Stacking Dubs: A Golden State Warriors Podcast

Steve Kerr signed a 2 year extension, which means the Warriors will continue to try to contend in the Steph Curry twilight era. What does that mean for their 2026 draft? We look at 4 draft targets who may be able to help the Dubs in the coming seasons.

We do a deep dive on whether the Dubs should bring Steve Kerr back or let him go. Then we make predictions on player extensions and options.

Two of the all-time greats turned back the clock and rewarded Warriors fans with some magic as they knocked out the Clippers in the 9/10 play-in. Curry blew past his minutes limit and willed the Dubs back from several double digit deficits with heroic shot making. And Draymond Green showed why he's the great defensive player of this generation with a dominant performance on Kawhi Leonard.

The NBA is a better place when Steph Curry is on the court. After 27 games out, the Warriors are finally exciting and fun again. Steph dropped 29 points in 26 minutes and almost brought the Dubs back from a double digit deficit against Kevin Durant and the red-hot Rockets.

We mourn Moses Moody's gruesome knee injury and hope for the best. Then we try to lighten the mood and make the argument for Bleacher Report's claim that Steph Curry is the purest scorer in NBA history.

It's hard to identify rock-bottom when your franchise is in a free fall. The Warriors must be getting close after being swept in a back to back set by the tanking Jazz and Bulls. Even worse is the horrific choke job by the Dubs blowing an 8 pt lead with 90 seconds left.

The shorthanded Golden State Warriors once again went into Houston and came out victorious. It didn’t matter that they were down Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, Kristaps Porziņģis, and Moses Moody. Kevin Durant was neutralized all night by Draymond Green, and eventually missed two huge free throws in overtime, sealing the win for Golden State.

The Warriors dropped to 5-12 without Steph and Jimmy and it's tough to find many reasons to be excited about this team. The Dubs are full of hard-playing role players, but without stars — and without young upside — there’s just no spark.

Brandin Podziemski’s scorching fourth quarter powered a valiant effort from a shorthanded Warriors squad, lifting them to a win over Nikola Jokić and the Nuggets. With Porzingis and Draymond ruled out late, Al Horford, Gui Santos, Moses Moody, and company stepped up in a major way, delivering the Dubs’ most improbable victory of the season.

With Steph Curry's runner's knee keeping him out at least another 10 days, the Warriors really only have one player worth watching – Porzingis. The Unicorn made his debut against the Celtics and flashed glimpses of what he can bring to impact the team once the roster is healthy.

Brett Siegel revealed new details on the Warriors’ trade negotiations involving Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jaren Jackson Jr., Trey Murphy III, and Kristaps Porzingis. We break down what Golden State’s Plan A, B, and C really were — and what those talks signal about their direction heading into the summer. Plus… the one deal the Warriors probably should have pulled the trigger on.

Down 17 and severely short-handed, the Warriors could’ve folded. Instead, Al Horford and Gui Santos led the charge as the Dubs ripped off an 11–0 run to complete an exhilarating comeback. A reminder that this team still has plenty of fight left.

In a shocking move that no one saw coming, the Warriors traded for Kristaps Porzingis and finally set Jonathan Kuminga free to Atlanta. The Dubs inability to obtain Giannis officially means their two-timeline plan was an absolute failure and the front office needs to be held accountable. But there are silver-linings to be found, which highly depend on Porzingis' health.

With 24 hours until the trade deadline, it appears the Giannis sweepstakes are down to two teams — the Warriors and the Timberwolves (or three, if you count the Bucks holding onto him). We break down where things stand as Minnesota aggressively scrambles to outbid Golden State’s standing offer.

Insider Brett Siegel wrote Sunday night that Giannis will be a Warrior if he is traded by the deadline. We look into what we're hearing about the Knicks, Heat, Wolves, and Bulls in their pursuits of Giannis. Then, we discuss whether the Dubs would be better off trading away Draymond or Jimmy Butler.

A week before the trade deadline, multiple outlets have the Warriors as the favorites to trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo. While everything is purely speculative at this point, we look at why the Dubs' offer makes the most sense to a rebuilding Bucks team.

