It appears this “breaking news” is unverified—no credible sources report that the Golden State Warriors have signed 21-year-old star Jaime Jaquez Jr. for a $90 million deal from the Miami Heat…
Here’s what we do know about Jaquez:
He is currently 21 (turning 22 next February), playing for the Miami Heat, who drafted him 18th overall in 2023 .
He signed a rookie-scale contract with Miami, valued at roughly $17 million over four years, with team options into 2026–27 .
His current deal could be extended or restructured, but there’s been no credible reports of a massive $90 million transfer to the Warriors or any other team.
If you saw a headline claiming “Warriors sign Jaime Jaquez Jr. for $90 million,” it’s almost certainly a rumor or satire. I can keep an eye out and notify you if any legitimate trade or free-agent move surfaces involving him—but for now, nothing real has occurred.
Would you like me to look into the Warriors’ current roster plans or recent trad
e targets?
