Dario Saric announcement that he is leaving Golden state worrious now another significant issue for team……

The Golden State Warriors still have a lot of needs to address after the first 72 hours of free agency went by. The Warriors immediately went straight to business in re-signing four-time NBA champion Draymond Green to a four-year, $100 million contract. Green’s deal was the first reported signing as soon as the clock hit 6 PM ET last Friday

Golden State’s next signing came two nights later when the Warriors signed veteran guard Cory Joseph to a one-year minimum deal. Joseph became the third addition to the Warriors’ backcourt this offseason after they acquired future Hall of Fame point guard Chris Paul in a trade and drafted Brandin Podziemski with the 19th overall pick. The Warriors did well in replenishing its backcourt depth after it lost Donte DiVincenzo in free agency and Jordan Poole in the CP3 trade.

However, the Warriors have yet to address what seems to be a never-ending concern for this team annually: their lack of size. Of course, being in a Steve Kerr system, those big men need to have high basketball IQ. With that, the Warriors’ biggest need to address after the first weekend of NBA free agency is finding a high IQ big man.

The Warriors run a complex system where the big men play a vital role in playmaking, locating, and screening for cutters and shooters for wide-open looks all over the floor. They also need to be on the right spot at all times, so they would not disrupt the organized chaos that is the Warriors offense.

Sure, Golden State just took Trayce Jackson-Davis, a 6-foot-8 forward/center out of Indiana, near the end of the 2023 NBA Draft. But the Warriors still prefer to field out a solid veteran big man to pair with Draymond Green and Kevon Looney in the front court.
