[Slater] My sense of GSW’s desire entering FA to fill the final 3 spots this way: 1) Big man who can stretch the floor 2) extra Guard who can score at multiple levels 3) an additional Wing. Arent expected to extend QO to Lamb or Ty Jerome per sources. Are expected to extend Quiñones a QO for a 2-way

[Source Article by The Athletic’s – “Warriors free-agency preview: Which veteran minimum options make sense?”](https://theathletic.com/4641376/2023/06/28/warriors-free-agency-preview-nba/?source=emp_shared_article)

 

### Slater’s Sense of How the Warriors will Fill out the Rest of the Roster:

> The Warriors do seem to be operating under the firm belief that Draymond Green will be back. That would give them 11 committed roster spots

*Likely Leaving 15th Open*:
> New GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. has already indicated the Warriors aren’t expecting to carry a 15th, leaving it vacant to trim the tax bill. So you’re talking about three openings and only one kind of contract to offer: minimum.

*How They Will try to Fill Spots 12-14*:

> My sense of the Warriors’ overarching desire entering free agency would be to fill the final three spots this way: big man who can stretch the floor, extra guard who can score it at multiple levels and an additional wing. But the market will dictate what they can actually get done.

 

### No QO for Ty Jerome and Anthony Lamb. Yes QO (for 2-way) for Lester Quiñones

> Warriors aren’t expected to extend a qualifying offer to Lamb or Ty Jerome this week, per league sources, making them both unrestricted free agents. But there remains some level of interest in perhaps bringing one or both back, depending on how the market materializes. Put simpler: **Neither are first options, but both remain eventual options.**

>  

> Warriors are expected to extend [Lester Quiñones] a qualifying offer for a two-way contract, per league sources. Assuming he doesn’t get a minimum offer elsewhere for the regular roster. I’d expect him back on one of the Warriors’ two-ways.
