I've got a feeling we might be seeing Steph remain this much of an offensive weapon for another 4 - 5 years. His game has never been based on explosiveness, and with the right conditioning, the stamina that he relies on for separation doesn't really tail off until you're in your early 40s. Just look at all the pro marathorn runners still setting a blistering pace in their late 30s.

Nobody in GSW probably wants to hear this, but your best bet at another championship would probably have been offloading Green and Klay for draft capital at the beginning of last season or this season, and using that as part of a package that gives you another blue-chip top 20 player. The other pieces would've fallen into place.

Also, as much as I like him, it'd be cool if an opposing player hits the dagger in GSW and mimics the nighty-night celebration, with the camera panning to Steph right afterwards lol.
