Beaten by the Wolves, the Warriors will return next year to try and win the NBA title. But while the franchise needs to recruit this summer, the interior sector seems to be the big problem for this former homegrown player.
Without the injured Stephen Curry, the Warriors failed to spring a surprise against the Timberwolves in the playoffs. Frustrating for players and fans alike, even if everyone wants to remain hopeful for the future. The arrival of Jimmy Butler in the trade has changed all that, and Steve Kerr’s men have every intention of trying their luck for 2026.
Not sure they’ll succeed, but count on the front office to be aggressive on the market. We already know that Jonathan Kuminga should be retained, potentially to be better traded a few months later. But the priority should be the interior sector, with the Dubs looking for a true pivot to compete with the competition.
Warriors’ priority already established
Several names have been circulating in recent weeks to help Stephen Curry and his partners. Naz Reid, for example, Kristaps Porzingis and Brook Lopez. These are obviously interesting leads, but it remains to be seen whether the front office can pull it off by recruiting a quality player. But for some, it’s a necessity.
This is the opinion of Baron Davis, for example, who is worried about Golden State’s interior sector at the moment. The Warriors couldn’t make the difference against Rudy Gobert, and should they come up against Nikola Jokic, the franchise could find itself in trouble. So for the former player, GSW must do what it takes this off-season.
Baron Davis : “Their ceiling is really kind of the move that they make in the offseason… I personally think they need some front-court athleticism to compete in the West with Nikola Jokic, Naz Reid and people like that.”
For the time being, the Dubs are relying heavily on Draymond Green and his versatility to limit the damage. But we’ve seen that the inside man is often in trouble at this position, so recruiting a true post 5, someone with size, seems to be the best option. Now it’s up to the directors to find the rare gem on the market.
