Thompson floats Holmgren as a Warriors target if he struggles

The Athletic's Marcus Thompson suggested on the Warriors Plus Minus podcast that Golden State should watch Chet Holmgren's situation in Oklahoma City. Thompson raised the idea that a poor season could push the Thunder to consider moving him.

Holmgren is entering the first year of a five-year, $239.1 million extension, making $41.2 million this season. Nothing suggests Oklahoma City has any interest in trading him, and this is pure speculation from a podcast appearance.
