One of the most intriguing teams in the NBA next season, which will kick off Tuesday through Wednesday, is undoubtedly Golden State.
The Warriors arrive in 2021/22 with renewed hopes, after a season that Steph Kerry finished as the king of the baskets, and with great anticipation for Clay Thompson's comeback to return to the pitches during the season after two years out.
San Francisco hopes the special charm of Steph, Clay and Raymond Green will be restored and yield improved results over recent years, which have been a little less competitive.
In fact, there are those in the team who are willing to even talk about a championship.
"With all the tools we have, we are definitely a champion-caliber team," claimed Andrew Wiggins yesterday, who slowly got into things after getting vaccinated and returning to the team frame.
"We have wonderful veteran players, we have young talents, we have a good connection, a lot of players who can score. I think it will be a special season for us."

Steve Kerr also raises the bar of expectations from the team, saying that "obviously we are aiming high this season, because that's how the league works - there are times you have to rise above them, both as a coach and as a team. I think we will have a really good season."
But alongside the new optimism, there are also intrigues and question marks.
According to Athletic, Kerry and Raymond Green are frustrated by the management's decision to release Avery Bradley, who they believe could have helped the team in the playoffs thanks to his rich experience.
"It's true that Bradley did not look particularly good in the pre - season, but the Warriors stars believed this was not a cause for concern, and were convinced that a proven and experienced player like him would help them greatly," said reporter Marcus Thompson.
"They believed he would help them get to the later stages of the playoffs."
The criticism continues.

For Green, it may be an ongoing tension.
Over the summer, Green surprised when, during a joint interview with Kevin Durant, he pointed an unequivocal finger at Steve Kerr and general manager Bob Myers, regarding the issue of KD's leaving the team.
According to Green, Kerr and Myers were really responsible for Durant's departure, and the explosive situation between him and the Brooklyn star had no real impact on his future.
Either way, the Warriors are coming into the season in non-ideal condition, despite hopes of returning to the championship fights.
