If there was one thing the Golden State Warriors weren’t this offseason, it was frugal. This team was spending money left and right, re-signing Klay Thompson and extending Draymond Green. They even added a fourth max-value contract with D’Angelo Russell’s four-year deal.
Aside from those three and Curry’s supermax, all four of which have missed this season and two of who will miss three-plus months, the Warriors are paper thin. Even at full strength, depth was going to be a notable issue for this team.
Now, as injured as they are, they’ll need a player to step up and help D’Angelo Russell, who recently dropped a career-high 52 points against the Timberwolves.
