- Steph. GOAT shooter, HOF lock, 33 year old playing like he’s 28. Frequently the most unstoppable force in the league.

- Klay. Second most lethal volume sniper in the league, and plays excellent defense on top. Also heading to the Hall.

- Draymond. Unique talent that just wins. Top 5 BBIQ in the league. Possibly HOF.

- Wiggins. Still-young athletic wing playing the best defense of his life. Will be even more effective when Klay is back.

- Wiseman. Really young and inexperienced rookie who is still putting up 12/6 plus a block in only 21 minutes on 52%/34% shooting. As a center.

- Poole. Reborn into a more confident and craftier scorer, the future looks bright for him.

- Some unknowns in Oubre, Paschall, etc. but they have some talent.

- A likely #4 or #5 pick in a strong draft at the top.

- Our own pick, likely in the #10-#17 range (currently would be #13).

Sure, they have work to do to get back to championship contention, but come on, it ain’t that bad.

Well, Klay, Dray, Wiggins are considered 3 of the top 10 worst contracts. Klay can easily recover his trade value but still a big risk.
Dray's current on court value is overrated by our fans. The elite version of him died in 2019. Rip.
Wiggins is a below average to average starter level player. Better than expected but still meh. Klay can be below average to above average next year. I don't expect an all-star level guy right away.

Poole tbd. Oubre sucks, Paschall is a mediocre backup. Wiseman is positive in terms of trade value, beyond horrible in terms of on court value.

I have zero confidence on our fo to make the trades to surround Curry with the right pieces.

So positives: Curry+ young assets. Kerr is a top 10 coach. That is all.

Phase 3 wrote:Kerr is a convenient scapegoat for a roster that is poorly constructed. Does Kerr need to be better? Sure.

But you know why Kerr is getting scapegoated? Because Joe Lacob, his 2 kids, and Bob Myers have made quite a few blunders over the past couple years. And that’s putting it nicely.

This offseason is make or break. The front office better get its sh-t together and bring in win-now players for next year.

They ain’t going for win now players. They’re going to pin the hopes of currys last year on draft picks

They should have gotten someone with the mle this year
Most 4th Quarter Points in Final since 1991
1995 Shaquille O'Neal 11.5
2000 Shaquille O'Neal 11.5 (61.1% TS)
2015 Stephen Curry 10.8 (75.1% TS)
1997 Michael Jordan 10.7 (55.1% TS)
1998 Michael Jordan 10.6 (50.6% TS)
2011 Dirk Nowitzki 10.3 (68.0% TS)
