The Warriors were the find of last season as they finally made their mark in the Western Conference, the first time since 2007. Stephen Curry came alive in the playoffs and with help from a finally injury-free Andrew Bogut and Klay Thompson, plotted the downfall of the much fancied Denver Nuggets.

To improve matters heading into this season, the signing of perennial All-Star small forward Andre Iguodala to a four-year, $48 million sign-and-trade would go a long way to give them the boost that they need. Iguodala’s presence alone would sky-rocket Warriors’ defensive efficiency from 19th to 11th and is an improvement over both Harrison Barnes and Thompson in term of taking over the play-making duties.

Iguodala’s presence however meant that the Warriors weren’t able to sign two of their potent weapons off the bench. Jarrett Jack and the hard-working Carl Landry were the price that the Warriors had to pay for Iguodala’s capture but that’s where Toney Douglas and Marreese Speights come in.

The bottom line of their season may however still be defined by the presence/absence of their oft injured Aussie, Bogut. If Bogut can remain injury free this season, then the Californians are going to have a hell of a time.
