The Golden State Warriors will have an entertaining offseason as they’ll have multiple avenues in which they can improve their 15-win roster.
There’s no denying the 2019-2020 season didn’t go as planned, for the NBA or the Golden State Warriors.
No one was predicting the league would take off a few months towards the end of the season just as no one was predicting that Golden State would end with a mere 15 wins. There were some silver linings.
The Warriors will have the No. 2 overall pick in the upcoming late-November draft. They may opt to trade the pick for a third true superstar, but nonetheless, they’ll have a high-value asset at their disposal.
On top of that, they’ll have a fully rested Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. Even Draymond Green would’ve used the time off. It was a blessing in disguise for a Warriors team that had been to five straight NBA Finals.
Another asset the Warriors will have in their back pocket is the mid-level exception, something the Warriors could use to bring in a solid rotational player. That said, let’s dive into three reasons why Aron Baynes is the quintessential player to sign with that exception.
