On the July 16, 2025, episode of Warriors Latest, Max Arizin reacts to news that Lauri Markkanen is officially unavailable and why that’s ultimately a relief: his fit, cost, and timeline didn’t align with Golden State’s championship window. Max weighs the pros and cons of trading for Walker Kessler, calling him a “double-double machine” but raising red flags about the potential high price tag and limited offensive upside. He also breaks down the risks of paying a premium for the Spurs’ Devin Vassell, questioning his playoff impact and positional fit. Instead, Max argues for targeting players like Nikola Vucevic, Seth Curry, or Ben Simmons—veterans who fit the Warriors’ timeline and can help maximize the final years of Curry and Green’s era without mortgaging the future.
