In order of importance...

Steph stays healthy.
Dray stays healthy, finds his 3 ball
Klay returns and looks good.
Russell fits in, plays more off ball, defends
Kerr adapts to Russell, gives burn to the kids.
Kevon knocks down threes at a decent clip
Caulley Stein shows some value, cuts the bullszit
Some of the kids develop, become reliable
Sneak into the playoffs and spin a fairytale

A ring would be nice however, if we could at least make the conference finals and contend, that would also be nice. I want this team to put the NBA on notice that we haven’t gone anywhere and we are just as good as the best of them. I feel as if the warriors are getting underrated. WCS providing that inside presence/defense would definitely propel us as the favorite to make it out of the West.
The scariest question in NBA history.

Watching the game tonight really makes me want to see how WCS will work (or not) as a rim protector. It’s going to be an interesting year.

Seeing how he's never averaged more than 2.2 blocks/100 possessions in his career, my guess is that it will be far more of "not" a rim protector than the converse. He has been a decent defensive rebounder and good defending the PnR on the perimeter, but rim protecting....not so much.

Yeah, he has not been a decent rim protector at all in the NBA but he was exceptional in that department while at KU. I’m just hoping he can revert back to his old defensive standout self. I don’t have particularly high hopes about it but I’m trying to keep an open mind.

It's probably more of a personality/mindset thing than physical ability. In one interview, he said he didn't like to block shots because he might "hurt my hand". Without anymore context, that just seems like a pretty lame excuse for a 7-foot center where shot blocking is a key part of your job description.

A successful season for me is all about setting up next year....

1) Have Steph, Klay, and Dray healthy going into the 20-21 season.
2) Explore the trade market for D-Lo and see if he can land you another really good player at a position of need...small forward.
3) Secure a middle or early 1st round pick in the 2020 draft.
4) Re-balance the roster and improve the bench heading into next season.
5) Develop Poole into the type of bench scorer the Warriors have been lacking.


And last but not least...Steph and Draymond need to start recruiting Giannis or another star to force their way here.

Beat the Rockets in the first round
Beat the Clippers in the second
Beat the Lakers in the conference finals
Beat Toronto/76ers in the finals, or a Nets beat down if durant comes back.
curry wins fmvp in the greatest playoff run ever.

something like that would be considered a success.

Start with Evans and Poole showing improvement throughout the season, become useful NBA rotation players.

Paschal to a lesser extent.

But I guess the team might have to keep those players next year because of cheap contracts, so we're stuck with top-heavy roster which isn't as good as the previous 5 years.

I'd be pleased, but not impressed.

To me a successful season would beaking the Playoffs. Because this roster is a square peg round hole group right now.

This year is about finding who fits with Steph, Klay, Draymond, and Looney.

Does Russell fit? Not so sure yet. Do the Rookies fit? Is Willie a one and done? Will Chriss turn out to be a keeper and a good soldier?

We need to find out who forms a solid bench for next season? Who can fill the starting small forward spot? Klay?

Will we trade Russell for pieces? Does Russell fit otherwise?

Making the Playoffs would be gravy actually. Because as I see it right now, it's a tall task.

And, once the season is over, I want us to find a really good piece or 2 to use Iguodala's trade exception for.

Then of course the draft pick and which spot we end up at.

To me a successful (season I would be happy with) season would be:

REGULAR SEASON:
- Steph stays healthy and gets back in MVP conversation.
- DLo fits seamlessly within the offense.
- Our young new core DEVELOPS and gets experience while winning.
- Klay is back to finish
Last month and play in post season.

PLAYOFFS
- With the loaded Western Conference is love for Warriors to get into the second round.
- Young guys get meaningful playoff experience.
