Despite trade rumors linking Michael Porter Jr. to the Warriors, ESPN reports Golden State isn't interested, though they could consider deals for the right star amid Jonathan Kuminga's trade request.
Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. has been linked to the Golden State Warriors in recent weeks, but ESPN reporters Anthony Slater and Shams Charania say the Warriors aren't actually interested in him.

According to ESPN, the Warriors haven't spoken to the Nets in over a month and have never shown serious interest in trading for Porter Jr.
They have been fond of Trey Murphy III in the past, but the New Orleans Pelicans are reportedly not entertaining offers for any of their young wings.
If the right star player became available, Golden State would be willing to trade multiple first-round picks, though they are more protective of their 2028 and later picks than their 2026 selection.
With Jonathan Kuminga requesting a trade, the Warriors could be in the market for a new wing ahead of the February 5 deadline.
This season, 27-year-old Porter Jr. is enjoying a career year, averaging 25.7 points (40.1% from three), 7.5 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game.
The seven-year NBA veteran spent his first six seasons in Denver before being traded to Brooklyn last summer in exchange for Cam Johnson.
