Following the departure of Kevin Durant, Andre Iguodala, DeMarcus Cousins and Shaun Livingston, the Warriors are looking to reload around the core three of Green, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, as well D'Angelo Russell.
With all four now under contract for the foreseeable future, the Warriors can focus on putting the right pieces around them in order to contend for championships for the remainder of their primes.
