For years, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a> have struggled to dominate the glass when Kevon Looney isn’t on the floor. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/draymond-green" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Draymond Green</a> isn’t a big man, and they haven’t had a star in the position since Andrew Bogut.



With that in mind, some people around the league thought they were set to make a splash for a backup big man. But they signed Dario Saric, who’s not a traditional big, so their issues with size persist.



With that in mind, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports that they could rush rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis into the action, as he dominated on both ends of the glass at Indiana.



<h2>Warriors Rookie Could Have A Role Right Away</h2>



(Transcript via Anthony Slater – The Athletic)



“The Warriors still don’t have a traditional center backing up Kevon Looney. They at least explored the idea of signing Mason Plumlee and/or Alex Len in the early days of free agency, but both returned to their more comfortable locations. None of the current free agent centers appear to be moving the Warriors much.



Trayce Jackson-Davis is a name that gets forgotten in the frontcourt conversation. The Warriors gave the 2023 second-round pick two guaranteed seasons on a four-year deal. He isn’t a traditional center but does profile as a deep frontcourt backup behind Looney, Draymond Green and Šarić who fits the Warriors’ unique style of play. They believe Jackson-Davis will be ready for at least spot minutes sooner or later.”

Not many rookies thrive in championship-caliber teams, and the Dubs couldn’t afford to wait or develop James Wiseman. But Jackson-Davis spent four years in college, so he could be a plug-and-play guy in the Bay area.

The expectations around the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a> were through the roof ahead of the 2022-23 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a> season, since they were the reigning champions. But except for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a>, they left a lot to be desired compared to the previous season.



The Dubs struggled for consistency throughout the campaign, and even though they managed to make the playoffs, they were outplayed by LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers in the reach the Western Conference semifinals.



The team realized changes needed to be made, and not even Bob Myers’ departure stopped them. The Warriors made a lot of moves this offseason, and Curry suggested they have a much better roster than last year.



<h2>Stephen Curry says Warriors’ 2023-24 roster makes more sense than last year’s</h2>



“For us, it was about trying to make the pieces fit a little bit better to try to give us more versatility on both sides of the ball,” Curry said Thursday, via NBC Sports Bay area. “We understand our core is back, and adding CP, some other vets that will really help us to fill out the rotation and increase our depth.



“We’ve got two young guys who are in their third year, [Jonathan Kuminga] and Moses Moody, who will be huge, have huge opportunities to take another step in their career. That’s where we are. We feel like our team makes a lot more sense this year. It’s just a matter of going out and playing, letting the season unfold and understanding what we need to beat the best of the best in the West. There’s a lot of good teams, and we want to be one of them.”

The Warriors made a bold decision by trading Jordan Poole for Chris Paul, but Curry seems to support that move. While the team lost many role players, new rotational pieces have arrived and most of the roster spots have already been covered.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden State Warriors </a>went away from what they usually do. They landed one of their sworn enemies in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chris-paul" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chris Paul,</a> who’s still one of the most prominent playmakers in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a>.



There’s no denying that Paul has made every single team he’s played for even a little better. His style of play is pretty much opposite to what Steve Kerr has instilled in the team, but he’s good enough to figure things out.



And while most people would assume that he’d come off the bench and serve as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stephen Curry’s </a>backup, Sam Amick of The Athletic recently stated that he’s actually looking forward to playing alongside him in the first unit.



<h2>Chris Paul Wants To Start Alongside Stephen Curry</h2>



“When he pushed back against the idea that he would come off the bench for the Warriors this season during his introductory news conference in Vegas on Sunday, it’s safe to assume that he knew precisely what he was doing,“ Amick wrote. 



“Regardless of what comes next, it’s quite clear that Paul is holding out some hope that there’s a way for him to start (and no, people, not in replacement of Steph Curry and/or Klay Thompson, but with them in a small lineup),” he added.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a>‘ message this offseason has been clear: they want to get back to glory days. With <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a> at an incredible level, the front office has been doing whatever it could to keep a competitive team for the 2023-24 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a> season.



Bob Myers may no longer be at the team, but Mike Dunleavy wants to leave his mark in the Bay area as well. Shortly after being promoted, the general manager showed his aggressiveness by trading Jordan Poole for Chris Paul.

