The Warriors entered the 2023‑24 season with a 37‑45 record, missing the playoffs and coping with injuries to Stephen Curry and other key players. The front office outlined a multi‑year plan to free up cap space for the 2027 free‑agency market, where a pursuit of a superstar such as Nikola Jokic is envisioned. Achieving that space would require moving large contracts, including those of Curry and Jimmy Butler, a task complicated by Curry’s age, lingering knee issues, and the preference of potential free agents for a younger supporting cast.

The team has not ruled out activity at the upcoming trade deadline, and rumors have linked Curry to a possible deal with the San Antonio Spurs that would bring De'Aaron Fox, Devin Vassell, Keldon Johnson and future first‑round picks to Golden State. Curry is reportedly willing to sacrifice up to $40 million in a new contract to preserve flexibility. Meanwhile, the Warriors re‑signed Draymond Green to a one‑year, $27.7 million deal and declined a trade offer for Boston’s Jaylen Brown. They continue to monitor a potential Kevin Durant trade, though Durant has publicly opposed a move to Golden State. The organization remains focused on reshaping the roster through trades, cap‑space maneuvers, and securing Curry’s future while positioning itself for a 2027 free‑agency push.
