Kristaps Porzingis Poised To Re Sign With Warriors

Merlin hears the Warriors look likely to keep Kristaps Porzingis beyond this season, with The Athletic’s Marcus Thompson saying, "Can he stay healthy? And I absolutely, as we're sitting here right now, believe that Porzingis and the Warriors will work something out where we will see him again next season in a Warriors jersey." Porzingis, in the final year of his extension, has been shuffled from Boston to Atlanta to Golden State, and when healthy he proved his value with 28 points and eight rebounds in a recent win. His presence would matter for Golden State as they chase one more title run. Merlin sees the simplest truth: fit is not the issue, durability is. Porzingis gives spacing and rim deterrence that change how opponents defend the Warriors, but missed time limits that edge. Expect Golden State to seek a deal that rewards upside while guarding against injury risk, betting on continuity if he stays available.
