Despite the NBA season kicking off soon, the Warriors appear entangled in Kuminga’s contract dilemma. Luckily, this issue should be resolved within a week, and Kuminga is likely to agree to a qualifying offer from the Warriors. After resolving Kuminga’s contract, the team will have four signings ready for official confirmation.

These four signings include acquiring Horford, Melton, re-signing Payton, and signing Seth Curry.
After Kuminga’s contract matters are finalized, these four signings will be officially confirmed, solidifying the Warriors’ roster for next season. Securing these players will visibly enhance the team. Horford will significantly boost the Warriors’ interior strength, giving them a legitimate three-point shooting big man. Re-signing Payton will provide a defensive anchor on the perimeter, easing the defensive burden on Curry. Coach Kerr will also have another player capable of guarding the opposing team’s primary point guard on the court.

Melton played for the Warriors last season but unfortunately suffered an injury. In the games he appeared, Melton performed exceptionally well, and Kerr trusted him enough to put him in the starting lineup. Melton is not only capable of creating his own offense but is also an outstanding defender. His presence will notably reduce the defensive pressure on Butler.

Seth Curry is a player with a very distinct skill set, especially known for his excellent shooting ability. With Seth Curry on the roster, the Warriors’ floor spacing will improve significantly, creating more open space on the perimeter. Additionally, playing alongside his brother might further motivate him to perform even better. His playing style fits perfectly within the Warriors’ system.
Therefore, after these reinforcements, the Warriors’ strength will see a substantial boost. They could become one of the leading contenders for the championship next season. It’s worth noting that in the latter half of last season, after Butler joined, the Warriors had the second-best record in the league, which is a source of pride for the team. This also explains Curry’s strong confidence; he believes that with Butler on board for a full season, the Warriors can compete at the highest level against many top teams.
