It’s been a rough offseason so far for the Golden State Warriors.

The Warriors lost out on two players that played vital roles in their 2022 NBA Championship. For starters, Gary Payton II took off to Portland on a deal the Dubs opted not to match. Otto Porter Jr. also left the Bay Area, signing with the Raptors.

The Golden State Warriors lost Otto Porter Jr. to the Toronto Raptors, and these three free agents could help return the high-demand skills they’ll be missing.

It was another deal Golden State could’ve likely matched but opted against that. Instead, the Warriors signed former Bucks’ first-round pick Donte DiVincenzo to a two-year deal. DiVincenzo won a title with Milwaukee, so they did add a former champion and solid three-point shooter.

Replacing the stretch-four skill set should be something the Warriors view as necessary.

It doesn’t help that big man Nemanja Bjelica left for a Turkish team. The loss of Bjelica and Porter Jr. will force the Warriors to bring in some frontcourt help, and a frontcourt three-point shooter is what type of player should be on the Dubs’ radar.

With that said, let’s dive into three players that would be quintessential addition for Golden State.
