Over the past few days, the Golden State Warriors have been rounding out their roster. Al Horford, Gary Payton II, Will Richard and De’Anthony Melton have all committed to, or signed a contract with the franchise. Those additions will ensure the Warriors have depth and talent across the board and should give them a fighting chance of contending at or near the top of the Western Conference.
When speaking to the media on Monday, September 29, Stephen Curry shared his excitement over the Warriors’ latest additions and the team’s chances of being a legitimate threat heading into the new season.
“I think with this last little piece that needs to settle, I think I’m extremely happy with a different look,” Curry said. “We’re just trying to carry the momentum that we had from last year, understanding that getting through an 82-game season is the challenge for every team, but especially a veteran team. But the way that we finished [2024-25] and the record that we had, and obviously before I got hurt during the [2025 NBA playoffs] second round, we were a relevant threat, and I think we’ve gotten better.”
If the Warriors can stay healthy and they can find a resolution to Kuminga’s current standoff, they will undoubtedly be a threat in the upcoming season. Steve Kerr should use the early part of the season to find ways to manage his veteran stars’ minutes, too, especially as they will be needed at full strength during the postseason.
Nevertheless, the Warriors have a stronger roster than the one that began the 2024-25 campaign, and for that reason, there should be little doubt about their ability to make an impact on the Western Conference championship race.
