The Warriors enter a crucial offseason as they look to rebuild a dynasty on the fly without missing a beat.
After Steph Curry and Klay Thompson played a total of five games (all by Curry) last season, the Warriors sunk to the bottom of the NBA, going 15-50 as Steve Kerr tried to find out what current players would help a title push when his stars return and what the team still is missing.
The Warriors are looking to maximize the remaining prime years of Curry, Thompson and Draymond Green, believing they should return to title contention with a healthy core. They will enter the offseason armed with a top-five draft pick, a $17.2 million trade exception and an appealing situation for veteran players to take pay cuts to join.
