NBA Moves: Warriors, Marques Bolden, Nets, Thunder, Buddy Boeheim

Warriors

The Warriors trimmed their training camp roster, waiving center Marques Bolden and guard Taevion Kinsey, the team announced. Both were on Exhibit 10 deals and lasted through four preseason games before being let go.

Bolden, 27, has logged NBA time with Cleveland, Milwaukee and Charlotte since 2020. He appeared in two preseason games for Golden State, scoring nine points with four rebounds in just 11 minutes.

Kinsey, an undrafted wing out of Marshall, saw limited minutes across three games and didn’t score.

Both are expected to land with the Santa Cruz Warriors, who already hold their G League rights. They’ll earn an $85,300 bonus if they stick for 60 days. Golden State now has two open spots on its preseason roster.

Nets

Brooklyn finalized its deal with Alabama forward Grant Nelson, signing him to an Exhibit 10 contract, per Sharif Phillips-Keaton of Nets Wire.

Nelson, who transferred from North Dakota State, averaged 11.5 points and 7.6 rebounds last season while helping the Crimson Tide reach the Elite Eight.

He’ll compete for a two-way slot, though time is running short before final cuts. Exhibit 10 deals are standard camp invites that convert into G League bonuses if a player spends 60 days with the affiliate — in this case, the Long Island Nets.

Meanwhile, Brooklyn waived Chinese forward Fanbo Zeng, according to Adam Zagoria of ZagsBlog. Zeng averaged 14.7 points and 4.6 rebounds for the Beijing Ducks last season and played in one preseason game for the Nets. He’s expected to join Long Island as well.

Thunder

The Thunder made another end-of-camp swap, waiving guard Buddy Boeheim and signing rookie Erik Reynolds, the team announced.

Boeheim, a former Syracuse standout, played 20 games with the Pistons from 2022–24 before spending last season with the Oklahoma City Blue. He averaged 12.5 points and hit nearly 38 percent of his threes on heavy volume.

The 25-year-old had just signed an Exhibit 10 deal earlier this week and is expected to rejoin the Blue, where he’ll earn an $85,300 bonus if he stays 60 days.

Reynolds, meanwhile, comes in as a scorer with upside. The Saint Joseph’s product averaged 16 points as a senior and left school as its all-time leading scorer. He played for OKC’s Summer League team and should also land with the Blue once camp wraps.
