The Rebuild Thread

[wco81]

Warriors won't be able to hoard FRPs like the Rockets did trading Harden, OKC did trading away PG, Utah got for Mitchell.

They just need to keep getting more FRPs on the roster. Even mid round picks may turn into a very good role player or occasionally stars.

Ringer NBA podcast said they wished the Warriors did something, Butler, Levine, even Vuc, people who could score.

I would say preserve those draft assets no matter what but they haven't been drafting well for about 10 years now.

Lacob is in the business of selling Steph Curry tickets, that's his business. While hoping someone comes along via the draft to fill his place. Lacob doesn't want to go all in because going all in means what comes after will be bad. But Lacob also doesn't want to do a full rebuild because that means choosing bad till it gets good again. The franchise has to be uneasy about what ticket sales and sponsorships look like after Curry, remember he inititally acquired an irrelevant franchise selling $15 tickets. As long as Lacob can hover around being competitive he can sell Steph Curry tickets. This is what happened with Kobe at the end, he could've been a player on a contender. On another note, like Kobe it would've been fun to see him and MJ play the later years on teams trying to contend.

and that's exactly what is happening here.
