Golden State has secured its star core of Stephen Curry , Jimmy Butler III and Green for at least the next two seasons. However, the rest of the roster can stand to see plenty of improvement despite the salary being low for the team to use this summer.
They will have to address the contract situations of Jonathan Kuminga , Gary Payton II , Kevin Looney, and Kevin Knox . The first is a restricted free agent, but his demands for a bigger role could prove to be tricky for the Warriors to safely resolve.
Golden State knows they can succeed with its veteran star core, reaching the West Semis before an injury to Curry ended their hopes. However, improving the overall depth of the team will be crucial as they aspire for a title run next season.
