The Golden State Warriors need a roster shakeup after missing the playoffs despite having Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green without injuries.
It has become increasingly clear that the Golden State Warriors need to make major changes to their roster in order to re-enter championship contention. With the current NBA landscape, those changes will almost certainly have to include the addition of another certified star next to Steph Curry.
Adding a certified star alongside Curry is crucial to re-enter championship contention with the current NBA landscape. Giannis Antetokounmpo, reported as the Warriors’ dream addition, might be a possibility after the Milwaukee Bucks’ first-round exit.
Antetokounmpo did not play in any of Milwaukee’s playoff games, as a calf injury held him out for the entirety of the series. Although there’s no indication of a rebuild or Antetokounmpo’s desire to leave, the Warriors may still inquire about his availability the same way they checked in with the Los Angeles Lakers about the availability of LeBron James at the trade deadline.
With Curry still a high-level star, pairing him with another elite player could be the key to success, especially as Thompson and Green move further from their All-Star days. The Warriors will likely explore options this summer, and Antetokounmpo could be a target.
