The Golden State Warriors may not have much cap space this offseason, but these bubble players may have the team re-thinking their long-term strategy.
Sadly, the Golden State Warriors, who are still able to brag about being to five straight NBA Finals, missed the Orlando restart after one of their worst seasons in team history. It was far from their worst team though as injuries set in early and often.
It started with the 2019 NBA Finals where Klay Thompson went down with a torn ACL.
Then Stephen Curry went out in the fourth game of the season and then missed the bulk of the season after breaking his left hand. D’Angelo Russell and Draymond Green also missed time prior to the team trading the former for Andrew Wiggins.
This team, despite winning 15 games and losing 50 this season, should bounce back next season. With the No. 1 overall pick, a $17.2 million trade exception and the mid-level exception at their disposal, the Warriors can and hopefully will improve their roster this offseason.
Who do they want to add in order to get back to Finals contention? Well, these six bubble players have forcible put themselves on Golden State’s radar. That said, let’s breakdown who they are and if they’d reasonable be a good fit with the Warriors.
