The state of the 2023-24 Warriors roster and tradable assets

Just the basic facts, can you show me where it hurts?

This piece is to collect the basic facts about the roster: who’s coming back, what picks can be traded. I’ll try to keep this updated as more information rolls in.

The state of the roster

Under contract for 2023-24

• PG. Stephen Curry, Jordan Poole, Ryan Rollins

• SG. Klay Thompson, Moses Moody

• SF. Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga

• PF. Kevon Looney, Patrick Baldwin Jr.

• C. Gary Payton II (!?)

Uncertain return

• Draymond Green, free agent with player option to return for $27.6m

• Anthony Lamb, free agent

• Ty Jerome (TW)

  • cut from playoff roster

  • might be redundant with Ryan Rollins

• Lester Quinones (TW)

Probably gone

• Donte DiVincenzo, free agent with player option 6/29/23

  • will surely decline player option $4.7m

  • By the old rules, GSW can only offer him a Non-Bird re-signing of a 20% raise to $5.64m/yr or use a mid-level exception.

  • By the new rules, apparently the Warriors are over the super-apron and will have NO cap exceptions.

• JaMychal Green, free agent

  • can probably get a bigger role elsewhere

• Andre Iguodala, free agent

  • old, has a venture capital career going

First Round Picks

• 2023 - Own

  • Can only trade if they get a 1st round pick back in 2023 or 2024, since they may not have 2024 or 2025 picks, by Ted Stepian Rule

  • Could do some fancy trade by picking for an another team with understanding of a future trade, but these invite great uncertainty.

• 2024 - 1-4 Own; 5-30 to MEM

• 2025 - 1 Own; 2-30 to MEM if not already settled

• 2026 - To MEM if not already settled

• 2027 - Own

  • These are the first 1st round picks GSW could trade. However, depending on the new CBA and how far GSW is over the cap, they might be disallowed from trading this far in the future.

• 2028 - Own

• 2029 - Own

Second Round Picks

• 2023 - To CLE (via NOP to UTH to CLE to DET)

• 2024 - 31-55 to HOU (via ATL); 56-60 to CLE (via ATL to HOU)

• 2025 - More favorable of GOS and WAS to DET then other to WAS (via DET swap of GOS for WAS (via BRK)); CHA 56-60

• 2026 - To ATL; ATL

• 2027 - Own

• 2028 - To POR; ATL

• 2029 - Own

Trade Machines and other references

• FanSpo is the best cap-aware trade machine that I’ve found.

• I use Basketball-Reference for salary and transaction information. Sometimes I check out Spotrac because the contract tables look cool, but often it’s more confusing than helpful.

• In addition to Basketball Reference, Cleaning The Glass, Bball Index, Dunks and Threes are interesting sites to get quick scouting reports of a player.

• I go to RealGM for a tidy look at team draft picks.
