The Warriors already landed Chris Paul but they’ll need to land a few more steals in free agency to chase another title next season.

The Golden State Warriors are going into a very interesting offseason after losing in the second round of the playoffs. The team already made a major move in dumping Jordan Poole for Chris Paul to get off the player’s contract.

One of the team’s best players in the history of their franchise will end up being a free agent this season after the team failed to reach an extension. The team has clearly chosen the win-now timeline when they traded Poole but is it too little, too late for the Warriors?

Most important targets for the Warriors: 3. Andre Drummond

If Andre Drummond ends up declining his player option, the Warriors would be a perfect fit for the big man. He declined in play this season but he could fit with this team very well due to the fact that the team is looking for a rebounder and the team has a lot of spacing already.

The biggest weakness of Drummond’s game is the fact that he is unable to score outside the paint. But the Warriors are missing a rebounder and it has been one of their biggest weaknesses for the last couple of years.  He would be a bit costly but if they can find a number that makes it work he’s a great backup option who can crash the glass and battle in the paint on certain matchups.
