Keeping The Band Together (If Possible)

The default for any championship team is to run it back. After all, you just crested the mountaintop on the backs of the squad you had; why not give them another chance to recreate the same magic? But circumstances sometimes lead to different outcomes, and for the Golden State Warriors this is precisely what occurred. Gone are Gary Payton II and Otto Porter Jr. and Nemanja Bjelica. Jettisoned are Damion Lee and Juan Toscano-Anderson. In their places are Donte DiVincenzo, JaMychal Green, and rookies Patrick Baldwin Jr. and Ryan Rollins. The circumstances in question that precipitated this? Finances, for the most part.
