The Golden State Warriors may have another Denver Nuggets player on their radar amid growing speculation about Nikola Jokic's future. Golden State recently emerged as a team monitoring Jokic's potential availability, but a new insider comment has introduced another mystery.
Warriors insider Tim Kawakami hinted that an unnamed Denver player could become an intriguing trade target for Golden State.
During a podcast discussion, Kawakami teased a possible target within the Nuggets organization without identifying the player.
“There's one in Denver… What do I know? Nothing, but there is one in Denver,” Kawakami said.
His cryptic remarks immediately raised questions about which Nuggets player might interest the Warriors. However, Kawakami offered no confirmation of active negotiations or a potential deal.
The comments also follow recent speculation involving Jokic, whose contract situation has attracted attention around the league.
NBA insider Jake Fischer previously suggested that Golden State is keeping an eye on Jokic's future. The Warriors could have greater financial flexibility to pursue a major acquisition in 2027.
However, Jokic has publicly expressed his desire to remain in Denver. His stated preference makes any potential move far from certain.
