Warriors explore additional roster moves following Payton II's return
Summary

The Golden State Warriors have re-signed Gary Payton II to a one-year, $3.9 million contract. Despite this move, the team is expected to pursue further changes, particularly in the backcourt. With injuries affecting key players such as Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Moses Moody, the addition of another guard appears essential as training camp approaches. The Warriors are also eyeing veteran forward Kelly Olynyk as a potential addition to enhance their frontcourt depth. This offseason remains active for the franchise, which seeks to optimize its roster before the upcoming season.
