Golden State Warriors season preview: Lineup, roster and prediction

The Golden State Warriors face low championship expectations ahead of the 2026-27 NBA season. Head coach Steve Kerr enters his 13th season leading a veteran roster that retained key core members Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Jimmy Butler instead of pursuing major upgrades.

After falling short in the Play-In Tournament in 2026, the team placed outside the top-20 in The Ringer's preseason power rankings. Meanwhile, Stephen Curry enters his 18th NBA season as Gary Payton II expressed optimism regarding the team's competitiveness.
