The Golden State Warriors could use more versatile players with elite athleticism to get his team back on the winning basketball path. Right now Golden State seems to be confined to having plenty of scorers but not enough playmakers or defensive ability. If the Warriors are to improve, they need to upgrade at multiple positions and particularly at the forward spots.
