Eyes around the league will be looking at the Golden State Warriors and how they perform this season after not making any big-time moves to help Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. There were talks that the Warriors were interested in Paul George and Lauri Markkanen during the offseason, but a deal never came to fruition. The big question now is if the Warriors still believe that Curry and Green can lead the team, and the Hoop Collective podcast discussed the topic.
“The biggest thing with Golden State is that they have acted this summer like a team that believes on some level that Steph and Draymond are good enough to be the two best guys on a team that can go really far,” Tim Bontemps said on the podcast. “They’ve at least tried on really good players.”
“I agree with you on Steph but if they had gotten Paul George, Draymond would not have been the second-best player. If they have gotten Markkanen it’s debatable,” Tim MacMahon said.
The Golden State Warriors have a mix of veterans and young players, but the question is who will they buy into more. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green have led the dynasty for over a decade, but they’re aging and may not have much value in the near future of their careers.
Curry has admitted that he wants to be on the Warriors until the end of his career, but things change.
“I can clearly say I want to be a Warrior for life,” Curry told Yahoo Sport’s Vincent Goodwill. “It’s always been my goal, and I’m saying that sitting in this chair right now, but like you said, life, and especially life in the NBA, it is a wild environment, and things change quickly.”
