Outlook
The Warriors don't need as much improvement as some may think but they do need a reliable big man that can spread the floor. The Warriors get very creative with their free agents by trading Kuminga and convincing Looney to both do sign and trades. By doing this they address their big man issue and acquiring KP and leaving enough cap flexibility to bring back Boucher with their MLE. They bring in one of the most underrated rookies this year as well as bringing in Steph's brother to help booster their bench. Bringing back some reliable effort guys on minimums is ideal as well. They also add Otega Oweh, Kevin Knox, Sandro Mamukelashvili on 2 way deals. Leaving the Warriors with 14 rostered players and just under $1,968,008 the 2nd apron.
