Alright folks, buckle up because the NBA season is just around the corner, and the Warriors are making some serious moves!
Moody’s Golden Ticket
So, here’s the scoop: Moses Moody, the young gun drafted at No. 14 back in 2021, just locked in a sweet deal with the Warriors. We’re talking a three-year, $39 million extension, all thanks to his agent, Rich Paul. This move comes right before the season kicks off, and honestly, it’s about time they sealed the deal. Moody’s been grinding all summer, and it looks like the hard work paid off.
Coach Steve Kerr can’t stop raving about him either. “He’s playing great,” Kerr said, clearly impressed with Moody’s preseason hustle. I think Moody’s got that fire in his belly this year, and it shows. Kerr even mentioned, “This is the most confidence he’s played with.” You can almost feel the excitement in the air.
The Warriors have signed Moses Moody to a 3-year, $39M rookie contract extension, per @ShamsCharania

Warriors’ Lineup Dilemma
Now, let’s talk about the Warriors’ lineup puzzle. With Klay Thompson now balling for the Mavericks, Kerr’s got his hands full figuring out who starts. Guys like Kyle Anderson, De’Anthony Melton, and Buddy Hield are stepping up big time. Kerr’s in a bit of a pickle, saying, “How are we going to play all these guys?” It’s like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, but hey, that’s a good problem to have, right?
And then there’s Andrew Wiggins and Brandin Podziemski, who are making a strong case for leading the second unit. Kerr admits, “This is the most difficult decision-making I’ve ever had since I’ve been here.” In my opinion, having too much talent is a luxury most teams would kill for. But I get it, Kerr’s got a tough job ahead.
Curry’s Comeback
But wait, there’s more! Steph Curry, the man, the myth, the legend, is back in action after a minor finger sprain. He missed a preseason game, but don’t worry, Dub Nation, he’s ready to light it up in Portland for the season opener. Kerr was relieved to see him scrimmage without any issues, saying, “That was the main reason that we scrimmaged for as long as we did.”
It’s like seeing your favorite superhero back in action. Curry’s been the heart and soul of the Warriors, and missing him on the court is like missing the last piece of a puzzle.
So, what do you think? Are the Warriors poised for another championship run, or will the lineup shuffle throw them off their game? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: it’s gonna be one heck of a season!
