I think Warriors are finished after this year. Even if Curry plays great next year Draymond and Klay have already begun their declines. Chris Paul is not what he used to be.
Looney is decent but nothing special. I don’t see Moody ever being more than solid.
Kuminga is the wild card. To be a contender after this year Kuminga must become an All-star and I don’t expect that.
Podz and TJD look like great draft picks but they won’t be in their primes for 2 more years.
I am just counting the Warriors out as contenders after this year and to be contenders this year we need Wiggins Draymond and Klay to play as well as they did in the 2022 playoffs.
They're finished this season, they pathetically mediocre only because Steph is who he is. Their record vs top team is legendary tank tier.
If Wiggins Klay and Draymond get better by playoffs and play as well as they did in 2022 we have a chance to win a championship this year. But 2022 competititors were a bit weak because Celtics and Grizzlies were not experienced enough. This year’s Celtics, Nuggets, Bucks and even the Grizzlies might all be better than the 2nd best team in the 2022 playoffs.
Dray Klay and Wiggins probably won’t be as good as they were in 2022 playoffs but they could be that good. Klay was always a slow starter. Klay will be older but further from his injuries. Curry is still doing crazy good stuff and can steal some games. What if Klay gets hot?
There is no physical reason why Wiggins can’t be as good as 2022.
No Porter and Bjelica but our young guys could be better than Porter and Bjelica.
Will Chris Paul be as good as 2022 Poole?
I can’t count out 2024 playoff Warriors yet.
I made $1,700 betting on the 2022 playoffs Warriors because I saw the 2022 Warriors get their sh’t together a week before the playoffs.
To make the Curry Dynasty equal or better than Duncan Spurs and Magic Lakers we need one more championship.
I doubt the Warriors win the championship this year but there are 25 teams less likely to win the championship than the Warriors.
