As for the Warriors, they are coming off a season where they were the tenth seed in the Western Conference with a 46-36 record.

They lost to De'Aaron Fox and the Sacramento Kings in the play-in tournament, so they missed the NBA playoffs for the third time in the previous five seasons.

That said, the Warriors still have Steph Curry and Draymond Green.
