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.
All of this, even after Curry went nuclear on Portland tonight lol.

Klay may return and be an effective scorer but as BCR notes, his ability to defend is what will suffer. And he's fully maxed beginning this year. Ouch.

I also don't think Steve Kerr has shown any coaching chops yet.They may still adjust this year but they made minimal changes to their offense and no longer have superhuman talent.

Best case with Wiggins is he has a good stretch and a dumb team bites. Few of those remain.
