what happened to the GS warriors?

[EvilBetty]

I don't really follow nba until the playoffs and even them im a pretty casual watcher. what the crap happened to the warriors this season. Are they playing with only 4 players?

14/15 NBA Champions
15/16 NBA Finals
16/17 NBA Champions
17/18 NBA Champions
18/19 NBA Finals

currently 10-37. Dead last in the NBA

I believe it is injuries.

 

[CyCrazy]

Curry and Klay Thompson haven't played this year at all.

 

[clonedude]

It never helps when your best player, Durant, leaves and goes to the Nets in the offseason, then Klay Thompson is injured and out for the year.... and Steph Curry is also out with an injury as well.

They have nobody left that's any good, and yes that includes Draymond Green.... he's not that good.

 

[Rabbuk]

There's a very real possibility they have Klay, Steph and the number 1 pick all playing next year. Plus all their other good role players

Plus whatever they do in FA. They’ll be back but I doubt it’s at the same level as we’ve been accustomed to over the past 5 years.

wow, so they'll be back on top next year. what a huge blessing in disguise in all likelihood. maybe this will become the model of for more NBA teams. Get really close to the top. tank one season. get #1 draft pick. win championship.

I like that the NBA draft is a lottery to help mitigate that type of thing.

 

[Cycl1]

Should be noted that even if Durant didn't leave, he is also currently out with injury for the entire year.

And he seemed like the sticky wheel on that team from a chemistry standpoint, either he or green

Yeah I love the draft lottery too to help avoid tanking. The warriors players that are injured definitely aren’t rushing to get back from injury though. They certainly want that number 1 pick.

I expect them to be back in the top 3 in the West next year.

Kind of what the Spurs did to get Duncan.

Oh so basically they’re getting the San Antonio special?

 

[Rabbuk]

Ya except the draft is historically bad

Was just going to post this.

Also it's what the Cavs did to get Kyrie and Lebron (again)

 

[c.y.c.l.o.n.e.s]

This tweet sums it up pretty well.

Spurs situation was very diff. Robinson hurt his back and came back early in the year only to break his foot. Elliott had to have a kidney transplant. It was really uncertain whether Elliott would play again and both guys had very little tread left. Not to mention they still didn't have good odds to win the lottery based on their record and the way they did the lottery in those days. It was certainly lucky, but I don't think you can classify it as tanking by players milking injuries

 

[Fitzy]

Tyrese to the Warriors

 

[Dandy]

Almost their entire salary cap is going to four guys. Steph barely played, Klay hasn’t played at all, Draymond isn’t the same without an insane supporting cast and Russell isn’t worth the price they’re paying him.

 

[Dandy]

Tyrese to the Warriors

Watch these guys get James Wiseman with a healthy Steph and Klay, trade Russell for some assets and go right back into destroying people.

Tyrese to the Warriors

Good lord, could you imagine Tyrese dishing it to two of the best shooters of all TIME?
