The Golden State Warriors experienced a significant change this offseason when Klay Thompson departed to join the Dallas Mavericks. This move marked the end of the iconic “Splash Brothers” duo, as Stephen Curry lost his longtime teammate with whom he won four NBA championships for Golden State.
While Draymond Green remains on the roster to support Curry, the team has been exploring ways to add more star power. During the offseason, the Warriors attempted to acquire both Paul George from the Philadelphia 76ers and Lauri Markkanen from the Utah Jazz. However, neither move materialized.
ESPN’s Shams Charania recently shared insights into the Warriors’ plans on NBA Today. Charania revealed that the Warriors are actively seeking a star to pair alongside Curry.
“The Warriors are on the real hunt for a star—a playmaker, a scorer—alongside Stephen Curry. This summer, they pursued Lauri Markkanen of the Utah Jazz, and they made a pitch to Paul George with the Clippers,” Charania said.
“The debate with the Warriors and the teams who look into their situation is if they are going to find it outside the roster or if it will be in-house with a player like Jonathan Kuminga,” he added.
