\"Golden<\/p>\n

The\u00a0NBA<\/a>\u00a0offseason is right around the corner and while superstars\u00a0Giannis Antetokounmpo<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Kevin Durant<\/a>\u00a0are the headliners entering the summer due to trade rumors, there are also some key free agents for teams to sign.<\/p>\n

One team that could end up being extremely active in both free agency and the trade market this summer is the\u00a0Golden State Warriors<\/a>\u00a0after their second-round exit in the playoffs.<\/p>\n

Golden State looked like a contender during the second half of the season after they acquired\u00a0Jimmy Butler<\/a>\u00a0from the\u00a0Miami Heat<\/a>\u00a0to pair with\u00a0Stephen Curry<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Draymond Green<\/a>\u00a0but they are still a few pieces away from having a championship roster.<\/p>\n

While many have urged the Warriors to try and add another star this offseason like Giannis or upgrade their center position with either Naz Reid or Nikola Vucevic, one writer has urged them to take a chance on a former first overall pick.<\/p>\n
