2. Expect the Warriors to let Anthony Lamb walk

Golden State forward Anthony Lamb played a valuable role in the regular season, but come the playoffs, he was phased out of the Dubs rotation. There’s little reason a new regime should keep him around as a looming unrestricted free agent, as well, considering his off-court issues. FanSided’s Ian Levy laid out Lamb’s many problems after the Warriors season ended:

"“Lamb was one of the biggest surprises of the Warriors’ season, helping fill injury-related absences, stealing minutes from Moses Moody, appearing in 62 games and averaging 12.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.9 assists per 36 minutes while shooting 36.7 percent from the floor. He was reliable as a 3-and-D contributor but completely disappeared from the playoff rotation. With an expiring contract, no apparent playoff utility and the lingering shadow of a Title IX lawsuit against the University of Vermont that includes rape accusations against him, the Warriors will likely let him move on.”"

Whenever a new general manager takes over, Lamb could easily be their first big decision. Yes, he filled in nicely and stole minutes from Moody. But Moody himself is a nice young piece on Steve Kerr’s bench. Why not stick with him, instead?
