As the Golden State Warriors enter the 2024-25 NBA season, the team finds itself in a new chapter following Klay Thompson’s departure to the Dallas Mavericks. While the roster looks drastically different, the Warriors remain anchored by franchise icons Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, joined by key newcomers Buddy Hield, Kyle Anderson, and De’Anthony Melton. The big question on everyone’s mind: can the Warriors still contend for an NBA championship?
Stephen Curry continues to be the face of the franchise, leading the Warriors into the post-Klay era. Coming off an impressive 2023-24 season where he averaged 26.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per game, Curry’s elite shooting (40.8% from three) and leadership remain pivotal. Fresh off a stellar Olympic debut in Paris, the two-time MVP and four-time NBA champion will carry much of the offensive load. Curry’s ability to create scoring opportunities, both on and off the ball, will dictate the Warriors’ success this season. However, with Klay gone, he’ll need significant help from the supporting cast.
