The Golden State Warriors quietly had one of the best offseason in the whole league. While Minnesota and Cleveland got all the headlines, the Dubs managed to keep all their major pieces and minor pieces. They were able to retain Zaza Pachulia, Andrew Iguodala, Shaun Livingston, Javale McGee, David West, and most importantly Kevin Durant.
Not only did they resign Durant, but he willingly gave up 9 million dollars in order to help keep the team together. The money was used primarily to get Iguodala to stay, who provided key minutes defensively guarding LeBron in the Finals.
Their big four of Curry, Thompson, Durant, and Green is still the best core in the league. The Warriors, who went 15-1 in the Playoffs, are miles ahead of everyone else causing teams to rethink how they approach the offseason. As of right now their starting five remains: Curry, Thompson, Durant, Green, and Pachulia. So while the Cavs are struggling to keep their pieces, the Dubs watch as the heavy favorites to win next year.
