2 best players Warriors must re-sign in 2024 NBA free agency.
Taking a look at two players who the Golden State Warriors need to consider re-signing for the 2024-25 NBA season.
The Golden State Warriors are entering an offseason of uncertainty. The last two seasons have proven that they are not title contenders as currently constructed. Perhaps that could signal that trades could be on the horizon in the Bay Area. If the Warriors do make some trades, that would put a bigger emphasis on retaining their players in free agency. There are at least two such members of their roster that qualify and Golden State should make sure they retain them.

Golden State’s biggest question to answer this offseason very well could be what they do with Klay Thompson. Thompson is not the franchise pillar that Steph Curry is but he is close. He’s been there from the beginning and has four championships and a number of big moments under his belt.
Thompson is also still a useful player. He isn’t the defensive ace he was in his prime but his frame allows him to defend multiple positions capably. Thompson is still one of the best shooters in the NBA. His shooting percentages (43.2% from the field and 38.7% from three) were about the same as his career percentages (45.3% and 41.3%). He continues to be a major threat in big moments with his jumper.
