During a recent interview with The Athletic's Anthony Slater, Podziemski revealed that Warriors owner Joe Lacob had reassured him he wasn't being discussed in trade talks. The conversation occurred when the pair had crossed paths at a Las Vegas Aces game. Podziemski was in Vegas for Summer League.

Brandin Podziemski is happy to be on the Warriors, but the organization could have traded him away for an attractive haul of draft picks.

Podziemski, 21, enters his second season in Golden State likely with a starting spot following Klay Thompson’s departure.
