To say that the Warriors had a difficult season in 2019-20 is an understatement. The team ended the season with a 15-50 record, and stars Steph Curry and Klay Thompson missed most of the season with injuries.
However, they are alone in a single category when it comes to the current list.
Now that NBA transactions are complete for all but the substitute / substitute players, here is a fun little note:
The Golden State Warriors are the only NBA team without a single free agent pending for 2020. The 13 contract warriors have deals that extend through the 2020-21 season.

Thirteen players under contract, all of them extending to the next season. But the Warriors didn’t start the season that way. This was the Golden State roster when training camp opened in September 2019.

From the current roster, Curry, Thompson, Draymond Green, and Kevon Looney entered the 2019-20 season with several years remaining on their contracts.
Jordan Poole, Alen Smailagic, and Eric Paschall were 2019 NBA Draft picks and received standard rookie contracts with multiple seasons of team control.
Andrew Wiggins was three years old and had almost $ 100 million remaining on his contract when the Warriors acquired him on the NBA trade deadline.

Ky Bowman signed a multi-year extension with Golden State in February, sources told NBC Sports Bay Area’s Monte Poole. Bowman originally started out as a two-way player for the Warriors and also spent time with the Santa Cruz Warriors in the G League.
The same day that Bowman’s contract became a standard NBA deal, big man Marquese Chriss also signed a multi-year extension with the Warriors. Chriss had been a two-player for a few weeks after being released to make way for Damion Lee, who became a two-player and a full-time member of the Golden State roster.
Local product Juan Toscano-Anderson started the season in Santa Cruz with the Warriors’ G-League team, playing 31 games there this season before being signed to the Warriors roster in February on a multi-year contract.
Finally, Mychal Mulder impressed Golden State’s main office during his 10-day contract that the Warriors signed him in a multi-year deal in an announcement on March 10, just days before the suspension of the league’s coronavirus.
The exchanges could open up roster spots for Myers and the organization, but free agency won’t be much of a problem this offseason as all 13 players on the active roster are locked in for next season.
