Brandin Podziemski Rumors

While putting up a valiant fight against a vastly superior roster, the Warriors committed 18 giveaways. They threw some passes out of bounds, threw a few to the Knicks and even dribbled them away. Quinten Post had five turnovers, as did Gui Santos. Podziemski committed four. Richard committed two, and the second one was relatively innocuous – until Kerr’s fiery reaction. “I thought (Richard) could have caught the ball,” Kerr said when asked about the incident, which was noted by the NBC telecast crew. “It was a bad pass from BP; BP should have made a good pass, and Will's got a dunk. (Instead) it turns into a five-point swing. I was mad at Will because I thought he could have corralled the ball and not thrown it. I thought he was trying to make an around- the-back pass for a score. I might be wrong, but I from my angle looked like he could have corralled the ball and made a stop.”

The Knicks’ talent — and size — advantage was simply too much to overcome down the stretch. New York rallied in the third and held off Golden State in the fourth to hand the Warriors a 110-107 loss. It was Golden State’s fifth defeat in a row. With the Blazers losing, the Warriors remained a half-game up on Portland for the ninth seed. Brandin Podziemski scored 25 and Gui Santos had 22, while Quinten Post returned from a sore ankle to score 20. Jalen Brunson put up a game-high 30 points for the Knicks.

Jeremy Sochan said he wanted to recruit the young Warriors star for Poland and insisted on the idea. “Do I see him playing for Poland? Yes, I mean, we haven’t really talked about it recently, but I think he would be a great addition. He’s a very talented young guy, and that would add more firepower to our team and make it stronger overall. It would be a super exciting and cool thing to do,” the Knicks’ newest addition emphasized after his departure from the Spurs. “The times we spoke, he (Podziemski) was always interested, enthusiastic about it. You never know, we’ll see,” Sochan added.

Jake Fischer: “The only player I think in the league that Golden State would be willing to move Draymond Green for would be Giannis Antetokounmpo. That’s the only player. Between him and Jonathan Kuminga and Brandin Podziemski, all of a sudden Golden State probably does have an intriguing package if you're Milwaukee. But I don't think that they are going to be pushing Draymond's salary onto the table — or Jimmy Butler’s salary — for anyone short of him.”

Anthony Slater: Steve Kerr on Jonathan Kuminga: “I’m really urging for him to get up the floor instead of holding back and asking for the ball.” Kerr on Brandin Podziemski: “He’s got to get off the ball early. When he gets into trouble is when he tries too hard to make plays on his own.”
