Golden State Warriors off-season reinforcement plan was exposed by US media, center and defender are the key points

After the Golden State Warriors were eliminated in the Western Conference semi-finals in 2024-25, some lineup fluctuations will inevitably occur in the 2025 offseason. There is no way, the team has exposed too many problems in the playoffs. What they can do is to make some targeted reinforcements in the trading market in 2025.

N, ESPN's Shams Charania also shared some opinions on strengthening the Warriors' off-season lineup. Shams Charania said: "The source told me that over the past few hours, the Warriors will be very active in the market to continue reorganizing around their Big Three Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler." Shams Charania continued: "I was told that their first priority is to find a wing guard or center that organizes the offense. This will largely depend on who Steve Cole and the Big Three think will help the team and fit their culture and identity." The Golden State Warriors lost to the Timberwolves in the second round of the 2024-25 playoffs, with two main factors. The first is that Stephen Curry was injured, resulting in the lack of an excellent offensive defender, so they need a playback-organizing offensive defender as a substitute for Stephen Curry. Boger and Moses Moody are not stable, so the Golden State Warriors need a veteran defender with good experience, who can average about 10 points per game, and they also have to defend well.

and the center, the Golden State Warriors' inside line was pressed on the floor by the Timberwolves, and their inside line was more vulnerable than the Lakers' inside line. The violent style of play of Draymond Green and Kevin Rooney is no longer guaranteed by the league, so they need a center with a brand new style of play.

It is best to be a center who can organize offense, play well in low-post singles and defensive abilities. Brook Lopez is a good candidate for strengthening, but he is too old. Perhaps the Hornets’ Mark Williams and the Brooklyn Nets’ Clarkston, the Golden State Warriors can consider it.

To be honest, it was a bit bad that the Golden State Warriors traded to get Jimmy Butler's choice. Creating the Big Three of the Senior Group, mainly Jimmy Butler, Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, makes us think of the Big Three of the Sunset Red before the Lakers. In fact, the core players of the Golden State Warriors are younger and very competitive, but the core players are too old and easily injured, so it is difficult for them to go further in the playoffs.
