As for the Warriors, they are one of the best franchises in the league.

That said, they finished the 2023-24 season with a 46-36 record, which had them as the tenth seed in the Western Conference.

They lost to the Sacramento Kings in the play-in tournament, so they missed the NBA playoffs for the third time in five seasons.
