For the past few years now, the general consensus has been that the Warriors need more than Kevon Looney at the center position. Looney, being the absolute best at what he does, silenced the fans that thought this and helped contribute to a championship. But now looking at this upcoming season, the question arises- Will Wiseman and Looney with the occasional help from Draymond be enough of a presence in the front court to sustain another year of winning basketball?
Read MoreWith the NBA free agency well underway — the Warriors have made some solid moves despite some salary cap issues.
After the front office were unable to extend offers to Portland Trailblazers guard Gary Payton II and Toronto Raptors forward Otto Porter Jr. — Warriors signed guard Donte Divincenzo and forward JaMychal Green as replacements.
Read MoreThe Warriors’ elusive search to fill their vacant 15th roster spot is still ongoing. The latest name who has received interest from Golden State? Former Warrior and two-time NBA champion, Quinn Cook.

Read MoreThe Warriors have had a busy off-season thus far. They drafted two players in the lottery, then got right to work in free agency. Even though they haven’t been flashy, the moves they have made thus far were gaudy enough to catch the attention of Las Vegas bettors, as they currently have the fourth-best pre-season odds to win the 2022 NBA championship, behind the Brooklyn Nets, LA Lakers, and Milwaukee Bucks.

Just a little over a week ago, Warriors GM Bob Myers mentioned the team’s need for a guard during media availability.
So it isn’t shocking that the Warriors are planning to work out retired, 34-year old point guard Darren Collison, according to a report from Yahoo Sports’ Chris Haynes.
Read MoreIt appears the Dubs might not be done just yet with their final roster spot still in the balance. The team had been loosely tied to veteran forward and former all-star Paul Millsap at the start of free agency, and although it appears those talks did not materialize, the team has not “closed the door” on signing Millsap, who played a good 20 minutes a game for the Nuggets last season, scoring a relatively-efficient 9 points per game on 34% from beyond the arc. Millsap was touted in his earlier days as a solid shooter and plus defender, even making the All-Defensive 2nd team in the 2015-2016 season.
