Warriors Caught Sleeping Again After Close Rival Makes Shock Free Agent Signing
The Golden State Warriors may have just missed a critical opportunity to strengthen their roster, as a close Western Conference rival pulled off a stunning free agent coup. In a surprise move, the Sacramento Kings signed versatile two-way forward OG Anunoby, widely considered one of the top free agents this offseason. The signing not only bolsters Sacramento’s defensive prowess but also adds depth to a lineup that’s been steadily closing the gap on Golden State.
While the Warriors have remained relatively quiet in the free agency market, their lack of urgency is raising concerns. With Klay Thompson gone and an aging core, many fans expected aggressive moves to stay competitive in a loaded West. Instead, Golden State appears to be banking on internal development and minor tweaks—a risky approach considering the growing strength of their rivals.
The Kings, on the other hand, are clearly aiming to contend now. Anunoby brings elite perimeter defense, reliable three-point shooting, and playoff experience—traits the Warriors desperately need. Once dominant, Golden State now risks falling behind if front office inertia continues. As the league evolves, so must the Warriors, or they’ll find themselves chasing, not leading, the pack.
