It’s not just like the Golden State Warriors haven’t tried in any respect to construct a reliable staff round Stephen Curry within the latter phases of his particular profession. Although they managed to squeeze one other title out of their massive 3 in 2022, the Warriors have been unable to hit on ready-now draft picks that might each pave the best way for the top of Curry’s profession and for as new period as soon as he left the world for good.
Determined to not totally waste Curry’s last years, the franchise made a determined transfer final yr that introduced 35-year previous Jimmy Butler into the fold that truly paid some dividends earlier than proving to be considerably idiot’s gold as this season has progressed. Issues took a flip for the worst when the now 36-year previous Butler, who has an extended historical past of accidents, was misplaced for the remainder of this yr (and sure most of subsequent) in mid January to a torn ACL, whereas Curry finds himself sidelined till no less than after the All Star break with a runner’s knee analysis. Barely hanging above the .500 mark, the writing seems to be on the wall for what has been a generational run for this franchise and their celebrity level guard.
Seeking to make a reputation for themselves as the following dominant staff, the San Antonio Spurs in the meantime have wildly exceeded expectations in Victor Wembanyama’s third season. Although the Warriors aren’t taking part in with a full deck of playing cards, each night time is an opportunity to get higher for Mitch Johnson’s squad. A win tonight on a highway SEGABABA heading into the All Star break would put a pleasant stamp on the primary half of the yr for San Antonio. It solely will get harder from right here on out.
