Gui Santos Rumors
Anthony Slater: The Warriors will exercise their team options on Gui Santos and Quinten Post for next season, per source. Santos is on the books for $2.2 million (non-guaranteed) and Post at $1.9 million. Pair of late second round picks who have made a rotation impact.
Ohm Youngmisuk: Steve Kerr shortened his rotation and did not play Jonathan Kuminga and Gui Santos. Quinten Post played 10 minutes. On Kuminga and Santos, Kerr said both have been impactful and players and “It doesn’t mean they’re out of the loop (for rest of season).”
One day it's schooling Gui Santos on how to front the post. His most prominent pupil is sophomore guard Brandon Podziemski, whom Butler assisted on Tuesday night's dagger against Milwaukee. "He's literally taking a different guy after practice almost every day," Kerr said. "He did it with Buddy [Hield], even some of the vets. Quinton Post."
Kuminga will presumably take all of Gui Santos’ minutes and shave some frontcourt playing time away from Kevon Looney, Quinten Post and Moody. He can help lessen the workload for Draymond Green. There should be ample opportunity, especially if he shows an ability to be an impactful point-of-attack defender with Butler and Green in help side behind him. “You’re integrating another dynamic player who can switch positions (on defense), get out in transition and score the basketball,” Green said. “We haven’t done anything spectacular offensively. We haven’t put in a bunch of sets offensively (for Butler). I don’t think he’s necessarily coming back to a completely different offense. I think he’s coming back to a team with a completely different mentality. He’ll be fine picking that up.”
Anthony Slater: Steph Curry will play tonight at Lakers on the second night of a back-to-back. Draymond Green is probable. Moses Moody and Gui Santos are questionable. Bench depleted while Jimmy Butler trade finalizes. Butler is expected to join team in LA but not yet debut.

After the game, Golden State stars Klay Thompson and Draymond Green briefly chatted with Neymar. Warriors guard Gary Payton II and forward Gui Santos, who is from Brazil, also said hello. Thompson gave the young person next to Neymar his jersey then showed off his shooting form, presumingly offering tips. "We respect his greatness," Thompson said, referring to the former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain forward. Neymar is also close friends with Heat star Jimmy Butler. The two met with tennis star Carlos Alcaraz at the Miami Open on Monday.
