The Golden State Warriors are set to have 10 of their players become free agents. Where does each one rank in importance?

After once again claiming the top of the mountain in the NBA, the Golden State Warriors appear to be destined to run the league for a long time. With a roster full of superstars and role players that supplement them perfectly, Golden State has found the right mix.

Still, with four superstars on the roster and only so much money to go around, it makes free agency tough to navigate for the team. When their own players are up for free agency, it means that other teams will be pouring in with offers for some of their talent that they won’t be able to match.

Of course, the Warriors will keep their top superstars such as Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry with big deals. That’s where the money gets tight and they are then forced to try and keep critical pieces such as an Andre Iguodala or Shaun Livingston.

Once they get their important role players in check, they can then focus on rounding out the roster. Guys that saw minutes on one-year deals will be evaluated and Bob Myers will determine whether or not he wants to bring them back.

That is if they haven’t received an offer from another team already. The good news for Golden State is that by virtue of being the top dogs, there will be veterans that want a ring at this point in their careers ready to jump on and join the ride.

Before they can start evaluating others, they have to take care of their own. With a whopping 10 players set to be free agents, here’s a complete ranking of every player set to have a chance at getting paid.
