This is the Golden State Warriors' plan this summer to compete for the championship again
We analyze in detail the leeway the Warriors' management will have this summer to bolster the roster.
Resignation gave way to the brightest hope when Jimmy Butler arrived, but Stephen Curry's injury ended up ruining everything. Golden State Warriors are walking the fine line between the end of an era and one last glorious dance. To tilt the balance towards the latter, they will need to make some moves this summer.
While it's true that the big bet was made by signing Jimmy Butler and almost all the salary cap is tied up with their three veteran stars, Golden State Warriors must not give up on seeking ways to build an even better team than they had for these playoffs. As long as Stephen Curry remains active and at this level, it is necessary not to skimp on resources and to surround the legendary point guard in the best possible way. Some doubt that this veteran Big 3 can compete well throughout a whole season, but it is essential to trust them because there is no much more option.
- They have 3 Free Agents they can do without, and both Moody and Hield are not guaranteed continuity
Should they part ways with all of them, or some, they would gain some salary cap space to make a signing and complete a team full of role players who have performed well but may seem insufficient to compete against the rising giants in the Western Conference. The best way to combat this is through a Sign&Trade of Jonathan Kuminga, which could allow them to acquire a mid to high-tier player who brings different elements, possibly in the center position.
- Completing a Sign&Trade with Kuminga could be the key to signing a reliable center
The big question is whether these Golden State Warriors will continue to vie for glory next season. Right now, the only answer that can be given is that they need their Big 3 to stay fully healthy for the vast majority of the season, which is challenging given their ages. Hence, they need to strengthen their second unit with a mid to high-level player, definitively unlocking the difficult situation with Kuminga. Relying on the magic of Stephen Curry and the competitiveness of Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler is the only available lifeline.
