One NBA writer has listed three potential targets for the Golden State Warriors to pursue this offseason.
Greg Swartz of Bleacher Report believes the Warriors need “affordable depth,” which is why he listed small forward Jeff Green, power forward Kevin Love and point guard George Hill.
“Changes in the new CBA are designed to help prevent teams from making a mockery of the luxury tax, which is precisely what these Warriors are doing,” Swartz wrote. “A’s Bleacher Report’s Eric Pincus writes, ‘The Warriors’ $213.2 million projected salary (assuming Draymond Green opts in) will come with a $254.6 million penalty. The team won’t have the taxpayer mid-level exception, which was used last year to bring on Donte DiVincenzo.’
“Golden State will need to search for additional help who will agree to play for the veteran’s minimum, selling players on the chance to win a championship instead of cashing in elsewhere. This means vets who are nearing the end of their careers but can still play postseason minutes when called upon. Players like Green, Love and Hill would all fit this bill, if they’re willing to take a pay cut, of course.”

The Warriors lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2023 Western Conference Semifinals in six games. It will be interesting to see how the front office improves the roster around superstar point guard Stephen Curry this offseason. The team certainly has areas to improve after regressing this season.
