Are Big Changes in Store for the Warriors?



Are big changes in store for the Golden State Warriors?

With a strong core in place, along with flexibility in the salary cap -- there are tough decisions to be made heading into the offseason, says Fox Sports.

Quote:
"But the Warriors are well positioned to contend for championships for years to come -- their three best players, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green -- are all young (28, 26, and 26, respectively) and are perfectly suited to succeed in an NBA that is rapidly evolving towards more pacing and shooting.


The Warriors have almost no threat of losing any of those three core players either: Green has four years remaining on his contract, Thompson has three years left on his team-friendly deal, and Curry is poised to receive a max deal next summer when the salary cap is expected to go above $100 million."


Could the Warriors try exceptionally hard to land Kevin Durant?


When asked about what he's taking into account this offseason, Durant simply said, "I'm worried about basketball."


That might be possible, especially with a strong possibility Harrison Barnes could be on the way out after he turned down an offer sheet before this prior season. Not retaining Barnes doesn't mean the Warriors will get Durant -- but they may be forced to move on from Barnes due to his likely high price.


Simply put, the Warriors just blew the biggest lead in NBA Finals history after having to come back from a 3-1 deficit against Oklahoma City to even get to the finals. There's a lot of decisions that'll need to be made during the upcoming offseason.


If you were the Warriors GM, what moves would you be making this offseason?

Stay put. They were one win away from their second championship. If Barnes gets too expensive let him walk and fill his shoes with maybe Matt Barnes?? Im sure they can find a good vet to take a pay cut for a title run.

They need to get tougher and need to find players that exemplify that toughness in addition to being able to play "D" and lock down the paint.

Matt Barnes is a good fit defensively.
I see a Wesley Johnson, Evan Turner type joining the Warriors if they cant resign Harrision Barnes
also a more athletic, defensive big like a Hassan whiteside, which Im sure theyll make a run at also in free agency.

a line up of
-curry
-thompson
-evan turner- (a defensive liability. but more consistent than harrison barnes on offense, plus he can play three positions. he's played the pg at times sparingly.)
-greene
-Whiteside

looks good on paper

Rush, Barbosa, Speights and Varejao are all unrestricted free agents.
Barnes, Mcadoo, Clark and Eezelie are all restricted free agents.

GSW could wind up with only 1 big on their team and thats Bogut.

there are some good role players headed to free agency this year.

They should let go Barnes and try to get Batum in there.

A big is needed, someone who could protect the paint and is an enforcer. Whiteside fit and another player that has not been mentioned, Joakim Noah. I think he fits that team perfectly. An athletic wing will also help as well if Barnes decides to go.
