Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green said his team should evaluate all options this summer, including chasing a star. The Golden State Warriors rely on their stars to build the dynasty. However, Draymond Green and Stephen Curry are the team's only remaining players in the 2015 championship game. After losing to the Minnesota Timberwolves 110-121 in Game 5, the Warriors ended the dramatic series and knocked it out. Afterward, Green answered questions about the team's offseason plan.

If the Warriors decide to chase the stars, they have the chips to create an attractive roster, including Jonathan Kumingga. The young winger proved himself in the second round after Curry suffered a hamstring injury in Game 1. He is the core of the Golden State Warriors’ possible offer to the Milwaukee Bucks Giannis Antetokounmpo.

According to ESPN reporter Ohm Youngmisuk, Green did not refuse the team to introduce a fourth star. The previous defensive player of the year believes his management will give the team the best chance to win.

"When asked if the Warriors need another star or more supplemental players, Draymond Green said the Warriors are ready and either way, Mike Dunleavy will make the right decision," Youngmisuk said. "He pointed out that bringing in a fourth star doesn't always work. But he said it's always good to have someone who can trade if there's one." The Golden State Warriors made a big move by this year's trade deadline, bringing in Jimmy Butler. Unfortunately, "playoff Jimmy" cannot make up for the loss of Curry. After winning the first game, the Warriors suffered four consecutive losses and faced many questions during the offseason.

The Golden State Warriors tried a "double timeline" strategy centered on James Wiseman in the past few years, but it didn't work. Today, the team has an interesting combination of veterans and young stars with Kumingga and Brandin Podzimsky as the core. Kumingga performed better in the second round, increasing his potential trading value.

If the Golden State Warriors want to compete for the last championship in the Curry era, bringing in another star like Antetokounmpo might be their only option.
