"Warriors Extend Kerr's Contract, Podz Jokes About Paying Player's Fine"

After signing a record $35 million contract extension, Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr joked about using his newfound wealth to pay for teammate Lester Quinones' fines following his ejection from a recent game. Quinones was ejected after receiving two technical fouls during a scuffle at the end of the game. Kerr's gesture of covering the fines, which could amount to $6,000, is notable considering Quinones' low base salary compared to the rest of the team.

"Unforeseen Impact: Golden State Warriors' Last-Minute Trade Shakes Up NBA Landscape"

Warriors' Poole Prepares for Lakers Series and Offseason with Quinones.

Warriors guard Jordan Poole had a poor performance in Game 4 against the Lakers, going scoreless in 10 minutes of play. Poole's lack of playoff toughness and reluctance to speak to the media about his performance is concerning given his upcoming contract extension. The Warriors remain hopeful about their chances to come back from a 3-1 deficit, but a second-round exit could signal the end of their dynasty. Guard Lester Quinones is ineligible to play in the playoffs due to his two-way contract, but he's happy with his progress and will be a restricted free agent this summer.

Warriors Promote Anthony Lamb and Add Lester Quiones to Roster.

The Golden State Warriors have converted two-way player Anthony Lamb to a regular NBA contract for the remainder of the season, making him playoff-eligible. Lamb has been a strong rotation piece for the Warriors, but has faced sexual assault allegations from his time at the University of Vermont.