On top of that, the Dubs re-signed Draymond Green for a few more years. Everyone knows that Father Time will eventually catch up with their stars, so the goal is to not waste any more second. Even Curry himself admitted that’s the mindset in San Francisco right now.



<h2>Stephen Curry says Warriors are determined to win next year</h2>



“The biggest thing is, everybody comes to camp with the right mindset of just trying to win — we’ve got to talk it, live it out and understand the time frame of our careers. Nobody’s got time to waste in terms of any energy other than trying to win,” Curry told Ron Kroichick of the San Francisco Chronicle.



“That’s always been my wish and hope, that we had a team with all the right pieces that really fit. We’ve had years where we had the most talent and years where we had the deepest team … so trying to win [now] is important knowing where we are in our careers.”

The 2022-23 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a> season is part of the past and many teams in the West are already looking to dethrone Denver next year. While the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-clippers">Los Angeles Clippers</a> seem to bet on their current talent to do so, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a> have been making moves to help <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a>.



The Dubs shocked everyone by trading Jordan Poole to the Washington Wizards for Chris Paul, before tying Draymond Green to a massive extension and making a few more signings in the open market.



While now things are quieter in the Bay area, it’s not a secret that the front office was busy in the last few weeks trying to improve around Steph. In fact, they reportedly targeted a Houston Rockets player who eventually joined the Clippers.



<h2>Rumor: Warriors monitored KJ Martin</h2>



According to Anthony Slater of The Athletic, the Golden State Warriors considered making a move for Kenyon Martin Jr. before the Houston Rockets traded him to the Los Angeles Clippers:



“The Warriors explored the idea of trading for KJ Martin early in the free agency process, league and team sources told The Athletic. The Rockets were rearranging their roster and made the athletic young wing available via trade. The Warriors could have fit him on the roster through the trade exception created when Patrick Baldwin Jr. was sent to Washington, but discussions never reached the final stages.”

" title="Warriors sign former NBA champion as Stephen Curry backup" publication_id="BUS#20230704#BUS#22667"></div>


The forward was entering the final season of his four-year, $6.1 million contract, which is why Houston was expected to move him at some point this offseason. Either way, the Warriors still managed to improve their roster and now have only two empty spots.

NBA Rumors: Warriors had a Clippers player on their radar to help Stephen Curry - Bolavip US

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a> is still capable of playing at an incredibly high level, so the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a> cannot waste any more second. The front office is aware of that, which is why it’s been making significant moves ahead of the 2023-24 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a> season.



One of Mike Dunleavy’s first decisions as general manager has been to trade Jordan Poole for Chris Paul, making it clear the Dubs want to win now. Besides, the team was able to re-sign Draymond Green, keeping the core that led them to multiple championships in recent years.



However, many rotational players are gone, and there are a few spots still uncovered. That’s why the Warriors are expected to make a few more signings before the new season, but we may have to wait for it.



<h2>Rumor: Warriors may not fill empty roster spots before training camp</h2>



The Warriors currently have 13 players under contract, which means they have two empty spots to fill the roster plus two open spots for two-way contracts. But according to Anthony Slater of The Athletic, the Warriors won’t sign more players before training camp:



“The remaining market is pretty dry. The Warriors are likely to take a patient wait-and-see approach before committing a guaranteed contract to somebody in that 14th slot, team sources indicated to The Athletic. If nothing appealing enough materializes before October, team sources indicate that the Warriors are comfortable putting their 14th spot up for grabs in a training camp competition among non-guaranteed candidates.”

The biggest names are no longer available, and those who are still in the open market don’t seem to be so attractive for the Warriors. Therefore, we’ll probably have to wait to know Curry’s new teammates next season.

“To be fair, I think this team ultimately maxed out. We were barely in the playoff picture most of this year.&nbsp;This is not a championship team.

It’s important to remember that Gay is currently under contract with the Oklahoma City Thunder, but, many experts point out that he could be available in the next weeks.

The main factors could be Gay is 36-years old and especially the number of players at the Thunder depth chart. It seems very probable they’ll need to cut some names before the start of the season and a buyout might be the chance for the Warriors to jump in.

