In a rapidly developing story, the Golden State Warriors have reportedly reached a personal agreement with highly-rated power forward Jalen Reynolds, a Dallas-based standout currently under contract with a Western Conference club. The Warriors are now set to submit a formal transfer offer to the Dallas organization in an effort to finalize the deal before the close of the offseason roster movement window.
🔥 Warriors Move Aggressively to Reinforce Frontcourt
According to multiple sources close to the situation, Golden State has already agreed to personal terms with Reynolds on a three-year deal worth up to $39 million, pending the successful completion of a club-to-club transfer arrangement.
Reynolds, 27, spent last season with the Dallas Stallions — a G League affiliate team that has recently signed players to dual NBA contracts. The forward made waves throughout the 2024–25 campaign, averaging 16.1 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks per game, while demonstrating improved range and floor-spacing ability.
He’s seen by the Warriors as a high-upside addition who could rotate between the 4 and 5 spots, particularly with Draymond Green aging and Kevon Looney’s future in questionamid trade rumors.
> “We love what Jalen brings — toughness, energy, and flexibility,” a Warriors insider told NBA Transfer Wire. “He’s young, ready to contribute, and he fits Steve Kerr’s modern style perfectly.”
🤝 Next Step: Formal Bid to Dallas Club
While the Warriors have cleared the personal hurdle with the player and his agent, the deal now hinges on an official offer being accepted by the Dallas club, which holds Reynolds under a partially guaranteed contract.
Golden State is expected to submit a $5.8 million buyout package, including a future second-round draft pick and cash considerations. The Stallions’ front office has not yet commented, but sources suggest they’re open to allowing Reynolds to make the jump to a contending team.
🧠Strategic Depth for Golden State
This move aligns with the Warriors’ broader offseason strategy of injecting youth and athleticism into their frontcourt rotation. With Jonathan Kuminga expected to take on a larger offensive role and Trayce Jackson-Davis continuing to develop, adding a physically mature, versatile big like Reynolds could offer an immediate impact.
>“He’s not a star name, but he’s exactly the kind of player Golden State has built dynasties around — selfless, gritty, and smart,” said ESPN analyst J.J. Redick.
🗣️ Dallas Club’s Dilemma
For the Dallas club, the interest in Reynolds isn’t unexpected — but losing him could hurt long-term development goals. Team officials are reportedly weighing the financial and competitive trade-offs of holding him versus letting him advance to a bigger platform in Golden State.
Some insiders believe Dallas may attempt to negotiate a sign-and-trade, maximizing value from the transfer by asking for a developmental piece or future draft capital in return.
🔮 What’s Next?
With personal terms now secured, all eyes are on Dallas. If the offer is accepted in the coming days, Reynolds will become the first major frontcourt signing of the Warriors’ offseason, and possibly a key piece in their bid to return to championship contention.
