Warriors Exploring Trade Market For Kristaps Porzingis
The Warriors are weighing offers built around draft picks and expiring contracts as Porzingis remains out indefinitely with a private health issue.
- The Golden State Warriors have begun "exploring trade routes" for Kristaps Porzingis, who remains out indefinitely as he deals with private health issues and contemplates his future in basketball, league sources told ESPN's Shams Charania.
- Citing a lingering health issue known as POTS, Porzingis alerted general manager Mike Dunleavy of an indefinite leave of absence before training camp. He recently met with Dunleavy and Rick Celebrini to discuss his status.
- The Warriors listed him as "not with team" for Wednesday's season opener, while his two-year, $40 million extension functions as an expiring deal with only $3 million guaranteed in the second season.

- It remains unclear what market exists for Porzingis' contract as most front offices prefer evaluating current rosters before shake-ups, though the Warriors possess significant draft assets and expiring contracts to offer.
