Re: Play in games tonight. Lakers/Pelicans and Warriors/Kings.
At this point I think the Warriors best bet is to simply keep the core together for the next few years as fan service, and accept that they aren't going to win any more, then wait to start over in ~2026 when the big contracts come off the books.
They don't have much in the way of trade assets, and they are far over the cap, so they can't improve the team right now.

Who has trouble accepting this? You're in here 24/7 and have no life outside of ish, I'm sure you've got plenty of examples. Most people already saw this coming since last regular season.

Exhibit A. You're blaming kerr and thompson all season long for the shortcomings after 2022. Your reasons may be legit but sounded as if you're overlooking how washed the core is starting to become. They aren't young anymore ffs.
Re: Play in games tonight. Lakers/Pelicans and Warriors/Kings.
I wonder what team is going to throw some money at Klay Thompson after that stinker last night.

Your point was about people not accepting that the dynasty is done dumbass. I've already said in the 22-23 season that this team is done contending.
Re: Play in games tonight. Lakers/Pelicans and Warriors/Kings.
Warriors won 46 games this season. Crazy thing is, Draymond missed 21 games for nonsense.

Curry is too old to perform a carry job, but that is still a long way from washed.

Yes. Warriors were better than their record. But at the same time it’s been glaringly obvious that they are just too old and and unathletic as a team. This got exposed hard last season with the series vs the Kings but the Warriors were still able to squeak it out barely. The team as a whole right now is too small and too old. Warriors do have a good young core with Trace Jackson, Brandon P, Moses, and Kuminga. It’s lacking a bit in star power but if Kuminga keeps making steps he can change that.
Re: Play in games tonight. Lakers/Pelicans and Warriors/Kings.
guess klay is going return, I was interested in his offseason

Sure. But then again, you only mostly blame those two guys as the reason they're done contending. Might as well blame everyone else in the team if you have to. :confusedshrug:

I bet someone will probably be willing to offer 38mill for Klay on a multi-year in a s&t. Some crap organization like the Wizards