For some teams, such as the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a>, finding a player to fill the 14th spot on the roster has become a nightmare. Others have found it easier to sign a veteran or other little-known player.



However, the Golden State Warriors can’t just sign any player. They must look to free agents and other players to fill a spot that could be bench-breaking during the regular season.

So far, the team is solid with their veteran starters, and they now have <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chris-paul">Chris Paul</a>, who will likely become a key player for the franchise in the upcoming 2-3 seasons. However, it’s still unclear if he will be a starter.



<h2>What options do the Warriors have for the 14th spot?</h2>



According to a recent article in The Athletic by Anthony Slater, the Warriors are doing all due diligence to find the player to fill the 14th spot. However, if they can’t find a player, their last option will be a training camp competition.



In the article, Slater cites team sources that said: “They went into free agency intent on settling two needs: an extra veteran hand in the backcourt and a reliable frontcourt option who could pass and shoot it. Cory Joseph and Šarić checked those boxes. The remaining market is pretty dry.”



The second option for the Warriors is not new. According to Slater, “…team sources indicate that the Warriors are comfortable putting their 14th spot up for grabs in a training camp competition among non-guaranteed candidates. It’s what they did with their two-way spots last October…”



NBA rules require that all teams must have 14 players on their roster before the first game of the season. After two weeks, teams can reduce their roster to 12 or fewer players.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a> has seen many changes at the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a> this offseason. While the team kept the core that led them to multiple <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a> championships, it also lost a number of members.



With Bob Myers gone after 12 years, Mike Dunleavy made significant moves as soon as he got promoted to general manager. Of course, the decision to trade Jordan Poole for Chris Paul continues to make noise in San Francisco.

The roster will also look different this year due to the number of role players that left in free agency, but even the Warriors’ front office suffered departures ahead of the 2023-24 NBA season.



<h2>Nick U’Ren leaving Warriors for Phoenix Mercury</h2>



Phoenix Mercury of the WNBA announced former Golden State Warriors senior basketball executive Nick U’Ren as their new general manager. Apart from Myers, the Dubs also lost Shaun Livingston this offseason.



This shows how things are changing at the Warriors, not only on the roster, but within the entire organization. But then again, the core that delivered multiple rings is still there and that’s what matters.

The Dubs managed to keep a competitive team around Curry by re-signing Draymond Green while landing Chris Paul. Additionally, they added some interesting depth pieces.

NBA News: Stephen Curry's Warriors officially lose another member - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a> kept their core, but they still made a lot of changes ahead of the 2023-24 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a> season. While they still have <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a>, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, there were plenty of moves within the organization regardless.



To begin with, longtime general manager Bob Myers left after 12 memorable years, and Mike Dunleavy Jr. immediately made big calls after being promoted, including the Chris Paul trade.



But the Dubs also lost many rotational players, something that forced them to make a few additions in the free agency. In fact, the new GM suggested the Warriors haven’t retired from the market yet.



<h2>Mike Dunleavy says Warriors could land another big man</h2>



“If there’s like five open spots, and we fill three or four of them, yeah, I think we’re going to add somebody with some size,” Dunleavy said, via Anthony Slater of The Athletic. “We gotta be careful with the way we play… just bringing in somebody who is tall, you gotta be skilled. You gotta have feel, you gotta know how to play.”

The Warriors are clearly not making signings just to fill spots. They want to make sure those who don their uniform meet the team’s standards, which make sense since they have to surround Curry the best way they can.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a> initially thought <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jordan-poole" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jordan Poole</a> could be <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stephen Curry’s</a> heir and successor. But it didn’t take long before they realized that signing him to a contract extension had been a mistake.



Reports state that all the money got to his head, and he started handling himself a little differently. He refused to be held accountable, took public shots at his coach, and even snubbed his veterans when they reached out to him.



Of course, one may think that it was his altercation with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/draymond-green" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Draymond Green</a> that led to this. However, a report by Jason Dumas states that it was actually Steve Kerr the one who wanted him out.



<h2>Steve Kerr Wanted The Warriors To Trade Jordan Poole</h2>



“I honestly think the relationship between him (Jordan Poole) and Steve was more of what got him traded than the relationship with him and Draymond Green,” Dumas reported. “I just think Steve was kind of fed up with the fact that Jordan was kind of huffing and puffing that he wasn’t in the right role for him”.



