Warriors won’t give up picks for Myles Turner
The Golden State Warriors are exploring ways to move Kristaps Porzingis before the Dec. 15 reaggregation deadline but refuse to surrender draft picks for a deal. Trade talks involve the Bulls (Jalen Smith), Pelicans, and most notably the Bucks, who want Myles Turner—still under an $82.6 M contract through 2029—in exchange for picks and possibly Moses Moody. Turner, averaging 7.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.5 blocks, is struggling on a 1‑9 Bucks team and carries a hefty salary, while Porzingis sits out with no current salary and could be bought out. The Warriors favor a low‑cost, movable asset like Smith over sacrificing future draft capital.

New Orleans is without Zion Williamson (rest), Trey Murphy III (bilateral patellar tendinopathy), Yves Missi (left knee contusion) and Trendon Watford (right ankle sprain). The game tips off at 7 p.m. PT on NBA TV and NBC Sports Bay Area.

Report: Warriors Rejected Trade Offer From Bucks For Porzingis's Contract
The Golden State Warriors reject a Milwaukee Bucks proposal to swap Kristaps Porzingis’s $20 million contract for Myles Turner, citing no interest in adding draft picks or giving up Moses Moody. Bucks are willing to absorb Porzingis’s salary but want draft compensation, which the Warriors refuse. Turner, down to 7.1 points in 10 games and carrying $57 million over two more years, would also require extra assets. Meanwhile, Moody thrives with 12.1 ppg and 40% from three, leaving the trade off the table for now.
What’s Going on in the Pacific Division: Ducks on a five-game winning streak, Sharks on a five-game losing streak
The Pacific Division battle intensifies as the Anaheim Ducks ride a five‑game winning streak to a 10‑7‑1 record and third place, highlighted by 5‑3 wins over the Oilers, Flames and Penguins. Meanwhile, the Calgary Flames sit just four points out of a playoff spot at 8‑9‑1 after a 2‑1 win over the Sharks and a 4‑3 OT victory over the Flyers, but they dropped a 5‑3 game to the Ducks. The Oilers remain atop at 12‑3‑3 despite recent narrow losses, while the Sharks slump to a five‑game skid (7‑11‑1). With the Kraken, Kings, Canucks and others scrambling, the next week’s home‑and‑away matchups could reshuffle the standings.

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak is right to defend defensive coordinator Rob Leonard in the way that he did after the loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
Player review: Osleivis Basabe
Osleivis Basabe’s 2026 MLB debut with the San Francisco Giants started with a flash—8‑for‑24, three homers and eight RBIs in his first eight games, yielding a +0.637 Win Probability Added. However, the spark fizzled as he went 18‑for‑105 over the remaining 38 games, posting a -1.057 WPA, a .202/.268/.341 slash line, five home runs and a 71 wRC+. Despite reverse platoon splits (.747 OPS vs. right‑handers, .406 vs. left‑handers) and better road production, his on‑field miscues and lackluster defense led the Giants to release him, making him a free agent at 26. The piece evaluates whether Basabe can rebound as a backup infielder or become a forgotten bridge player between eras.
Raiders HC Klint Kubiak staunchly defends defensive staff despite recent slide
After a 38-17 loss to the 49ers, Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak publicly backs defensive coordinator Rob Leonard and the entire defensive staff.

The recap notes Maxx Crosby’s lone sack on Brock Purdy, strong linebacker performances from Nakobe Dean (18 tackles) and Quay Walker (11), and a single interception by Tre'Dan Stukes. The Raiders, now 4-5, have allowed 27+ points in each game since week three.

Shelburne highlighted his Rookie‑of‑the‑Year candidacy during a recent ESPN segment.
The 1 trade 49ers must make in final week before 2026 NFL trade deadline after adding DeForest Buckner
The San Francisco 49ers, after adding Pro Bowl interior lineman DeForest Buckner for a 2027 fourth‑round pick, should act now to fill their depleted receiver corps. With Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel and Christian Kirk sidelined, the article argues the 49ers must trade a 2027 third‑rounder to the Indianapolis Colts for rookie WR Josh Downs before the November 9 deadline. Downs, a 25‑year‑old slot receiver on an expiring contract, fits Kyle Shanahan’s short‑ and intermediate‑route scheme and offers immediate depth without long‑term risk. The third‑round price matches the Colts’ ask and beats competing offers, giving San Francisco a boost in its championship push.

Meanwhile, rookie sensation Yaxel Lendeborg is stealing the spotlight, posting 37 points against the Clippers and ranking among Warriors greats for 200+ points in his first 10 games. Golden State enters the game 7‑0 after a historic comeback from 0‑3, while the Pelicans sit 4‑6 without Yves Missi. Tip‑off is 7 p.m. PT.
