In 2026, the Golden State Warriors have had a relatively quiet offseason. The team has approached the summer with the intention of signing back key veterans that helped them land in the Play-In Tournament this past season. 

The Warriors brought back the likes of Al Horford, Kristaps Porzingis, and Draymond Green, and they also drafted Michigan forward Yaxel Lendeborg with the 11th overall pick in the draft. 

While fans have raised their concerns about how serious the franchise is to compete while having Steph Curry on the roster, General Manager Mike Dunleavy re-assured fans that he is actively looking for ways to improve Curry's supporting cast. 

Dunleavy claims the front office has been "super aggressive" with the intention to bring in pieces to help out Curry and the Warriors, yet nothing has come about. Golden State's most notable free agent moves were bringing back players in-house. 

He also raved about the amount of assets Golden State has on their hands, and how he believes he has enough to make enticing offers to other teams for their players. 

One big hole on this Warriors depth chart going into 2026 is the shooting guard and small forward positions. Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody may be unavailable to start the season, and the Warriors did not make any notable moves to replace their production. 

Golden State is also suffering from a lack of dynamism and scoring on the offensive side of the ball. The player who is projected to start at the shooting guard spot is Brandin Podziemski, who has had his moments where he is a formidable scorer during his tenure with the Warriors, but he's also shown his inconsistencies. 

There were multiple guards that were available to them in free agency, but the franchise decided to look elsewhere and made sure to try and develop in-house talent. 

The forward spots are solidified with Horford and Porzingis returning, but with age being a concern, the hope is that the frontcourt depth is good enough to be serviceable if one of them becomes unavailable. 

When the Warriors play at full strength this season, a lot of those holes will be fixed, but until the franchise invests in external talent to raise the ceiling of this team, they may have a tough time trying to create a dynamic attack on offense. 

The Western Conference is filled with high powered offenses, and Golden State may need more help to reach that status.
