impressive shooting. Right now, the Warriors sit eighth in the Western Conference with a 32 and 30 record, still fighting for a playoff spot.
