During the offseason, the Warriors acquired Ricky Pierce from the Seattle SuperSonics. All-Star guard Tim Hardaway returned after missing all of last season with a knee injury. After having finished 50–32 the previous season, the Warriors made a number of deals to toughen the team in the middle by trading Billy Owens to the Miami Heat for Rony Seikaly. Before the season even started, second-year star Chris Webber began the season by exercising his option to become a restricted free agent, claiming irreconcilable differences with head coach Don Nelson. He asked to be traded, and the Warriors obliged, sending him to the Washington Bullets for Tom Gugliotta, who would later on be traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves for rookie Donyell Marshall midway through the season.
