The 2016–17 Golden State Warriors season will be the 71st season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and its 55th in the San Francisco Bay Area. Golden State will enter the season as runners up in the 2016 NBA Finals, after a record breaking regular-season in 2015–16. With the acquisition of free agent Kevin Durant in preseason, the Warriors were hailed as a "Superteam" by the media and fans, forming a new All-star "Big Four" of Durant, Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson.[1][2][3]

Season synopsis

Preseason

The 2016 NBA Draft was held on June 23, 2016, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Golden State chose center Damian Jones with the 30th pick of the first round. The Warriors also acquired the draft rights of swingman Patrick McCaw, the 38th pick of the second round. Warriors forwards Harrison Barnes and Draymond Green and guard Klay Thompson were selected to participate on the 2016 USA Basketball National Team that will compete in the 2016 Olympic Games. The Warriors are the only team with three representatives on the Olympic squad. Stephen Curry withdrew from selection due to injury.[4]

On July 4, seven time All-star forward Kevin Durant announced he was leaving the Oklahoma City Thunder to join the Warriors.[5][6] To clear cap space for Durant, the Warriors traded Andrew Bogut to the Dallas Mavericks and let free agents Harrison Barnes, Festus Ezeli, Marreese Speights, Leandro Barbosa and Brandon Rush leave, in a massive roster overhaul. Golden State added Mike Brown as assistant coach on July 6, replacing Luke Walton, who left to take over as the Los Angeles Lakers head coach. The Warriors added veteran big men Zaza Pachulia and David West to their roster and retained guard Ian Clark and forward James Michael McAdoo.
