NBA Offseason Rumors: Golden State Warriors might sign $10,637,500 Memphis Grizzlies guard to bolster team around Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler

The Golden State Warriors could benefit significantly from signing Luke Kennard, a sharpshooting guard currently with the Memphis Grizzlies. Kennard’s ability to stretch the floor and his elite three-point shooting make him an attractive option for a team built around perimeter scoring and ball movement, especially with the Warriors star player Steph on fire.

Last night, Stephen Curry’s explosive outing didn’t just secure a win—it may have also served as a recruiting pitch. Facing Kennard directly, the four-time champion showcased why Golden State remains a prime destination for elite shooters.
As Dean Simon of the Sporting News noted, "Kennard was given a front-row seat to Curry's incredible night, and it might have done wonders to help persuade the guard into believing Golden State could be a perfect free agency destination."
With Kennard set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, the Golden State Warriors could make a strong push to pair him with Curry and Buddy Hield, creating one of the most dangerous long-range trios in the league.


Luke Kennard, 28, is one of the most efficient three-point shooters in NBA history. Here’s why he’d be a perfect fit in Golden State:
1. Elite shooting accuracy:
- Career 3P%: 43.9% (3rd all-time)
- 2024-25 season: 44.0% (2nd in NBA)
2. Catch-and-shoot dominance: 48.4% success rate this season (per Second Spectrum)
3. Experience: 8-year veteran with playoff experience
Adding Kennard would give the Warriors another reliable floor-spacer, easing defensive pressure on Curry and Klay Thompson while maximizing Steve Kerr’s motion-heavy offense.

Golden State’s offense thrives on three-point shooting, and Kennard’s presence would add another layer of efficiency. Consider these key benefits:
1. More spacing: Defenses would struggle to double-team Curry with Kennard and Hield on the perimeter.
2. Bench scoring: Kennard could lead the second unit, ensuring no drop-off when Curry rests.
3. Playoff-ready skill set: His composure and shot-making would be invaluable in high-pressure moments.

While Kennard’s skill set is enticing, the Golden State Warriors’ limited cap space means they’d likely need him to take a team-friendly deal. However, the chance to play alongside Curry and compete for a title could be a strong selling point.

If the Warriors can convince Kennard to join them, they’ll add one of the league’s most efficient shooters to an already potent offense. With Curry still playing at an MVP level, Golden State could re-establish itself as a true contender—and Kennard might be the missing piece.
