Dejonte Murray going down last year (two years ago?) was painful; he looks pedestrian now.

They ran so well for like two decades but aren't looking hopeless like the Bulls after Jordan.

Actually would rather be them than Golden State at this point.

You don't think they will win next year if Thompson gets healthy?

Thompson + Curry + Green then you have Wiggins (or deal him for someone else), Wiseman #2 overall pick already averaging > 10 pts and > 5 boards with a full year under his belt.

Throw in a couple vets who want a ring......
Wiggins is worst player in the league. I mean he’s close to it just straight up, but with contract, no doubt the worst player. Never has had a single positive year.

Thompson was one of my favorite players, but ACL straight into Achilles post 30. I can’t see him being able to do any of the stuff that made him great besides shoot. His best attribute was defense, chasing guys and harassing them on the perimeter. You see a Durant looking decent though 8 games, but he’s moved full time to the 4 so he won’t have to chase guys on the perimeter where he’s likely to hurt the Achilles again, is 7 foot and can always get his shot off. I don’t see how Thompson returns as anything but shadow of former self.

Draymond has been washed for a few years off his peak. Adding another year to his age won’t help. That style he played took its toll.

Wiseman looks like he has some skills, but even if he pans out, it’s probably year 3 or 4 when he becomes truly useful, and that’s too late for Curry.

I don’t see it at all.
