The Golden State Warriors had an exceptionally busy and successful offseason.  Here are reviews and grades for the transactions made by the 2017 NBA champions.

The front office of the Golden State Warriors barely had time to bask in the celebration of the team’s 2017 NBA championship before having to shift focus to the looming free agency period. With only five players under contract for the 2018 season and beyond, the executives for the Warriors were in line for a busy summer.

Not only did the Warriors re-sign key free agents, they also brought aboard veteran rotation players and promising rookie prospects. Kevin Durant accepted a contract for less money than what similar superstars were getting paid. Also, veterans of various ages and backgrounds decided to take a pay cut in order to compete for a championship.

Depending on how 2018 and future seasons play out, the summer of 2017 could prove to be a historically good one for the Golden State Warriors. Here we review and grade each of the offseason transactions made by the world champions.
