As a Warriors fan I think they need to do a lot this offseason but I don’t think there will actually be too many hard decisions.
The team is pretty clearly sorted like this:
Untouchable: Steph, Draymond, Klay* (at a reduced contract)
Keep if you can (maybe give up 1/3 as part of a young superstar trade): Kuminga, Podz, TJD
Open for business to trade/drop: CP3, Wiggins, Moody, GP2, Looney, any/all future picks
The rest can stay or go at minimal salaries
What do they need?
1) A second star scorer, ideally with ball handling skills to cover losing CP3
2) Someone >6’9”
3) If you lose Wiggins and GP2 you probably need to replace some point of attack defense
Goal is clearly to win another title or two before Steph and Kerr are done. Ideally while keeping some youth for the long term but I think they are willing to sacrifice the medium term (e.g. post Steph years 1-3)
Pitchfork was crazy back then.
Also, crazy is how a frequently injured Embiid will play in the Olympics.
