Is the Golden State dynasty over?

[CitySushi]

I'm going out on a limb and saying Austin Rivers is a Warrior next year. He's the type of guy we could use off the bench for some scoring and to act as Combo guard. Benefit for him, is he no longer has to guard Steph, lol.

Hopefully the Warriors retool with some guys who aren't necessarily specialists.

Dream scenario is:
Resign KD, Klay and Looney
Use MLE to sign Rivers
Draft Cam Johnson
Sign Robin Lopez to a vet min deal

Realistic scenario:
Resign Klay and Looney
Use MLE to sign Wes Matthews
Draft Carsen Edwards
Hope Damian Jones and Jacob Evans develop into quality reserves.

I may be crazy but I would not be shocked to see Kawhi sign with GS if Durant leaves.

Doubt it - Kawhi wants a maximum contract - but if both KD and Thompson leave, then the Warriors would have enough money under the cap

Sin every year?

Let's assume Toronto closes this out, the most likely outcome KD or no.

Lots of hot takes about this being it, it's done for good.

Let's look at things:

1. While some dynasties ended in a lost Finals (2004, 2014), sometimes a team loses but then comes back and wins another or two (1980s Lakers and Celtics for example).

2. KD might not leave. Before this series the narrative looked pretty solid, oh look they don't even need him, they play better without him, took care of Portland no problem, KD needs to go be wanted elsewhere. This series has changed that completely. He is obviously needed and the best player on the team, maybe that changes his plans (which I doubt he ever really had decided yet). And is there some perfect scenario for him elsewhere? The Clippers? The Knicks with that shitshow management? If he comes back obviously they are still rolling.

3. Even if he does leave, it's not like they turn to shit. They just go from being prohibitive favorites to one of a few contenders. They still have lots of talent (assume Klay stays), and it's not like they will stand pat. They will shore up the bench, look for other productive vets to fill the bench, hopefully keep Looney, add some depth. Another title is far from impossible with their big 3 still there.

So the future is unknown. Win or lose this year, they will still be in the mix for a couple more years.

I'm thinking they could get Kawhi. Why not? Better than KD.

You're thinking wrong, again. They can't afford to add a new max player, they only can sign KD because of Bird rights

If he's interested, you may be able to pull a sign and trade with the Raptors with Draymond or find a way to clear some cap space. Be inventive dude, stop thinking inside the box, doofus.

The dynasty is far from over. The GS front office is too good and too smart. I expect Curry and company to win at least 3 more, no problem.

And if she's interested I may be able to pull Mila Kunis over to my house for a threesome with me and my wife. But don't bet on it.

 

[Zooky]

They’ll be a contender to win it all every year as long as they have Kerr, Steph, and Klay.

Doesn't hurt to have Draymond Green either.
They should be able to retool pretty quick, if they lose KD.

Can they stay focused?

If Kawhi tells the Raptors that he is defintely leaving for the dubs then Raptors may want to at least get a solid piece for him which would entice them to do the deal.

"AT LEAST 3 more no problem" LOL
