Rumors: Warriors will re-sign Kristaps Porzingis, try to make bold move this offseason
Stephen Curry may return to the court this season and help the Warriors to make a push to get out of the play-in and into a seven-game series, but for some Warriors fans, their eyes are already on next season.
Golden State is going to make a push to re-sign big man Kristaps Porzingis — to a more team friendly contract — and take a big swing on a star player to put next to Curry and Draymond Green to make one more all-in run with that core, at least according to Marcus Thompson of The Athletic and Tim Kawakami of the San Francisco Standard on the Warriors Plus Minus podcast (hat tip HoopsHype).
Seven weeks in, Kristaps Porziņģis enamored with Warriors as free agency looms
SAN FRANCISCO – The Warriors acquired Kristaps Porziņģis to study his health and fitness. To evaluate his game. To see how he fits in an offense designed around Stephen Curry. If nothing else, there would be value in his $30.7 million expiring contract.
There is the other side, too, in which Porziņģis conducts his evaluation of the people at Golden State. That’s going exceedingly well.
Though Porziņģis, 30, is not publicly campaigning for a chance to re-sign with the Warriors, early impressions indicate he’s already considering it. He’s attracted to the opportunity to play alongside Curry, and he is a believer in the team’s medical and training staff, led by Dr. Rick Celebrini.

Warriors Notes: Porzingis, Melton, Santos, More
Veteran center Kristaps Porzingis will be an unrestricted free agent this summer if he doesn’t sign an extension before then. As Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area writes, the Warriors have been using the past several weeks to evaluate the Latvian big man, while Porzingis has been considering whether he’d like to remain with the team beyond this season.
According to Poole, early indications suggest Porzingis has enjoyed his time with the organization — he has particularly singled out Rick Celebrini, Golden State’s director of sports medicine and performance. That’s noteworthy, given all of Porzingis health issues the past couple years and throughout his career.
