It’s seemingly with every Golden State Warriors loss that the swirl around the franchise needing to a make blockbuster move intensifies.
The Warriors saw their three-game winning streak snapped in last night’s loss in Denver to the Nuggets.
Golden State built a comfortable double-digit lead but was unable to keep its foot on the gas. Sunday’s loss marked the team’s 39th of the season.
Many Warriors fans conceded hope on the season the night star swingman Jimmy Butler went down, even though the Dubs are still fully guaranteed a shot at playing a first round playoff series.
But with how the season has gone, with numerous injuries to note, there is understandably minimal optimism for the rest of the year. But that’s not to say the Warriors faithful aren’t expecting something major to happen this offseason.
Oh, and maybe star point guard Stephen Curryis in that same boat.
Curry has been out an entire two months with knee trouble and has little runway left to make a return and shake off the rust before the play-in tilt. While he’s ever the competitor, perhaps even the two-time MVP realizes inside that he’s better off putting his marbles into next season when he’ll be fully healthy and ready to make another push.
Golden State Warriors star would reportedly welcome a summer splash
Much has been said about Curry’s Warriors since they nabbed the Larry O’Brien Trophy four years ago.
The majority opinion suggests Curry isn’t in a position to compete for championship as things currently stand. So something will have to change.
Either Curry goes, or Golden State grants him a wish. And it’ll need to execute some front office magic to truly satisfy that wish.
Curry, 38, understands his time is unquestionably now. And it’s running out with each passing day. Help is needed immediately.
Golden State has been rumored several times in recent years as a team in the play for a major superstar, most notably LeBron James. The franchise also reportedly was aggressive in attempting to grab Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Milwaukee Bucks ahead of the trade deadline in February.
