This is especially true given owner Joe Lacob&#8217;s aggressive approach to acquiring star talent.<\/p>\n<p>Lacob also owns the Golden State Valkyries in the WNBA and is reportedly eager to land a franchise superstar for the expansion team.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s where A&#8217;ja Wilson enters the picture. The four-time WNBA MVP and three-time champion is expected to be a key free-agent target for the Valkyries, per Siegel.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson and Adebayo have been together for years, and the idea of them becoming the faces of Golden State&#8217;s NBA and WNBA franchises is something worth monitoring.<\/p>\n<p>This season, Adebayo is averaging 18.3 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game.<\/p>\n<p>                                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/basketnews.com\/plus?utm_source=basketnews_com&amp;utm_medium=bn_plus&amp;utm_id=UA-259273-31&amp;utm_campaign=banners_free_content_for_not_members_bottom_7\" class=\"banners_paid_content_info_block_white banners-paid-content-info-block-white\" data-google-interstitial=\"false\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>                                                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bn-plus-img img-fluid\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/bn-plus.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                                            Thank you for reading us!
