THE Golden State WarriorsAfter four consecutive years of training camp at Chase Center, the team has decided to change locations this preseason and prepare on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. Following media day on September 30, the team will fly to Honolulu for a full week, culminating in a preseason game.
The decision to move training camp to a remote and expensive location like Hawaii is driven by multiple factors. While there is some consideration to reducing payroll and avoiding the luxury tax, the real motivation lies in the makeup of the roster for this season.
The Warriors face a notable generational contrast on their team. While veterans Stephen Curry And Draymond Green are in their thirties, several rotation players such as Trayce Jackson-Davis, Jonathan Kuminga, Moses MoodyAnd Brandin Podziemski are under 25 years old. In addition, three new veterans, Kyle Anderson, Buddy Hield and Anthony Meltonjoin the team in key roles, a situation that has not occurred since the 2019-20 season.
There have also been significant changes to the coaching staff this year, with the addition of veteran head coach and offensive strategist Terry Stotts and former NBA All-Star Jerry Stackhouse to bolster the defense. The changes are likely to result in a transformation on both ends of the floor.
Transition period
Recognizing that the franchise is entering a transition period with key contracts, such as those of Kerr, Curry and Green, expiring, management believes that this getaway to Oahu’s quiet North Shore will foster strong cohesion. Young talent, considered essential to the team’s future success, will particularly benefit from this shared experience.
