What happened: Milwaukee is reported willing to send Myles Turner to Golden State in exchange for taking on Kristaps Porzingis' contract, but wants draft picks in return. The Warriors are not currently interested in that price. The talks follow Golden State's exploration of Porzingis trade deals.
Why it matters: Porzingis' $20 million salary is the piece Golden State is trying to move, and the Warriors have already halted payments on it. Turner is a way out of that contract only if the pick cost stays below what Golden State will pay. The Warriors are 8-3 and have won eight straight, so they are shopping from a position of strength.
By the numbers: Turner is averaging 7.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 2026-27 through 10 games. Golden State is 8-3 in 2026-27 through 11 games and sits fourth in the West after a 138-87 win over New Orleans on Nov. 9.
What to watch: Watch whether Golden State moves off its stance on draft compensation, or whether Milwaukee drops its ask.
