Logic has long held that what the Warriors need more than anything is a legitimate co-star for Curry. Depending on one's assessment of Kuminga's rise (the sustainability of it, in particular), you could argue that itch has been scratched internally.

Still, Kuminga is much more of a finisher than a shot-creator, so Golden State could use more off-the-bounce ability. It also needs players who can pressure opposing teams at the rim. The Warriors average just 33.9 paint points per 36 minutes, the third-lowest average in the league, per NBA.com.

According to the stat sheet, though, they need their biggest upgrades on the defensive end, where they sit just 23rd in efficiency. Now, it hasn't helped that Draymond Green has been in and out of the lineup due to suspension, or that Gary Payton II can't seem to shake the injury bug, but having those two players on a nightly basis wouldn't suddenly make the Dubs a defensive juggernaut.

What they need more than anything, though, is high-end talent and two-way contributors. The challenge is finding either with their limited trade budget.
