For a while, it appeared that the Warriors<\/a> were in the race to trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo.<\/p>\n

That seems to have changed, as the team made a trade to acquire Kristaps Porzingis on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Jonathan Kuminga being routed to the Hawks<\/a> is a major aspect of this deal as well, but another less talked-about one is that the Warriors have reunited two former NBA <\/a>champion teammates from the 2024 Celtics <\/a>team.<\/p>\n

Celtics’ 2024 champions Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford reunite in Golden State<\/p>\n

Last offseason, the Celtics<\/a> blew up the core of their 2024 title team.<\/p>\n

They didn’t bring back Al Horford, so he signed with the Warriors and has played there the entire season so far.<\/p>\n

They also traded away Kristaps Porzingis to the Hawks.<\/p>\n

Less than 7 months after all of that happened, Porzingis and Horford now find themselves back together as teammates.<\/p>\n

The Warriors have a tough challenge ahead of them in the West, but they just added more championship DNA to their roster to pair with Steph Curry.<\/p>\n

Both players were a part of a talented Celtics frontcourt, especially in the 2023-24 season, and have great chemistry already.<\/p>\n

The Warriors might not be done making moves, but Porzingis appears to be their big forward acquisition for this deadline, and it could pay off if he stays healthy.<\/p>\n
