Golden State Warriors

Alex Toohey will rejoin the Warriors for training camp on an Exhibit 10 contract, a source tells Anthony Slater of ESPN.

ESPN's Brian Windhorst and Tim MacMahon floated Zach LaVine as a potential midseason buyout candidate in Sacramento, with MacMahon calling it a possible fit if no trade materializes for his $48.97 million expiring deal.

Warriors insider Tim Kawakami projects Brandin Podziemski's rookie extension would max out around Christian Braun's five-year, $125 million deal, with a floor just above the $15 million taxpayer midlevel.

Stephen Curry remains eligible for a two-year, $137 million extension but has made no move, with Golden State content to wait as he weighs a max deal, a discount, or holding off until next summer.

Anthony Slater said on the Third Apron podcast that Brooklyn views Michael Porter Jr. as a trade chip rather than a building block. He said extension talks have stalled and doubts the Nets risk losing him for nothing in free agency.

Jalen Duren remains unsigned as a restricted free agent, with Detroit and his camp still apart on a long-term deal. Detroit's offer is now put at around $190 million over five years, or roughly $35 million a year, while Duren wants at least $200 million, according to The Athletic's Sam Amick and Hunter Patterson.

A proposed deal would send Brandin Podziemski to the Wizards for 21-year-old guard Bub Carrington plus four draft picks, including a lottery-protected first-rounder.

Sam Amick of The Athletic reports Golden State and New York were among the teams pursuing Ben Simmons before he agreed to a one-year, $3.5 million deal with Sacramento.

Bleacher Report's Grant Hughes pitched a swap sending De'Aaron Fox, Luke Kornet and a heavy haul of first and second-round picks to New Orleans for Trey Murphy III and Dejounte Murray.

ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel raised the idea of Golden State sending Jimmy Butler and multiple first-round picks to Washington for Anthony Davis on the Clutch Scoops podcast.
