The Warriors made some changes over the summer, but the team failed to create a superstar pairing with Steph Curry and another skilled player in the league.
But it wasn’t for lack of trying.
Golden State don’t appear to be giving up on their star hunt though, since Warriors reporter Anthony Slater thinks the team will make a big splash during the 2024-25 season.
“They’ll make a significant trade: In a slightly upgraded form, the Warriors have the same problem as a season ago,” Slater wrote. “They have plenty of rotation-level NBA talent but not enough top-end scoring or creation next to Stephen Curry. I imagine they’ll win enough games to stay in the playoff mix, tick off a couple of capable players who are buried in the rotation and then, once January or February nears, find a consolidation trade that better balances the roster and rotation.
“They have the first-rounders, flexible contracts and young talent to get a deal done. They say they’ll be aggressive. Curry will exert some polite leverage if he knows there is an upgrade out there that is reasonably available. Another aspect to watch is Jonathan Kuminga’s contract talks. If he extends in October, collective bargaining agreement rules make him nearly impossible to trade until next summer. If he doesn’t (my current guess), he remains an obvious and appealing trade piece.”
It would be a shame if the Warriors didn’t at least try to build a championship team around him.
Draymond Green is the only remaining player besides Steph in The Bay that has won four championships and Green recently said that him and Curry are hungry for more.
“I know I ain’t done. I know he ain’t done,” Green told The Athletic recently. “So it ain’t like, ‘All right, I feel like I’m at the end. I’m cashing it in.’ Nah. We can do that s— again.
I know we can do it again. I’m not a part of the consortium that don’t think we can get it done. But in doing it again, you’ve got to acknowledge that it’s not going to look like it did before. I’d struggle if we were just cashing it in. That ain’t for me. But I don’t feel like anyone around here is doing that. We’re actively trying to put the pieces together to build.”
