What happened: Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones examined the quiet offseasons of the Golden State Warriors and Denver Nuggets. They also discussed Bennedict Mathurin rumors, Thursday’s Aces-Liberty matchup and Kelsey Plum’s future.

Why it matters: Golden State and Denver’s limited movement leaves their incumbent cores carrying the burden in 2026-27. Plum’s contract expires after this season, narrowing the Sparks’ window to secure a trade return.

What to watch: Plum’s status and any late roster movement from Golden State or Denver are the next markers to watch.
