The Golden State Warriors are expected to bring back Draymond Green alongside Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler, but questions loom over the rest of the roster. The biggest uncertainty surrounds Jonathan Kuminga, a restricted free agent who could either be retained or used in sign-and-trade deals to bring in new talent.<\/p>\n

The team needs a more impactful starting center and additional shooting and scoring to create better spacing\u2014especially for Butler, who struggled once Curry was sidelined. Internal improvement is also key from young players like Moses Moody and Brandin Podziemski, who were inconsistent throughout the playoffs.<\/p>\n

This is the same challenge that\u2019s defined the Warriors\u2019 recent years: competing at the tail end of Curry\u2019s prime while trying to develop the next generation. Since winning the 2022 title, they haven\u2019t made it past the second round.<\/p>\n
