The Golden State Warriors face a crucial offseason challenge after losing star guard Klay Thompson, who was persuaded by Kyrie Irving to join the Dallas Mavericks. To build a superteam around Steph Curry for the upcoming season, the Warriors need to bring in star power. Here are three potential targets for the Warriors this offseason.
Kevin Durant became an unrestricted free agent on July 1. As multiple title contenders are already eyeing him, the Warriors have a prime opportunity to bring Durant to Golden State.
Meanwhile, Warriors executive Jerry West recently had a phone conversation with Durant. What’s more, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Warriors players have been in communication with Durant throughout the season.
Brandon Ingram
Brandon Ingram is frequently mentioned in trade rumors, and for good reason. He is coming off a stellar season, averaging 20.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 5.7 assists. Ingram’s athleticism and scoring ability could fill the void left by Thompson, pairing effectively with Curry to maintain Golden State Warriors’s offensive firepower.
Eric Gordon

Eric Gordon will opt out of his contract with the Phoenix Suns, becoming an unrestricted free agent. Gordon is known for his offensive capabilities, and he could be a valuable addition to the Warriors. The former 2016-17 Sixth Man of the Year averaged 16.0 points, 2.8 assists, and 2.4 rebounds while shooting 37.1% from deep.
Golden State Warriors in Serious Talks to Acquire Buddy Hield from the 76ers
The Athletic’s Shams Charania has recently shared that the Golden State Warriors are reportedly in “serious talks” with the Philadelphia 76ers about a sign-and-trade deal involving Buddy Hield.
“The Golden State Warriors are in serious talks on a sign-and-trade deal to acquire Buddy Hield, league sources tell @TheAthletic@Stadium.

Hield has garnered attention for his three-point shooting prowess, making him a valuable addition to the Warriors’ roster. If the deal goes through, he could potentially fill the void left by Klay Thompson. He can also provide significant support for Stephen Curry in the upcoming season.
