The Golden State Warriors have exercised their 2022-23 rookie scale team options for Jordan Poole and James Wiseman. This is the four-year option for Poole and the third-year option for Wiseman.

Poole has been a rotation player for the Warriors since his rookie season. In two-plus seasons, he's averaged 10.5 points per game. Poole had a breakout season in 2020-21, as he averaged 12 points per game and shot 35.1% from behind the arc.

Poole will be under contract for $3.9 million for 2022-23. He'll then be eligible for restricted free agency in the summer of 2023.

Wiseman suffered an injury-plagued rookie season, after being the second overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. In 39 games (27 starts), Wiseman averaged 11.5 points and 5.8 rebounds per game. Wiseman has yet to play in the 2021-22 season, as he rehabs from a torn meniscus in his right knee.

Wiseman will be under contract for $9.6 million for 2022-23. The Warriors hold another team option for Wiseman for the 2023-24 season.

Miles Bridges and Stephen Curry have been named the NBA's Players of the Week for Week 1 (Oct. 19-24).

Bridges averaged 25.0 points and 8.0 rebounds as the Charlotte Hornets went 3-0.

Curry averaged 31.0 points, 9.0 rebounds and 7.0 assists as the Golden State Warriors also went 3-0.

Klay Thompson had a strong reaction to being left off the NBA's 75th anniversary team, which led to his teammates poking fun at him by giving him a No. 77 jersey in his locker. 

"77!" Thompson said. "Best player of all time, baby!"

"Get the new jersey!" Stephen Curry said with a laugh. "New jersey alert!"

Thompson missed the last two seasons due to injuries. 

"I didn't know what it meant, at first," Steve Kerr said after practice. "And then somebody explained it. I thought that was quite, quite funny."

The Golden State Warriors re-signed veteran guard Gary Payton II. Payton inked a one-year deal at the veteran minimum with a partial guarantee. Payton had been waived by the Warriors on Sunday and cleared waivers on Tuesday.

By waiving and re-signing Payton, the Warriors lowered his cap hit. Due to Golden State being deep into the luxury tax, any additional salary they carry comes with prohibitive penalties.

Payton signed a two-year contract for the veteran minimum in mid-May last season. Payton had previously completed two 10 Day contracts with the Warriors. Golden State is said to like Payton's on-ball defense, as well as his ability to run the offense as a backup point guard.

The Golden State Warriors claimed guard Jeff Dowtin off waivers. The point guard was waived after spending the preseason with the Orlando Magic.

The Warriors then converted Dowtin's contract to a Two-Way deal. Dowtin joins Chris Chiozza as Golden State's two Two-Way players.

Dowtin went undrafted out of Rhode Island at the 2020 NBA Draft. He played for the Lakeland Magic during the 2021 G League bubble. In 15 games, Dowtin averaged 6.5 points and 2.5 assists.

Golden State Warriors veterans Stephen Curry and Draymond Green hoped the team would keep Avery Bradley on the opening night roster. Bradley was part of the Warriors round of cuts, as Golden State chose to keep their 15th roster spot open for the time being.

Bradley didn't show much in the preseason, but the Warriors stars weren't worried about the 11-year veteran's ability to produce. At one point in the preseason, there was even a thought that Bradley could start until Klay Thompson returned from injury. The idea was to keep Jordan Poole in the sixth man role, which is where he'll likely play once Thompson returns.

Now, Bradley and fellow guards Mychal Mulder and Gary Payton II are free agents. Mulder is a candidate to return to Golden State to fill their open Two-Way spot. There are rumors Payton could be re-signed to fill the Warriors final roster spot, as well.

The Golden State Warriors have waived Avery Bradley, Gary Payton II, Mychal Mulder and Jordan Bell.

The Warriors strongly considered keeping Bradley and Payton.

Golden State is currently leaving their 15th roster spot vacant but there will be discussions on what to do with it in the coming days. There is a possibility of re-signing Payton.

Klay Thompson last played in an NBA game in the 2019 Finals after suffering a tear in his ACL and then a ruptured Achilles in November 2020. Thompson's exact return has not yet been determined, but Shams Charania of The Athletic reports he may return to practice in November.

"I'm told Klay Thompson will be cleared for full practice over the next month or so," said Charania.

Thompson's return date has been set at around Christmas.. 

The Golden State Warriors have signed L.J. Figueroa to a training camp contract. Figueroa's deal is expected to be fully non-guaranteed.

Figueroa went undrafted out of Oregon at the 2021 NBA Draft. He then played in Las Vegas Summer League with the Dallas Mavericks. In five games with Dallas, Figueroa averaged 7.0 points and 7.6 rebounds.

It's expected that Figueora will join the Santa Cruz Warriors of the G League as an Affiliate Player following the preseason.

The Golden State Warriors have signed Quinndary Weatherspoon.

Weatherspoon appeared in 31 games with the San Antonio Spurs over the past two seasons. Weatherspoon was the 49th overall pick in 2019.
