ESPN predicts Golden State Warriors to struggle with 35-47 record

Summary

ESPN forecasts a challenging season for the Golden State Warriors, projecting a 35-47 record.

The prediction highlights the lack of depth in the Western Conference, positioning Golden State as a potential play-in contender without a strong record. Analysts suggest the Warriors may need to make significant roster changes before the trade deadline to improve their chances.
