As a lifetime Warriors fan since 1973-it's more than time for a huge set of changes for this old, slow, expensive, small team. It's time!

[@Sadfun28]

Curry is 36 and he's about to enter his final stretch. What's best for Golden State is to focus on getting future draft picks. A new era has arrived sadly no matter how hard it is to believe but reality is harshed.

[@IamMrImpeccable]

Why focus on a rebuild when Stwph still playing like he is? Just sure up another 20ppg player and lean into defense. Cap issues mean Wiggins and CP3 need to go and Klay takes less.

[@julianbashir8277]

Klay has to go. Kerr won't reduce him permanently to a 20mpg bench player. 32 minutes and 0 points? That's insane. His stunk up last year against the Lakers. He can no longer handle playoff intensity. It's an absolute shame Anthony Edwards could have been the starting 2 guard for the Warriors right now.

It was strictly a financial move - the actual ramifications of that happens now in the off-season, with his expiring contract. The bonus was him mentoring the younger players, who have all said he had a huge positive impact on them. That's a nice bonus for a team with 4 really young players who they intend to be large rotation pieces going forward.

[@thesupremegentleman9372]

No hard decisions here. First you shake Klay hand and let him walk to get paid somewhere else and be someone else's problem now, then explore trades for Chris Paul, Draymond and Wiggins. Emotional attachment is what got you into this mess. Draymond should have never been brought back for that ammount of money.

[@ClipVerse1304]

Klay would not be a problem for any team as he will not be the focal point of team but yes a good contributor

[@trevorhandberry2158]

Correct. Klay COULD stay but Draymond MUST go. Wiggins MUST go. Chris Paul MUST GO!!! This team disappointed all year long. Draymond REALLY hurt this team with his antics this season. 2-3 more wins during the season and they wouldn’t be at home and out of the playoffs. SMH

Thx Costanza

[@robertvillarreal3038]

Every dynasty eventually arrives at this point. As a Spurs fan, I went through this starting about five years ago when the team was stuck in that average state for about three years. Eventually, the franchise pulled the plug and set itself up for a reboot. They lucked out last year by winning the Wemby lottery. With Steph on the roster, the Warriors definitely have some tough choices to make. How long do they wait before starting over? Is there any realistic scenario where they can win with Steph?

[@JosephAluko]

Sign klay to a vet min and get out of luxury tax. I will see what I can get if I trade wiggins. CP3 I will try to a tax dump with his contract too

[@wavy.7rev]

Klay will signs with the Magic if we sign him that much. Klay should take a pay cut.

[@russenterprise6502]

Just let Chris Paul walk and he can sign with the clippers to finish his career there but then let Russell Westbrook go back to OKC he can get a contract to finish his career there.

[@techworldwiz]

Bobby marks this is substandard reporting! How do you not talk about the next biggest elephant in the room Andrew Wiggins who did nothing in the seasons and it’s pulling teeth with him to have a good game. Most logically decisions is trade Wiggins and get that contract off the books give you more room to sign JK and play back maybe seek another wing scorer like Murray

[@joshuagaskin1520]

Kerr has been the big problem here

[@terencew7716]

It is going to be a long off-season in San Francisco

[@JosephAluko]

Cp3 should sign back with Phoenix for the vet minimum. They need a PG that can get them in and out of sets. Allows Booker to focus on scoring and doesn’t have to be a facilitator which sometimes takes away from his game

[@johnrath5049]

Klay Thompson isn't worth more than 10-15 million/year if even that. I don't care about his 18pts on 40% 3's. Doesn't positively impact the game (for GSW). Feel bad for him but is what it is.

[@tigera6]

I would give him 25mil/year as a loyalty bonus, but anything more than that is a no-no. The fact that GS still hasnt extended him probably means they couldnt work out the money.

[@DaGiantStud2576]

Ok lets face facts GS is not rebuilding as long as Steph is on this team,so they need to put the best product possible to maximize his window. 46 wins as a play-in is crazy in most years that would've been a 5-6 seed that shows you how deep the West is. GS needs a solid #2 option behins Steph, Klay isnt that guy anymore, still could be a #3 option on a championship team. Problem is the FA class for this year is horrific, they're not going to get Paul George, Maxey or anyone like that ubless theyre willing to pony up big $$ to them, so their best course is through a trade. Any trade offer for an All-Star is centering aroung Kuminga amd you're likely packing Wiggins, picks, etc to get that player, but if its only a marginal upgrade is it worth trading JK esp if that player is still not a #2 on a chip team. Unless youre getting someone like Dame, Embiid, someone who moves the needle best bet for GS would be to hold onto JK and trade Wiggins, but his trade value is so low you're basically salary dumping. This might sound wild, but we've seen what Wiggins is capable of when GS won the chip so they're not getting a player that can actually help them for Wiggins then maybe just hold onto him, hope he has a better season and trade him next year. E.g. Wiggins, Looney and a future 1st for Capela bc hes on an expiiring deal, helps GS with their size issue, an improvement defensively at C and gives you enough offense where he doesn't hurt you there and a chance to maximize JK floor that's the type of move im making other than packing him with other pieces to get a solid #2, that's my take of course

[@Jahnink]

Golden State season is over. That's all I wanted to hear. Sick of all the drama.

[@OldLadyGamersince1990]

Yeah warriors is just overrated. They became 4 time champion because of the aid of nba officiated games for them. Draymond always hurt someone without calling him a fragrant foul and always get away with that. Steph always shoot ridiculous 4 point plays because he is untouchable in the perimeter and if someone try then the refs are whistling against you. And when he attacks the baskets he never call for offensive fouls. Same with klay and the other guys around.

[@Jahnink]

@@OldLadyGamersince1990 They blew it when they didn't stand up as a team for Jordan Poole when he got violently assaulted by Draymond Goon. I lost all previous respect for the entire organization. Their collective ego ruined them. Good. A deal with the Devil; the Devil always wins.

[@manojkumarks8171]

​@@OldLadyGamersince1990watch the games properly first... Go and look at the statistics, Steph is the only superstar who never gets the foul calls he deserves..

Kum bucket is crazy😂

[@kingjb404]

Draymond Green got worked by Sabonis, and he didnt pull that choking or punching nonsense!

[@pandaventures6836]

CP3 & Wiggins' contracts are now key to finding more pieces Coz let's face it, you're not gonna get better immediately by letting Klay walk just like that. They'll need to get him a contract that matches steph/dray's in terms of years at a more $ friendly. so probably sign Klay at a more $ friendly contract, get more pieces for CP3 + Wiggins' contracts hopefully the development trajectory of the Kum Bucket elevates them back to a more competitive tier jackson davis, podziemski, those folks should work on surprising rookie years, get gp2 and moody into more consistent games/year and contributions the question then becomes what can you get out of CP3 and Wiggins' contracts maybe 2-3 other role players?

Let’s not forget they arent as mediocre as people say. Draymond was suspended for 12 games and also ejected in 4 of the games. They could’ve easily had at least 4-8 more wins and would’ve fell in the 4-6th seed avoiding the play in.
