The 2025-26 NBA season promises to be a turning point for the Golden State Warriors, with Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler entering their first full season together. Their partnership has already shown potential, as they led the team to the Western Conference Semifinals last season. However, a hamstring injury sidelined Curry and contributed to the Warriors' elimination by the Minnesota Timberwolves.

After acquiring Butler from the Miami Heat, the Warriors transformed their record from 25-26 to 48-34, demonstrating a significant turnaround. Butler's integration with the Warriors has been smoother than skeptics predicted, as he has embraced his role alongside Curry and Draymond Green. Their shared excitement for the upcoming season reflects a renewed sense of hope for the franchise.
