The Golden State Warriors have hoisted the championship trophy three times in the past four seasons, but without a doubt, there is always room for a franchise to improve year after year. The Warriors understand this, and its the reason why they’ve been one of the top-tier elite franchises the past few seasons.
Golden State prides itself on its depth, but they came into the 2018 season dead-set on a goal: to get younger with their bench. As they’ve witnessed the other 29 teams get better and become focused on dethroning the champs, the Warriors decided to let the likes of David West, JaVale McGee, Zaza Pachulia and others walk in order to give their younger role players valuable minutes to develop.
