The Warriors are now without Willie Cauley-Stein, Alec Burks, Glenn Robinson III, D’Angelo Russell, Jacob Evans III and Omari Spellman. However, the team now has a better outlook when it comes to the future.
Prior to the 2019-20 season, the Golden State Warriors had limited draft capital and several expensive contracts on the books. Adding young talent on rookie deals around Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green is a path to preserving Golden State’s chances of remaining in title contention for the future.
