Yah, as @Chris_77 alluded to, it's probably more indicative of the other guys sucking. JK has been just abysmal after he started off the season pretty well. I don't know if he's even tradable at this point.

The roster is ancient and the depth still sucks. Horford is pretty much useless and Steph is breaking down. Barring some miraculous turn around, I don't even see this roster making the bubble frankly.

Sad to see the end of the dynasty. JK was DNP the other night I saw.

It had to end at some point. I was in favor of blowing this thing up and stock piling draft picks but management went with the aging veteran angle to help Steph which just hasn't worked out. Plus they just haven't been able to develop young talent.
 

I wonder what they can get in return. Need front court scoring/rim help. Horford can't be relied on consistently. Team has enough undersized guard/small forward types.

Go Blazers. Just talking shit. I don't fucking care.
 
I used to love basketball. I never watch it anymore or follow it much. I tried a year or so ago but no bueno.

Blow this team up and send Steph to a contender.

Easier said than done. There aren't many teams out there that can put together a salary matching trade package that makes sense for the Warriors. It's more likely that the Warriors make a trade to bring someone in than send someone out, with AD being the most logical choice. I guess there's the Giannis dream but that's pretty unlikely.

NBA is so confusing I can't get my head around it. I just know this squad is going to do about the same as last year at best.

In a general sense (there are exceptions), you have to send out roughly the same amount of salary you're bringing in. That in of itself isn't the major hurdle, it's that a team interested in bringing a Steph Curry in realistically doesn't have the salary to send out that would appeal to the Warriors. They're trying to compete, so they don't want to send out good, high dollar players. Shitty players are ok as long as they're expiring contracts but you don't want to take on a bunch of garbage contracts and have your cap tied up for the next couple of years. They also probably don't want to gut their roster to make up $60/m in salary. The one trade that actually works is Steph for LeBron, but fuck that shit. I have a hunch they'll make a run at Anthony Davis using either Draymond or Butler. Or just try and flip Kuminga and Buddy Hield plus picks for a solid starter.

A healthy Davis could do wonders for us but I don't think that guy exists anymore.