The Warriors have officially entered the Giannis sweepstakes, floating a package centered on Kuminga and Jimmy Butler. Where does there offer rank compared to other top suitors? What about the rumors about a Kuminga for Andrew Wiggins swap? In what scenario would the Dubs consider trading for Anthony Davis?

Jonathan Kuminga was putting together another fine performance before leaving with a knee and ankle injury. While not considered serious, the injury is just another blow to Bay Area fans right when some hope was brewing. We look at what the injury means, De'Anthony Melton's value, Draymond's decline, and what a Giannis offer could look like.

It was the first real step in rebuilding some “demand in the market” for Jonathan Kuminga, as he returned with 20 points and nearly sparked a massive comeback against Toronto. What does his performance tell us about how the Warriors have managed his minutes, and what can we realistically expect from him moving forward? Plus, what do Mike Dunleavy’s pre-game comments about Kuminga’s market, Jimmy Butler’s tradability, and his philosophy on trading draft picks reveal about the Warriors’ plans from here?

It might officially be the end of the Steph Curry contender window after Jimmy Butler’s ACL tear. We break down the ripple effects of the injury and what options the Warriors realistically have left—ranging from a last-ditch Hail Mary trade to a full teardown and rebuild. This sucks.

On Jonathan Kuminga Trade Eligibility Day, reports have surfaced that the Warriors never had real interest in Michael Porter Jr and are instead focused solely on expiring contracts. The reporting confirms what much of Dub Nation has long suspected: the Warriors' front office isn't serious about contending again in the Steph Curry era.

The Warriors need to be all-in on MPJ, especially if he can be had for two 1st rd picks. But what if the Dubs continue to balk at moving picks and can't get the deal done? Who are some lesser players they could target to bolster their front court?

With one week to go until Jonathan Kuminga is trade eligible, we explore the three biggest trade targets for Golden State. How much would each cost and which should the Dubs pursue most?

Armed with a full chest of draft picks, the Warriors have the capability of negotiating for an all-star level upgrade in a Kuminga trade. But from what Mike Dunleavy and Steve Kerr have been saying recently, expectations for a blockbuster trade should be tempered. Host Chris Chinn argues that anything less than a big swing is a disservice to Steph Curry.

Steph Curry's stomach isn't the only one hurting after a 1 point loss to Phoenix. Another night, same Warriors' problems. Turnovers, poor shot making, bad clutch defense. This team is going no where fast until they change their bad habits... and their roster.

Another Steph Curry masterpiece, another loss for the Dubs. Panic is setting in for a team that can't even hold a .500 record despite Steph playing like a top 5 star. Steve Kerr hasn't been good, but he's not the reason for losing. The real reason is clear...

Jonathan Kuminga's DNP all but guarantees he'll be traded January 15. Which potential trade targets should the Warriors explore? How does Pat Spencer's recent breakout change the Dubs' needs?

The Dubs' bench almost pulled off a miracle against OKC. While moral victories aren't real wins, there were some new elements to the Warriors that inspires some hope moving forward – Seth Curry, an aggressive Podz/Spencer, and the announced return of De'Anthony Melton.

The Warriors have flaws that aren't going away anytime soon. Positional size, perimeter defense, turnovers, and shot-creation outside of Steph/Jimmy are just a few. With the Kings declaring themselves open for business, does a Kuminga for Sabonis trade package make sense for the Dubs?

Moses Moody's career night helped the Warriors cruise by the Pelicans in what seemingly could have been a trap game. Moody's steady growth from year to year has seen him become the Dubs best 3 and D role player. Also, Draymond doesn't like being called "Angel Reese."

Steph drops a combined 95 pts in 2 games in San Antonio to remind the world that he's still the greatest show in sports. It was an exhilarating matchup with Victor Wembenyama and the Spurs, as the Warriors seem to have found their identity – Curry Brand.

Coming off of an embarrassing butt-kicking against the Thunder, the Warriors fell behind 16 pts in the first half to the Spurs. But just as hope was dimming, Batman arose from the shadows with a 22 point 3rd quarter and carried the Dubs to a much-needed road victory.

