Writer Peter O'Keefe argues that the Golden State Warriors made an error by waiving guard Miles Kelly on Sunday rather than parting ways with Malevy Leons. Kelly posted 24 points, seven rebounds, and six assists in a preseason loss to Portland, but the team opted against retaining him on a two-way deal.

O'Keefe suggests Golden State prioritised Leons as a depth forward amid injuries to Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody. Additionally, wing Dalen Terry is expected to be waived before opening night against the Los Angeles Lakers due to two-way contract ineligibility.
