What happened: Golden State moves into the rest of its offseason after not landing a marquee addition, per Anthony Slater. The team is still expected to bring back Draymond Green, who opted out of his $27.7 million option in June. Three other roster spots remain to be filled with a limited budget.

Why it matters: The Warriors were never seriously in the mix for a top-tier addition this summer, and a separate report has already ruled out an Anthony Davis trade materializing. That leaves Golden State leaning on continuity, with Green's return the anchor of an otherwise unchanged core heading into 2026-27.

What to watch: Watch for Golden State to finalize the Green reunion and address its remaining roster spots as free agency progresses.