The Warriors eventually broke out of an offensive slump towards the end of the 3rd quarter against the Pacers, winning by 30. But the story continues to be the ascension of Will Richard. Richard is turning into the steal of the draft and his traits seem sustainable, albeit only a dozen games into the season.

Will Richard, Moses Moody, and Jonathan Kuminga were bright spots — but only silver linings as the Warriors let a winnable game slip away in Sacramento.

Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler and the Warriors look like the real deal. With the emergence of young players against Memphis followed by an elite-level defensive effort against the Clippers, the Dubs are showing both depth and championship-level potential this season.

That was exhilarating. A Steph Curry legendary performance led the Warriors back from a halftime deficit against the Nuggets despite an Aaron Gordon career night. The Dubs might have found a new closing lineup that can propel them into the top tier of contenders.

Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Jonathan Kuminga led the way as the Warriors took down a LeBron-less Lakers squad — a game that would’ve been a full-on blowout if not for Luka Doncic’s brilliance. Butler’s presence has already added a new layer to Golden State’s elite culture, and nowhere was that more clear than in Kuminga’s performance. The young forward delivered one of his most complete games yet, flashing the kind of growth and potential that should have Warriors fans excited.

With Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler resting for preseason game 3, the Warriors got a good look at their offense led by Podz and Kuminga. While the team looked stuck in the mud, Podz went off and showed a glimpse of what he could someday become as a lead guard. Host Chris Chinn breaks down what he saw from both Podz and JK in high usage roles.

Preseason Game 2 wasn’t exactly a confidence booster for the Golden State Warriors. Facing a young, athletic Portland Trail Blazers squad, the Dubs gave up 73 first-half points and showed some concerning trends that carried over from last season.

The Warriors are finally back on the court! In their first preseason game against the Lakers, we learned a lot about potential lineups and combinations. But nothing was more evident than the fact that Al Horford is a seamless fit on the Warriors and unlocks several winning lineups.

Aside from staying healthy and overcoming age-related drop-offs, there are 4 X-factors to the Golden State Warriors making a deep postseason run. How many of these areas of opportunity can they grow in? If the answer if 4, they may be looking at ring number 5.

Jonathan Kuminga has FINALLY signed with the Warriors on a 2 year, $48.5m deal with a team option attached. Host Chris Chinn tells you why it's the best case deal given the options at the 11th hour and how both sides can turn this into a home run on the court.

The additions of Al Horford and De'Anthony Melton finally unlock dozens of lineup combinations that the Warriors struggled with last year. It's rare to acquire affordable two-way veteran FAs and the Dubs found TWO. Host Chris Chinn thinks the Warriors will have a top 5 defense this year.

Who are the two best role players to close games with next to Steph, Jimmy and Draymond? We prioritize what skillsets matter most for the Dubs at the end of games and come up with optimal closing lineup combinations. Steve Kerr and the Warriors simply cannot continue parading out dozens of different lineups in crunch-time hoping to strike lightning in a bottle.

Jake Fischer tells us (for the 100th time) that the Warriors have interest in Trey Murphy III. So let's get it frickin' done. Host Chris Chinn has decided it's time to pay the steep price to give Steph Curry a real shot at a 5th ring.

Shams and Slater shared huge updates on where things stand with the Warriors negotiations with Jonathan Kuminga. While it still stands at a stalemate, at least new concepts to deals are being explored. But time is running out...   Happy 100 episodes to Stacking Dubs!

Reports say Jonathan Kuminga is not budging on his stance towards the Warriors' 2 yr $45m offer. What would it mean for him and the Dubs if he actually did the unthinkable and accepted the $7.9m qualifying offer? Host Chris Chinn takes you through what options that may open up for GSW and offers a compromise that both sides should accept.

Should the Warriors wash their hands of Kuminga to obtain Josh Giddey? While both are similar in overall value, they couldn't be more different as players. We analyze whether the swap in skillsets would be a better fit for Steph Curry's Warriors.

Kuminga is reportedly seeking $25m per year, which the Warriors are unwilling to meet. What does a realistic contract look like and how does that affect the Warriors' cap-space against the 2nd apron? And WHY are the Dubs seeking a 1st round pick in trades when they should be all-in now?
