Veteran forward Andre Iguodala plans to remain with the Golden State Warriors next season, and he believes that the team can also retain its core group in order to make another run at the championship.

Two of the Warriors' best players are set to become free agents this summer; All-Stars Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant. While a lot of people believe that the former will re-sign with the team, the same thing cannot be said about the latter, as there are rumors that KD is planning to join the New York Knicks.

The Warriors are down 3-1 in the best-of-seven championship series against the Toronto Raptors, and they might see their season come to an end on Monday if they lose Game 5. The result of the Finals might have a significant impact on the decision of their free agents this summer.

Over the past five seasons, no team has been more dominant than the Dubs. They have won three of the last four championships and they have cemented their legacy as one of the greatest dynasties in the history of the NBA. Retaining their core group would mean that the Warriors will remain as a legitimate title contender, and that should be the front office's top priority if they lose to the Raptors.

As for Iguodala, he has addressed questions about his retirement recently, and while it doesn't seem like he's planning to walk away from the NBA in the foreseeable future, losing in the Finals would definitely motivate him to play next season, and if the Warriors' All-Star core decides to stick together for one more run, then it will be good for the team and its fans.
