A new trade proposal circulating among NBA analysts suggests the Golden State Warriors could move forward Kristaps Porzingis in exchange for a center on a $9 million contract. The scenario, outlined by Keith Watkins on Heavy.com, envisions San Francisco parting with the 7-foot-3 Latvian less than a year after he joined the franchise.
Porzingis, who wore No. 7 for the Warriors, was photographed at Chase Center on March 25, 2026, during a game against the Brooklyn Nets. The trade pitch does not name the specific center or the destination team, only the salary slot involved. Golden State acquired Porzingis in the 2025 offseason to add floor spacing and rim protection alongside Stephen Curry and Draymond Green.
The Warriors' front office has not commented on the speculative deal. Any move involving Porzingis would carry significant salary-cap implications given his contract status and the team's luxury-tax position. The proposal remains a hypothetical exercise rather than a reported negotiation.
