Overview
- Steve Kerr publicly called Golden State a fading dynasty, and Draymond Green agreed on his podcast, citing the aging core and staff turnover.
- Green pointed to tenure as evidence, noting Stephen Curry is in year 17, he is in year 14, and former teammate Klay Thompson has departed.
- The Warriors are 17-16 and in eighth place in the West, underscoring an uneven first half despite a defense regarded among the league’s best.
- As a repeat tax payer, the team faces tight cap constraints, and The Athletic’s Sam Amick reports the front office is staunchly against trading Green and is also unlikely to move Jimmy Butler.
- High-end star pursuits have been floated in reports, but more attainable options such as Pelicans wing Trey Murphy III are considered, with younger Warriors pieces in the mix.
