NBA Rumors: The signing that Warriors, Knicks, and Wolves are fighting for
Malcolm Brogdon is highly sought after by 3 franchises as a reinforcement for their respective second units
Although there are not many players left in the 2025 NBA Free Agency, some are still looking for a contract. One of them is Malcolm Brogdon. After 2 months in the transfer market, the veteran guard has not signed with any team yet. However, there are 3 teams very interested: Golden State Warriors, New York Knicks, and Minnesota Timberwolves.
This was reported by NBA Rumors journalist and insider Jake Fischer at The Athletic. In the case of the Warriors, the focus on Brogdon is directly linked to the ongoing situation with Jonathan Kuminga, a restricted free agent whose future impacts all franchise movements.
The California organization has nearly finalized deals on the table with Al Horford, De’Anthony Melton, Gary Payton II, and second-round rookie Will Richard, but luxury tax complications have delayed the completion of operations.
Brogdon's addition will depend on how this puzzle is solved. In the Bay Area, they believe the former Rookie of the Year could be an ideal complement to Stephen Curry and Draymond Green's offensive creation, providing points off the bench and experience in high-pressure games.
Knicks and Timberwolves, alert to any opportunity
Both New York and Minnesota have done their homework and have put Brogdon on their list of targets. The Knicks, coming off a summer where they strengthened their rotation with strategic moves, see the guard as a resource to diversify their backcourt alongside Jalen Brunson.
In Minneapolis, the interest is complicated by the contractual situation of Bones Hyland, whose renewal threatens to strain the Wolves' finances. While negotiating to retain the young guard, the executives also keep an eye on the availability of Malik Beasley, another name on their radar. In this scenario, Brogdon represents an alternative with more experience and stability.
At 32 years old, Brogdon maintains an open market but is conditioned by external factors: salary cap limits, tax management, and resolving other chain signings. After signing a two-year, $45 million extension with the Indiana Pacers in 2021, Brogdon had stints with the Boston Celtics and Portland Trail Blazers before joining the Washington Wizards, where he played last season.
