The Golden State Warriors' offseason has been one of long-overdue change. After years of festering discontent, which boiled over in a big way last season, Klay Thompson left. The Splash Brothers are now the Splash Brother. The front office has done an excellent job of filling out the roster around Stephen Curry, even targeting All-Star wings like Paul George and Lauri Markkanen. Absent an earth-shattering trade, however, it's unclear how high the Dubs can climb in a competitive Western Conference.
