The Golden State Warriors have built a starting lineup that can compete with any team in the NBA in a postseason setting. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green have won four titles over the past 11 seasons, and Jimmy Butler led the Miami Heat to two NBA Finals appearances between 2020 and 2023.
The unfortunate truth hanging over Golden State's head, however, is that the star trio may not be built for the regular season—and that's where Brandin Podziemski comes in.
Butler is a five-time All-NBA and five-time All-Defense honoree, but he's appeared in at least 60 games just three times since 2017.
