If the Golden State Warriors are looking to compete in the Western Conference in the next few seasons, they need more offensive firepower, but with Stephen Curry it isn't a team that only needs senior scoring threats in the offseason.

In the first round of the playoffs, Golden State's lack of body shape reappeared in the second round against Minnesota Timberwolves in the Houston Rockets. Rebounding and indoor defense are both weaknesses of the fighters in the playoffs, and the team will likely seek solutions in the summer.

ESPN's Shams Charania reported last week that the Golden State will be very "radical" in the free agency and/or trade markets, although how much people they can get is the subject of debate.

Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks can provide, and his relationship with Curry can help the Warriors conduct trade discussions on two MVPs. Their four first-round picks, combined with multiple second-round picks and first-round deals, as well as young assets like Brandin Podziemski and Jonathan Kuminga, will also play a key role in any potential deal.

But if Golden State can't pack big guys, one free agent option they might propose is Houston Rockets' Stephen Adams.

Warriors' James Homer's conversation on Sunday, May 18 suggested Golden State take a closer look at Adams during the offseason.

Adams is a familiar face for the Golden State Warriors, and the losses caused by Curry have been accepted throughout her playoff career. However, this is rarely due to the damage he is: While he is not a spacer and has had some problems with free throws, Adams is an experienced veteran who offers true central scale and strength that the Dubs have never had in traditionally. His introduction is similar to the more limited Andrew Bogut: a good screen holder and an underrated passer who brings the right toughness to the Warriors in history with precision.

The 6'11, 265-pound center will likely be a coveted player for many contenders, as his top offensive rebounding acumen, with good durability in addition to his injury, which prevented him from entering the entire 2023-2024 season. His numbers won't jump out of the page, but he's the kind of player who has an impact on aspects of the game, and the analysis is less traceable.

Adams, who will compete next season as 32, will receive a $25 million contract from Houston’s two-year contract.
