Warriors open to trading no. 11 pick in 2026 Draft

Golden State Warriors are evaluating whether to keep or move the No. 11 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, with general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. confirming the franchise is exploring every scenario. Speaking at a press conference, Dunleavy said the team is considering trading the selection for a veteran capable of contributing immediately, while also remaining open to moving up or down the board. He emphasized that a lottery pick in a strong class still holds significant value, even for a team focused on maximizing Stephen Curry’s championship window.

Dunleavy noted that the front office is only beginning its prospect evaluations following the combine but feels optimistic about the quality available at No. 11, citing past organizational success from similar draft ranges. The reference to Curry’s own selection underscored Golden State’s belief in its scouting process. The Warriors now face a pivotal decision as they balance long‑term planning with short‑term competitiveness.
