The Golden State Warriors are loaded with talent but continuing to keep the bench fresh is the key to continued success. Who do they look at in free agency?

Coming off of their third title in four years, the Warriors have some work to do this offseason. They’ll have their core locked up for at least one more season once Kevin Durant makes good on his word by declining his player option for next season to sign an extension, but outside of their four All-Stars, Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston, Golden State only has Damian Jones and Jordan Bell under contract for 2018-19.

From the team that won this season, Nick Young, Zaza Pachulia, David West, JaVale McGee, Kevon Looney and Patrick McCaw are all free agents this offseason. While some of them could return next season, the Warriors might turn to free agency to find replacements if West and Pachulia retire or teams in need of depth at the center position offer Looney and McGee better contracts than Golden State can.

With that in mind, let’s take a look at five free agents the Warriors should target this offseason, starting with one of the best 3-point shooters in the league.