“I think that had more to do with him being moved than that punch,” Dumas added. “That punch didn’t help and his and Draymond’s relationship wasn’t great. But I think Steve was more fed up than anything”.



Kerr has gone the extra mile to develop a winning culture and a team-first mentality in the Bay area, and Poole clearly had different thoughts in mind, which is why he’s no longer there.

It was a big blow to the Warriors’ future, and they’ll miss his scoring punch off the bench. But winning teams do what winning teams do, and they can’t afford to have someone with an attitude in the locker room.

But the fact that they swapped him for Chris Paul — who had been a bit of a sworn enemy for the Warriors for over a decade — was, to say the least, a major surprise.



That’s obviously tied to his rivalry with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stephen Curry </a>and the different styles of play here. But according to the four-time NBA champion, there’s nothing but excitement to work alongside him.



<h2>Stephen Curry Is Excited To Play With Chris Paul</h2>



“I mean, I’m super excited in terms of, you know our history, competing against CP over the years,” Curry told ESPN. “He’s an unbelievable talent, one of the best point guards to ever play this game. It’s well understood every team that he’s been on, has been elevated, and obviously, we’ve won championships; we’re trying to get back to that level, and to add a guy like that knows how to run an offense, that is pretty versatile in terms of what he can do.”



“I know everybody gonna talk about our age and all that, but it’s just about trying to put the pieces together with a lot of high IQ guys that know how to play basketball,” continued Steph. “So, excited about the opportunity; it’s kind of surreal knowing all the things that we’ve been through, but that’s how the league works, and we’re going to make the most of this opportunity moving forward.”

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chris-paul">Chris Paul</a> knows that he will have to go through an adaptation process with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a>. They are typically one of the most lethal teams in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a>, and therefore the offense and defense must be aligned under the same style.



However, it is not the first time that Chris Paul has had to readjust to a franchise. After playing multiple seasons for New Orleans, he had to become a different type of player with the Los Angeles Clippers, Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/phoenix-suns">Phoenix Suns</a>.



On the other hand, the Warriors have a unique style that they have been leveraging for years. The best jump shooters in the league, Klay Thompson and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Steph Curry</a>, constantly exploit the weaknesses of other teams, not only to score points but also to be good defenders.



<h2>What did Chris Paul say about the Golden State Warriors’ style?</h2>



Chris Paul was recently answering questions about what his future will be with the Golden State Warriors. He talked about various things, such as his new teammates and the playing style of the franchise. When asked about meshing into the Warriors’ style, he said, “Luckily it’s basketball, and I know a little bit about the game.”

Some critics have pointed out that Chris Paul is on his ‘last legs,’ meaning that he is in his last good years and that he will likely become a top bench player for some franchise at some point. Other analysts believe that Paul could play 20-30 minutes per game with the Warriors during the upcoming season.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chris-paul">Chris Paul</a> had a good season with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/phoenix-suns">Phoenix Suns</a>, and people expected him to play another season with that franchise.

However, the Golden State Warriors have enough experience to make it to the finals with or without Chris Paul, and it is unlikely that the franchise would be willing to bench one of the veterans, Thompson, Green, or <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Curry</a> so that Paul could start.



During his time with the Phoenix Suns, he started 194 games, making it the third team during his career where Paul has started more games. However, in Phoenix, things were not good for him. In three seasons, Paul averaged less than 17 points per game (16.4, 14.7, 13.9).



<h2>What did Chris Paul say when asked if he would be willing to come off the bench for the Warriors?</h2>



Chris Paul recently answered a few questions about his future with the Golden State Warriors. One of those questions was whether he would be willing to come off the bench. Paul responded by saying, “Uhhh, you coaching?”



<figure class="aligncenter size-full wp-block-image"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="543" height="375" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/28112113/marcus-thompshon-question-543x375.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-26426" sizes="(max-width: 543px) 100vw, 543px"></figure></div></figure>



This short and direct response from Chris Paul indicates that he would be willing to play as decided by the Warriors’ coaching staff, whether as a starter or coming off the bench. If he comes off the bench, it would be the first time in his career.
