Warriors offseason primer: Is there one more title run left for Stephen Curry?

Treading water throughout 2023-24, and kicking off 2024-25 by losing franchise all-timer Klay Thompson to the Dallas Mavericks, it has been an uncomfortable period for the Warriors, who were not able to make the most of the last few years of Stephen Curry‘s brilliant career. It finally felt as though they had kicked on when they made their move at the past deadline, acquiring Jimmy Butler from the Miami Heat and tying him into a concurrent extension for the next two years. But that hope of competitiveness seems some way off, given their second-round loss in the 2025 NBA playoffs to the Minnesota Timberwolves, a series in which an injury to Curry proved terminal.

Often in these offseason preview pieces, we talk about the need for teams to choose “directions” and/or to commit to timelines. These metaphysical constructs are nonetheless foundational to roster building, and while they are fluid and prone to massive changes based on happenstance, there is little doubt about the Warriors’ timeline. They have Steph Curry for a little bit longer, and thus they are trying to win now. But they are not doing so.

In the upcoming offseason, then, the Warriors will seek to do more than just stop the gap widening, and take big chunks out of it. The Oklahoma City Thunder – young, defensively gifted, offensively potent, entirely dominant – are who the Warriors were a decade ago, and the path back to competitiveness is getting harder to see as the Thunder gallivant further off into the distance. But for as long as Curry can still do what he does – something he has shown no signs of stopping any time soon, postseason injury notwithstanding – there still is one. There is a spark in the fire. They do however need another couple of logs to throw on it.

With this in mind, here follows a look at the Golden State Warriors’ roster and spending options heading into the 2025 NBA offseason.
