There were a lot of unsurprising actions off the court re-signing the skipper during the offseason in the league. However, they do raise some questions about how the team will line up next season.

Meanwhile, Klay Thompson and James Wiseman, who are also under Golden State Warriors contract, are taking their injury rehabilitation projects at Santa Cruz.

Despite the fact that Wiseman is still recovering after a successful surgery for a torn meniscus, he has a few hurdles to overcome before he can return to full activity.

Meanwhile, Thompson recovered completely from the torn left ACL and a sore right Achilles tendon – he has been a regular participant at all the workouts this week at Golden State Warriors.

Golden State Warrior’s Fans await a show

Like fans, Warriors coach, Steve Kerr is expecting them to return to the squad. “Klay will be scrimmaging. James will continue his work” said the coach before the game against the Clippers in Los Angeles. “I don’t think he’s scrimmaging yet. But Klay will be doing five-on-five.”

It is possible that some combination of those players could start together. However, it seems more likely that one or two of them will come off the bench.

This creates a dilemma for the opposition. The good news for the Warriors is that they have a lot of depth and can afford to experiment in this season.

With few of their best players such Stephen Curry, Jordan Poole, and these three getting back in the squad would change the course of the league and cause damage to the opponents. The Warriors remain the favorites to win the NBA championship next year and these moves make them even stronger.

Getting back to the Dubs is a good sign and it remains to be seen how well this new lineup will work. There is no doubt that it will be exciting to watch.
