It was almost five years ago that Kevin Durant left the Warriors, and key members of the organization have on numerous occasions since deliberated on the possibility of a return. “Hell yeah,” Stephen Curry said two years ago. “My thing was, you can't never not think about that,” Draymond Green said a couple months later. Golden State CEO Joe Lacob has on several occasions made it clear that he did not understand why Durant chose to leave via sign-and-trade with the Brooklyn Nets in July 2019. The idea of KD returning to the Warriors remains appealing in 2024. He’s still playing at All-Star...…It was almost five years ago that Kevin Durant left the Warriors, and key members of the organization have on numerous occasions since deliberated on the possibility of a return. “Hell yeah,” Stephen Curry said two years ago. “My thing was, you can't never not think about that,” Draymond Green said a couple months later.

After four seasons playing for the arch-rival Seattle Seahawks, could free-agent safety Jamal Adams make his way to the 49ers? It reportedly can't be ruled out. San Francisco is among "a handful of teams who have kept in touch with Adams" in NFL free agency, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reported Monday, citing sources. But, per Condotta, the Seahawks also are in contact with Adams and consider a reunion with him as an option to fill their needs at safety and linebacker. The 49ers, meanwhile, could use the seven-year NFL veteran's presence as well, as safety Talanoa Hufanga works his...…After four seasons playing for the arch-rival Seattle Seahawks, could free-agent safety Jamal Adams make his way to the 49ers?

The 49ers, over the course of the last six years, have put themselves into position to win the ultimate prize, though they have suffered losses to the Kansas City Chiefs in two of the past five Super Bowls. During the course of the recently completed three-day 2024 NFL Draft, the 49ers constantly were faced with decisions about how much to swing for immediate help or whether it was best to look a season or two into the future. “You want to always think about what helps us now, but then you get to that spot and there always isn't that answer right then,” 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said. “And...…The 49ers, over the course of the last six years, have put themselves into position to win the ultimate prize, though they have suffered losses to the Kansas City Chiefs in two of the past five Super Bowls.

A window of opportunity can close in a hurry, sometimes quicker than an outstretched arm can snatch its descent. The weight of greatness, singular or collective, is a burdened opportunity that’s power is in the beholder.  Therein lies the difference between the 49ers and Warriors right now.  Which general manager is under more pressure: John Lynch of the 49ers or Mike Dunleavy Jr. of the Warriors? Either can make a strong case for their team, but there’s one right answer because of one ultimate factor.  “I think a lot fell on Steph [Curry’s] shoulders,” Dunleavy said at his...…A window of opportunity can close in a hurry, sometimes quicker than an outstretched arm can snatch its descent.
