The warriors are going to ride the big three to the end and be absolutely terrible for 2-4 seasons because of it. Then get horrible lottery luck and be pretty bad for another couple of seasons.
Hard to imagine there’s going to be much optimism when 30, 11, and 23 hang it up.
The warriors won't be in too bad of shape they'll just need to start over. Curry was picked at 7, Thompson 11 and Draymond in the 2nd round. They're a perfect example of why taking isn't necessary. You don't need the #1 pick to get talent.
It's pretty notable that the Warriors haven't repeated this feat in over 10 years. Since the Draymond draft, they've been moderately successful with Loon, hopeful about Kuminga, and I'll leave Poole for others to judge, but certainly no all-stars so far.
Granted it's early, and I wouldn't yet write off Wiseman or some others, but let's not pretend that starting over is easy because the Dubs have the draft game figured out.
Oh yeah I don't mean it's easy but they'll be in the same boat as every other team. The idea that they'll be in a historically bad place isn't really right. I'm not a GSW fan but their success shows the possibilities for other franchises especially as an alternative to bottoming out and tanking.
