Warriors seek roster help after Klay Thompson's departure
Summary

The Golden State Warriors are exploring options to improve their roster following Klay Thompson's exit to the Miami Heat. After a disappointing 37-45 season that saw the team miss the playoffs, general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. emphasizes the need for talent to support Stephen Curry as he ages. The Warriors have re-signed Gary Payton II and extended Kristaps Porzingis, adding depth to the roster. Potential targets include Jonathan Kuminga, Bruce Brown Jr., and Cam Thomas, with the front office keen on building a competitive team before Curry's prime years close. Dunleavy expresses confidence in improving the roster, signaling an urgent offseason ahead.
