Brandin Podziemski Rumors

Oh No He Didn't: Shams on rookie extensions for the rest of the 2023 draft class: "I'm told there is optimism with an Ausar Thompson extension in Detroit. And then I would also keep an eye on Cason Wallace, Brandin Podziemski, Jaime Jaquez...and Anthony Black who's also a high draft pick in that class. But I would look at both Brandon Miller and Ausar Thompson to have more and more conversations with their respective teams, the Hornets and the Pistons, in the upcoming days and weeks"

Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski outlined the ideal candidate to join the Warriors as they still chase another championship to maximize the tail end of Steph Curry's illustrious career. "I think the obvious answer is someone who's ready to play or he can play right away," Podziemski said Thursday on 95.7 The Game's "Willard & Dibs." "Someone that has experience, is physically mature enough to play in the games right away. I think that's kind of, as an organization, where we're at. We're at the stage where we're trying to win as much as we can. "So I think with the 11th pick, you just got to look for a guy that's ready to come in and make the impact right away."

Among other players the source said the Sixers made runs at, unsuccessfully: Naji Marshall of the Dallas Mavericks, Donte DiVincenzo of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Brandin Podziemski of the Golden State Warriors and Ryan Dunn of the Phoenix Suns. None of those players were moved.

The Warriors held their annual end-of-season exit interviews with players meeting with Kerr and management before addressing the media one last time. Podziemski, the third-year guard, had the most to say. For the first time, he’s eligible for a big payday. He and the Warriors have the summer — from the end of the NBA Finals until the first game of the 2026-27 season — to negotiate a rookie-scale contract extension. “I want to be here for the long term,” said Podziemski, 23. “It’s always special having the team that drafted you, so hopefully we can get something done.”

Podziemski now faces a decision. He becomes extension-eligible this summer as he enters the fourth year of his original rookie deal. A team source said conversations would likely begin during the summer to bring back a player who has continued to get better. The keys for Podziemski will be: How much money is he looking for? And does he still want to play for a fan base that has not always supported him?

Warriors guard and Oilers fan Brandin Podziemski spoke on Connor McDavid’s greatness and sees similarities between the Canadian hockey star and his legendary teammate Stephen Curry. “Just the things [McDavid is] able to do on the ice, you can try to emulate and replicate him as much as you want, but there's just nobody like him,” Podziemski told Sportsnet’s Gene Principe on Wednesday during Edmonton’s 5-2 win over the San Jose Sharks at SAP Center. “The same thing with Steph. I get to see it every day. A lot of comparisons there.”

Confidence can be a gift and a curse and for Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski, as his confidence has been questioned by fans and critics alike. Before the 2025-26 NBA season, Podziemski had a pair of quotes, one saying he believed he could be a household name for the Warriors, coming off a campaign where he averaged 11.4 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 26.8 minutes of play per game. Podziemski spoke with 95.7 The Game on Thursday and opened up about some of his contested quotes. “I think I could have worded them a little bit differently, but I also think how it’s perceived on the internet is a little taken out of context,” Podziemski said. “Your biggest strength can be your biggest weakness and I think it’s gotten me to this point and obviously with anything in life, there’s going to be pushback, people aren’t going to like you for what you say or what you do. But I’m just going to stick with it. It’s worked.”
