The Golden State Warriors are reportedly exploring a trade for Chicago Bulls forward Jalen Smith, a former top-10 draft pick, according to a report from Heavy.com's Sean Deveney published on Thursday, November 5, 2026.

Smith, 24, was selected 10th overall by the Phoenix Suns in the 2020 NBA Draft and has since played for the Indiana Pacers and the Bulls. The 6-foot-10 forward is averaging 7.2 points and 4.5 rebounds per game this season for Chicago.

The Warriors, seeking frontcourt depth and versatility, view Smith as a potential fit alongside their core. No specific trade framework has been disclosed, but the pursuit signals Golden State's active approach ahead of the NBA trade deadline.
