The Golden State Warriors swung and missed on just about every significant move they could have made this offseason and it leaves them in a difficult spot that Warriors fans likely aren't going to be happy about.

When the offseason began, it seemed clear that the Warriors were going to be aggressive about their pursuit of another superstar to join Steph Curry, Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler to try and accelerate their playoff chances, and they had several opportunities to do so. 

Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kawhi Leonard and LeBron James were all possible options the Warriors could have gone with. But they were never seriously mentioned as a team for Antetokounmpo, missed out on trading for Leonard despite being attached to him early on and while they fought valiantly to sign James, they just missed out on him. 

Without making any of those moves, the Warriors haven't done much of anything at all this offseason. Their most significant moves were extending Kristaps Porzingis and signing Al Horford and Draymond Green to new contracts, but beyond that the Warriors didn't do anything to bring in new blood in free agency. 

The only new player they brought in at all was their first-round pick Yaxel Lendeborg, whom they drafted specifically with the expectation that he can play right away as an older player. 

With all of this in mind, the Warriors have one of the oldest rosters in the league with four players over the age of 36 and they just had one of their worst regular seasons in recent memory. 

That's why a recent report from ESPN's Anthony Slater is so disheartening to hear of Warriors fans.

“[The Warriors are] just fine running back this kinda older 37-win core and understanding they’re not necessarily a part of the title conversation," Slater said (via NBA on ESPN).

Boiling Slater's report down, that essentially means the Warriors have given up on next season before it's even began and in the process, given up on likely one of the final years of Curry's career. 

The NBA has only gotten better in both conferences and the Warriors barely kept their head above water in the West last season. Standing still while the rest of the conference gets better isn't a strategy that's going to take the Warriors anywhere and their mindset at this point is essentially a white flag for the season barring some kind of miracle run. 

If the Warriors do want to capitalize on the last seasons of Curry's career, they need to act fast to change the team, but they've wasted most of this offseason. 

Keeping this mentality for the next few years won't take the Warriors anywhere and it would be all but a guarantee that the Warriors dynasty of the 2010s fades away into increasing obscurity.
