The Golden State Warriors are checking out veteran Troy Brown Jr. this week for a tryout, along with some other seasoned players, as they fine-tune their roster, per ESPN’s Kendra Andrews. Brown, who’s had stints with the Lakers and Timberwolves, could be the missing piece Golden State’s looking for.
With two partial non-guaranteed contracts up for grabs, the team’s got a chance to see if Brown’s got what it takes to make an impact. It’s a prime opportunity for him to prove himself and maybe snag a spot with the Warriors. Troy Brown Jr., repped by Calvin Andrews and Rich Paul, had a busy season, hitting the court for 59 games with the Minnesota Timberwolves and Detroit Pistons, where he averaged over 6 points and 2 rebounds per game. This shows he’s got the hustle and skills.
The Warriors will be working out veteran Troy Brown Jr. this week as part of a few vet workouts, a source tells ESPN.
Brown spent one season with the Lakers in 2022/23 and has time with the Timberwolves last year. Golden State has two partial non-guarantee contracts available.

Also, if the Warriors are looking to snag Jonas Valanciunas with Kevon Looney and Moses Moody, they’re going to need a new forward to fill that spot. Valanciunas, with his budget-friendly contract, could be a steal for the Warriors. A trade involving Kevon Looney and Moses Moody might do the trick, but the Wizards might also want a draft pick thrown in.
With Moody only 22 and showing mad potential on both ends of the court, he’d be a top-notch asset for the Wizards in any trade for Valanciunas. This makes the whole trade situation pretty thrilling for both teams. Plus, there are rumors about the Warriors eyeing another star player for a potential trade.
Nikola Vučević on the rumors of his potential trade to the Warriors
Last season, there was a lot of buzz about the Warriors possibly going after Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vučević in a trade, but nothing’s actually gone down yet. Nikola Vučević has chimed in, saying there’s no real info backing up the trade rumors at the moment. So, fans and analysts are left hanging, caught up in the hype of a potential move, but still waiting for something concrete to drop.
“In most cases, those are really just speculations,” Vucevic said. “Maybe the clubs talk, maybe there was some discussion, I don’t know, but if there’s a call between teams, it immediately gets out and people think that’s it. I haven’t received any information that I’ll be traded or anything.”
Nikola Vučević had a standout season, putting up over 15 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 assists per game for the Bulls. As a four-time NBA All-Star and with only a year and a half left on his contract with Chicago, his contract situation and strong performance make him a hot topic in trade rumors.
It’s still unclear if the Warriors will seal the deal on a trade, but the clock is ticking. To seriously chase that NBA Championship, making a big move isn’t just an option—it’s a must. The stakes are high, and fans are on edge, hoping the team will make the crucial play that could turn their championship dreams into reality. What are your thoughts on this?
