The Golden State Warriors have had a rough couple of seasons. This is mainly because of injury to their biggest stars. Klay Thompson has been out since the finals against the Toronto Raptors. With him returning this season, the Warriors look like a competing team once again.
Their biggest move was Stephen Curry signing his contract extension. He almost took them to the playoffs last season as he averaged 32 points per game. With his splash brother now returning, havoc is now assured. Warriors will look to make a deep run in the playoffs, and maybe even get to the NBA finals this season.
Let us look at the new Golden State Warriors roster for the 2021-22 season.

Incoming players
- Andre Iguodala
Their biggest signing this season would be Iggy. The 37 YO is returning to the Bay, where he won multiple championships. He was the final’s MVP in their first triumph. The NBA veteran played for the Miami Heat last season. He will come off the bench for the Golden State Warriors and hope to make his impact on both ends of the floor.
- Nemanja Bjelica
Their other acquisition from the Heat was Bjelica. He did not get the play time that he wanted in Miami. In the regular season, he averaged 6.5 points and 3 rebounds in 16 minutes. However, he played only 37 games. Bjelica will also take a bench role while with the Bay.
- Jonathan Kuminga
The Warriors had great draft picks this season. Likewise, with the 7th overall pick, the drafted Jonathan Kuminga. He impressed the Bay with his performances in the G-league ignite. Kuminga put up 16 points, 7 rebounds, 2.7 assists and almost one block. He is a great two-way player and a valuable addition to the Warriors’ roster.
- Moses Moody
- Otto Porter Jr.
Outgoing players
- Kent Bazemore
The sharpshooter made his way back to LA this season. He played in 67 games for the Warriors last season and averaged a little over 7 points per game. However, he prides himself on his shooting and defence while on the floor.
- Kelly Oubre Jr.
The Warriors acquired Oubre last season from the Suns. However, he failed to make the impact that was expected. And now, with Klay Thompson returning, his place in the starting lineup evaporates. Hence, there are rumours he may sign with the Charlotte Hornets as a free agent soon.
