Newly-appointed Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. has already been busy this offseason as he looks to reshape the team's roster.
Already pulling off a draft night trade to acquire Chris Paul from the Wizards in exchange for Jordan Poole, the Warriors now turn their attention to free agency, with several key names hitting the market including veteran leader Draymond Green and shooting guard Donte DiVincenzo.
As they look to bounce back from a second-round exit at the hands of the Lakers, the Warriors' moves so far indicate they are still in win-now mode as they key in on maximizing the remaining years of Stephen Curry's prime.
Which of Golden State's players are the most important to retain? Here's what you need to know about the decisions the Warriors have to make.

Full list of Warriors free agents 2023
The Warriors have seven free agents this offseason.
Draymond Green and Donte DiVincenzo both had player options for the 2023-24 season that they have declined.
Additionally, Andre Iguodala, who was rumored to be retiring at the end of the 2022-23 season, has yet to officially announce his plans for next season, while JaMychal Green will also hit unrestricted free agency.
Anthony Lamb, Ty Jerome (two-way) and Lester Quinones (two-way) will be restricted free agents.

Ranking the Warriors' top free agents of 2023
1. Draymond Green, PF
Green opted out of his $27.6 million player option for next season to become an unrestricted free agent.
The 33-year-old is reportedly drawing interest from several teams around the league, with the Kings, Grizzlies, Pistons and Trail Blazers interested in signing him to a long-term deal. However, the Warriors appear to be in pole position to bring him back on a three-year deal that would line up his contract with Curry, per NBA insider Marc Stein.
Green's impact on the Warriors on both sides of the floor remains as important as ever.
"If Draymond is not back, we're not a championship contender," Steve Kerr said after the Warriors were eliminated from the postseason. "We know that. He's that important to winning and to who we are."

2. Donte DiVincenzo, SG
DiVincenzo opted out of his $4.7 million player option for next season, just one year after signing with the Warriors in free agency.
He proved to be a consistent figure for the Dubs, appearing in 72 games (36 starts) in the regular season and all 13 of their playoff games. He provided solid defense, passing and floor-spacing with averages of 9.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game on 39.7 percent shooting from the 3-point line.
3. JaMychal Green, PF
Green struggled with consistency, appearing in 57 games for the Warriors this season as part of a bench unit that largely underwhelmed through the regular season.
Despite his struggles, he still managed to knock down 37.8 percent of his 3-point attempts and made a surprising run of two starts in the second round against the Lakers, including a 15-point outing in Game 2, in place of Kevin Looney.
4. Anthony Lamb, SF
Lamb's two-way deal was converted to a standard contract as they looked for backup for Andrew Wiggins on the perimeter ahead of the postseason.
Amidst Golden State's reserves' struggles, Lamb was somewhat of a surprise contributor off the bench, appearing in 62 games and recording 14 double-digit scoring nights, including a career-high 26 points on Jan. 7 against the Magic.
For the season, Lamb averaged 6.7 points and 3.5 rebounds on 36.7 percent from the 3-point line.
5. Ty Jerome, PG
Jerome signed a two-way contract with the Warriors on the eve of this season and was a surprising contributor off the bench, appearing in 45 games and providing some steadying minutes as a backup point guard.
The Warriors opted to convert Lamb's two-way contract to a standard deal, meaning it's unlikely Jerome returns to The Bay next season.
6. Andre Iguodala, SF
Various injuries limited Iguodala to just eight games this season, with the 19-year veteran expected to hang it up after the 2022-23 season. Prior to the season, he told Curry that "this is the last one” on his podcast.
At 39 years old, it's hard to imagine the Warriors using a roster spot for the one-time Finals MVP if he did decide to return.
7. Lester Quinones, SG
After going undrafted, Quinones spent most of his time with the Warriors' G League affiliate in Santa Cruz.
In 31 regular season games in the G League, he averaged 21.8 points, 7.0 rebounds and 4.6 assists.
