Well....I think Curry and Wiggins as a backcourt is not a horrible back court. I think we might get some surprise from that.

Curry, Wiggins, Paschall, Draymond, Wiseman. I think you can win with that starting 5.

Luckily for the Warriors we added Wiggins and Paschall last year....that will help. Who knows...maybe Paschall explodes on the scene.

Not seeing spash bro's will be tough....but I think Warriors can be a good story.

Why? if we have no shot of winning, and we are going full rebuild mode we should trade both Curry and Green. What is Curry going to do with rest of the Dleaguers and rookies?

With the delay in the diagnosis, the Warriors probably won't have time to apply for the DPE before the start of free agency.

If it truly is Achilles, we now have the worst contract in the NBA.

Paschall has been playing "Call Of Duty" this entire lockdown. That fool is taking a step BACK next year. Wouldn't bet on him.

As someone who lived in SF, I agree, they should have never left The Town.

Really with the contract situations the only way out of this muck is to do a total rebuild

I don't know about closed, but it's certainly shortened, this is the type of thing that could actually force them into early rebuilding mode, IDK. If Klay's out another year, we're screwed, they could win some games but realistically there's no shot at a championship. They probably didn't gameplan for this scenario right before the draft...

If Klay has a serious injury there’s probably a good chance he’s never the same guy again.

I’m not trying to be a doomer but Klay is just too vital to what makes this team elite.


He's definitely going to lose his explosion, which will affect him when he makes cuts while off the ball, and in being an elite defender. With the Dubbs having their pick and possibly Minny's pick next year, it may be time for the Warriors to start thinking about drafting a guard really high in the draft.

Except only Steph has value. Hard to rebuild with all that salary.

when the new CBA is passed and they bring back the amnesty clause... do we use that to amnesty Klay?

Geez... we don't even know the extent of the injury yet. Chin up everybody. And prayers that Klay will be OK.

Man prayers up. Devastating, ruined my mood and I'm a Raptors fan. Klay is an amazing person and elite competitor. This sucks.

Hoping we draft Jay Scrubb to audition to for some minutes with the big team. Got to love the name.
