Golden State Warriors sign Brandin Podziemski to $110M extension

The Golden State Warriors have reached a five-year, $110 million rookie-scale contract extension with guard Brandin Podziemski. The fully guaranteed deal includes a trade kicker and a mutual option for the 2031-32 season. Podziemski, who averaged 13.8 points per game last season, is viewed by the organization as a foundational piece for their future.

Amidst this roster move, veteran Stephen Curry addressed recent criticisms regarding the team’s inability to build a championship-contending roster following their 2022 title. Curry acknowledged that while there were opportunities to add talent, the results have been mixed, noting that availability and injuries have significantly impacted recent seasons.

The Warriors' offseason has also been marked by the signing of Kristaps Porzingis to a two-year, $40 million deal, a move that has drawn scrutiny due to his recent health and availability issues.
