- NBA Playoffs. LeBron and the Lakers secure Playoff spot and a rematch against the Nuggets
- Warriors. Stephen Curry leaves Warriors security astonished as they see how tall his daughter has grown
We could have witnessed the last game of Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green playing together on the same team. The NBA's most dangerous trio could have reached its end. The Warriors have been eliminated from the NBA playoffs after losing to the Sacramento Kings in a crucial play-in game.
All those moments of glory, relentless battles with LeBron James, championship rings, extraordinary records, could have come to an end. The future of Klay Thompson and a possible contract extension with the team hangs in the balance.
Does Steph Curry want to continue playing with Klay Thompson?
They've been the splash brothers, Batman and Robin, disruptors of any traditional basketball scheme, and beyond that, Steph and Klay have been brothers off the court. Steph found it impossible to hide his frustration with Green amidst all his suspensions and also when Klay Thompson went through a rough patch without finding his shot. From that moment on, Steph seemed bored with his teammates and carrying the team alone.
Of course, Steph will want to keep playing with Klay, but the reality is that the Warriors franchise is in a delicate situation. It's been a while since they've been contenders again. Management will have to decide between loyalty to the players who gave their all or laying the foundation for a better future.
Is Draymond Green to blame for everything?
Draymond has affected the Warriors, and there's no doubt about that. With his ejections, extended suspensions, and negative energy, he didn't allow for the continuity of chemistry among teammates. Steve Kerr's system couldn't find a consistent rhythm to become habits on the court. Draymond may have to accept a role coming off the bench; this could be a solution to awaken discipline and healthy leadership from the sidelines.
This discussion captures the uncertainty surrounding the future of the Warriors' core players and the team's overall direction. It highlights the challenges of balancing loyalty to established players with the need to adapt and evolve for future success.
