Major key for Golden State: Health

The Golden State Warriors enter the 2017-18 campaign looking to win back-to-back NBA Championships and their third title in four years.

They don’t have any major question marks about their roster, as every major contributor is returning. And then some.

Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Andre Iguodala, JaVale McGee, Shaun Livingston, Zaza Pachulia and David West all re-signed with the team this summer. That’s great news for a team who knows each other better than anyone else.

They also added pieces such as Nick Young and Omri Casspi (sound familiar?) to the roster that already possessed a plethora of shooting. As hard as it is to believe, these simple additions should make their offensive attack even scarier than before.

There may be occasional positional battles to figure out on the back-end of their roster, but nothing major. At this point, Golden State simply wants to make it through the preseason without any major injuries.

If they can do so, they will consider the beginning of October a major victory.
