Turn on the television, the radio, fire up a podcast or hop onto your favorite sports website; everyone is talking about the Golden State Warriors right now, and what massive changes they will be making this offseason. The discussion ranges from informed to unhinged, but it’s happening everywhere.

It’s important for the front office to lay down some guidelines as they look at the roster. Some players will be untouchable; barring a gargantuan trade offer (and even with one in regards to our first player below) those players will be on the Warriors next season. At the other end of the spectrum are those players whom the team should move on from this offseason.

Let’s set those boundaries for the roster. Who has to stay, and who has to go?

Untouchable No. 1 – Stephen Curry

No words truly need to be written here. Stephen Curry is more untouchable than any other player in the league. He is the face, the heart and the soul of the Golden State Warriors, and he will retire with the franchise.

What’s even more remarkable about Curry is that he was every bit as good this season as he was during his prime, having another all-time regular season and then dropping 50 points in Game 7 against the Sacramento Kings. The Warriors still have a title window because Curry is a top-five player in the league, and as long as he remains so they will have a chance every season.
