Curry surfaces as the prototype for modern guards who generate offense through elite three-point shooting and off-ball movement. Cuban emphasizes the era’s shift toward versatile offenses and how Curry’s efficiency shapes fantasy value across matchups and DFS slates.

Warriors are in a holding pattern while Kuminga’s fate and Beasley-related implications loom. Signings like Horford, Melton, Payton II, or Richard hinge on roster moves and tax considerations, with Brogdon as a potential depth add once the cap picture clears.

Payton II is viewed as a potential depth option for Warriors signings, bringing defensive tenacity and quick ball movement. His role would hinge on Warren-level roster clarity, but in the right scenario, he could contribute solid steals, boards, and efficient scoring in limited minutes.

Kuminga’s status shapes Golden State’s spending and future signings. A stalemate over his contract could keep cap space tight, delaying moves for Horford, Melton, Payton II, and Richard. His fate is pivotal to whether the Warriors pursue veteran depth or maintain a lean lineup, influencing both roster construction and fantasy upside for the backcourt and wing rotations.

Warriors sit on a 48-34 projection, hinging on Curry-Butler Green health and Kuminga’s development amid Kuminga’s free-agent drama. The plan relies on a mix of aging veterans and a still-elite core, with Horford, Melton, and Payton II potentially joining. If Curry and company stay healthy, GS may exceed last season’s wins and maintain a top-tier ceiling.
