Step 1: Resign Klay $10.8M over 2 years, that's all I'll give him anything else feels like a overpay if someone else outbids oh well we need to keep the cap space for other things. Hopefully he would still stay in the bay despite this due to his loyalty and friendship with Steph and Dray
Step 2: Extend Kuminga, he's gonna be the face of the warriors when the big 3 retires and he needs to stay so Warriors extend him for a huge deal of 4 years that adds up to 44 million
Step 3: Break the universe signing Lebron James for 1 year of 40 million, Bron has always wanted to team up with Curry and Warriors finally make it happen. We can also draft Bronny round 2 ensuring he comes. This already puts Warriors in finals comps
Step 4: First trade, bring in an great tall defensive center which is what the warriors have always needed in Mark Williams. He has been injured for most of last season but I'm wiling to gamble he'll be exceptional this year. Also Seth for salary fill reuniting him with his brother. They give up Wiggins Saric and a first, defiantly a risky move for Charlotte to give up their 22 year old pretty solid center. Mark has been injury prone tho so they should want something healthier and Charlotte have always been easy to fleece. If they decline can just throw in Moody instead of Saric and that'll get it done
Step 5: 3 team trade to dump CP3, I know Warriors can just release him but I'd rather get something back out if it. Here they get a good backup center to Mark in Steven Adams and THT as a 3rd string bench player. As for the others why they do it Rockets power up and Jazz dive deeper into the rebuild
Step 6: With a little too many rosters spots they trade Gui Santos to OKC for their 2026 SRP back, simple trade
