Although Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors are sitting at home, the 2021 NBA Playoffs have been a pretty wild ride. It’s hard not to be excited with all of the young talent taking over the league this year, and even with some unfortunate injuries, this postseason has been an enjoyable experience.

Nonetheless, the Dubs shouldn’t be kicking back and simply watching the games. No, the front office should be in full scouting mode, watching the upcoming free agents who can help the Warriors next season.

The Golden State Warriors should be monitoring the NBA Playoffs for performers who are upcoming free agents they can pursue this summer.

Money is tight in Golden State. With only a few exceptions, the Warriors really can’t sign any big-name players this summer. Their $5.9 million dollar mid-level taxpayer exception offers the greatest chance at adding talent on a budget.

With that being said, each of these three performers could be available at that price. Let’s look at how each player has been holding up in the postseason and discuss how they can benefit the Dubs in their own playoff run next year.
