Bruce Brown Undergoes Knee Surgery

Blockbuster deals are never easy, and it makes sense for Golden State to see what it has before making any rash decisions. But by missing out on PG and Markkanen, the Warriors kept their powder dry. If another star becomes available at a price that everyone can make sense of (Jimmy Butler? Brandon Ingram? Julius Randle?), they can make a tempting offer and become a heavyweight contender one last time. Maybe they don’t need a star. Maybe they’ll be okay with sacrificing future assets for another intriguing veteran (think Bruce Brown Jr., Cameron Johnson, Dorian Finney-Smith, Robert Williams III, Kyle Kuzma). -via The Ringer / September 5, 2024
