The coach and ownership are just hostages to nostalgia. They would rather see Clay and Green on the floor than actually win games.
To be devils advocate, when you've got an aging core and a player run league like NBA, it puts coaches in a difficult position when it comes to prioritizing games vs players getting their looks. I don't see the Warriors winning the title with Moody as the second option so maybe they think the problem will solve itself in the offseason when they can let Klay walk and try to retool
We literally can’t retool because of the luxury tax restriction. The only way we get a return on Klays bloated ass contract is if we trade him now
Definitely not. But Kerr's been banking on 2nd option by committee like back in 2022 when Poole/Wiggins/Klay took turns being that 2nd/3rd options. In that vein he should've left Moody on the floor when he had it going as the 2nd option instead of benching him.
Their window will be firmly closed next season due to salary cap and age. If they want to contend then a move needs to be made this year. This is the last season I think they can take a swing at the title.
