Kelly Oubre Jr. might be the biggest steal of the offseason for the Golden State Warriors as he helps them build for the future. Oubre is entering the 2020-21 season on a high after registering career totals in points, rebounds and 3-point shooting in the coronavirus hit 2019-20 campaign with the Phoenix Suns. As the Warriors approach the backend of Steph Curry, Thompson, and Draymond Green’s prime, the Dubs will need to find stars to compliment second overall pick James Wiseman as Joe Lacob, Steve Kerr, and Bob Myers looking for a seamless transition to the future. With 72 games awaiting Oubre, he'll have the chance to earn a long-term and remain in the Bay. Given the Warriors’ willingness to spend big money keepIng Oubre wouldn’t be shocking, even if it would result in a historic tax payout.
