Warriors Show Strong Interest in Killian Tillie & NOT Lauri Markkanen?!

The Golden State Warriors are showing strong interest in forward Killian Tillie. After rehabbing and recovering in Spokane, Tillie has been ramping up for training camp workouts in hopes of securing a spot with another NBA team. Among the teams expressing interest, the Warriors and Philadelphia 76ers are particularly notable.

Warriors fans are reacting to the shift in rumors from Lauri Markkanen to Killian Tillie. In the past two seasons, Markkanen has emerged as one of the league’s top finishers and motion scorers. If a trade for Markkanen were to happen, it would be a significant addition for Golden State. However, reports indicate that a deal between the Warriors and the Utah Jazz involving Markkanen was never close. According to ESPN’s Bobby Marks, the Warriors have been protective of second-year guard Brandin Podziemski and have shown reluctance to meet the Jazz’s high demands for draft compensation.
