NBA – Before the summer, the big problem for the Warriors and Steph Curry highlighted

Par Mathieu Seguin | Rédacteur sport

It’s not just the Lakers who are looking for a true pivot on the market. The Warriors are too, with some serious shortcomings in recent playoffs. And it’s not all that surprising with this rather interesting fact.

For some insiders, the summer of 2025 could be quite turbulent in the NBA world. Movement is expected from many franchises, including the Lakers, who are looking for a pivot. But they’re not alone in this, not with the Warriors around. It has to be said that for them, it’s also a necessity for 2026.

Beaten by the Timberwolves in these playoffs, Stephen Curry’s absence and injury certainly didn’t help. With him, perhaps the Dubs would have continued their run, but Steve Kerr’s tactics continue to annoy many. The small ball may no longer be as viable, so recruiting a post 5 seems important for them.

Do we know the Warriors’ priority?

While there’s a lot of talk about the Jonathan Kuminga soap opera, the Dubs will also be making the recruitment of a pivot a priority for this summer. Draymond Green has shown his limitations in this role, and according to a few insiders, the front office would like to remedy this problem. In any case, there are some interesting names on the market.

Some fans are pushing for the arrival of Karl-Anthony Towns, while Brook Lopez and Kristaps Porzingis would be other targets. What do they have in common? They all know how to punish from long range, which seems to be an important detail. Whatever happens, and with this fact reported by this Dubs fan account, recruiting is going to be mandatory.

@GSWBallReport : “The Warriors currently spend the least money at the center position in the league.”

Seemingly a small detail, but with the recent evolution of the league, having a good pivot is essential. Otherwise, it will be difficult to contain Nikola Jokic, Victor Wembanyama and the other post 5s in the future. The Dubs will therefore have to find a solution in the coming weeks, either with the draft, a trade or even the signing of a free agent. Whatever happens, fans are waiting for aggressive moves on the market to help Stephen Curry win another NBA title. Potentially his last.
