The Golden State Warriors have had a surprisingly quiet offseason, making only second-round draft selections in Will Richard and Alex Toohey. Many expected the team to aggressively pursue upgrades around their star trio of Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green. However, the Warriors are currently stalled, awaiting a decision on restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga. This delay has caused them to miss out on potential free agent targets like veteran center Al Horford and guard De'Anthony Melton, both of whom could significantly bolster their roster.

ESPN analyst Kevin Pelton assigned the Warriors an incomplete offseason grade, suggesting that their evaluation hinges on the Kuminga situation. Should they successfully sign Horford and Melton, it would mark a solid summer for a team looking to contend for another championship with an aging core. Missing out on these players would be detrimental, particularly as they aim to balance their championship aspirations with their team's evolving dynamics.
