Although the Golden State Warriors were only able to secure themselves the Western Conference’s sixth-seed during the 2013-14 season, they still hammered out an impressive 51-31 record.

With a relatively young team, there is still room for improvement though the loss of head coach Mark Jackson could be an issue.
The Golden State Warriors roster loved playing under the New York native though ownership wasn’t exactly enamored with his unique coaching style and at times brash personality. That resulted in Jackson’s ousting at season end only to be replaced by Steve Kerr.
While Kerr has experience in an NBA front office and as a player, he’s never coached at a high level and there’s concern the lack of chemistry could be a problem for the Warriors this year according to Basketball Insiders.
"Kerr has no head coaching experience but Warriors’ officials deem him to be a better fit for their strategic vision. But here’s what else we know: The Warriors players had a very strong chemistry built with Jackson and most would run through a brick wall for him.Chemistry is an underrated aspect of today’s NBA. The players loved Jackson. Ownership wasn’t as enamored. Leadership is fully onboard with Kerr, but will the players now follow suit?"
A head coaching change isn’t the only notable offseason storyline surrounding the Golden State Warriors as they of course were heavily involved in trade rumors for Kevin Love, allegedly offering up both David Lee and Klay Thompson. Neither is said to be thrilled with the sentiment and it remains to be seen how it will impact their play during the upcoming season, if at all.
