The Golden State Warriors have arguably the most important offseason in team history ahead of them. That said, let’s get into their top-25 targets.
Potentially the biggest offseason in team history, the Golden State Warriors need to make a few splash signing to keep their five-straight Finals appearances going. It starts with their own stars, but they may need far more than that.
Heading into the June 30 start time, the Warriors must be prepared for offers from all over. We don’t quite know what New York or Brooklyn will offer Kevin Durant. They don’t know if Klay Thompson will even look elsewhere if he’s offered a max contract.
Then, aside from their two stars, they’ve helped develop and give a platform for younger, oftentimes forgotten players to get quality minutes. One of which is Quinn Cook who could see offers from around the league as well.
Kevon Looney, Jonas Jerebko, and DeMarcus Cousins are three other Warriors that are up for a new contract. Sadly, it seems extremely unlikely that Golden State will be able to sign them all. They’ll be hunting for veteran’s minimum players if they retain both Durant and Thompson.
That’s why some may consider re-signing Durant who is already reportedly out all of next year a bad idea. Do they want to give up on the 2019-2020 season while the three other stars will still be in their prime?
That said, assuming everything is in play, let’s rank the top 25 free agents according to Warrior need, likelihood to sign and value that’d be added.
