Definitely time to tank. I would think that even their fans would understand. Get a high pick, regroup, and just look at this season as opening the new arena and nothing more. And don't bring Klay back, either, until next season. Perhaps look at trading Dlo if you think whatever they got back would help the team more going forward.
i thought they should have been in tank mode the minute Durant left. Even if DLO kept progressing there was no way they could make a splash in the playoffs with a rushed back Klay. _________________ (bleep) Kawhi

Dont bring back Curry or Klay this season
Rest Green as much as you can.
High use of DLO so his trade value rises
Trade DLO and the 2020 first round pick to surround Big 3.
That 2020 1st round pick was sent to Brooklyn, protected 1-20. So they can't trade it until the pick officially is set. Meaning, not until after the season is over.

This is essentially what I said they should do prior to this season. I would package the top three pick plus Green for a third star (from a rebuilding team) as Green is clearly in decline. Then I would trade DLO for depth. Just like that, they will be contenders again next year.
I’m surprised they were so bad this season with Curry, Russell, and Green. Makes me wonder how good Curry actually is since he can’t carry a team without Durant and Klay. (Russell and Green are better than Odom and Smush Parker.)
Will there be any long term damage to Curry’s shooting ability? _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

Brand new arena, completely garbage team....
I went to Chase Center last weekend for the Sara Bareilles concert. That arena, especially the bathrooms, is absolutely amazing. The best arena or venue I have ever been in before— so much better than Staples Center. Oracle Arena (went there to see Muse last year), on the other hand, is both garbage and in a sketchy area. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

Aren't all stadiums amazing when they're new? I was at the first Lakers game played in Staples Center in 2000 and it was amazing then and made the Forum look like a dump. Oracle is actually older than the Forum and we moved into a new arena 19 years ago. The area around Staples was still pretty sketchy when it opened but at least it was easier to get out of there.
I can't wait for the new Rams/Chargers stadium. I drive by it every weekday and it's massive. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant

I would hope so, the arena is 20 years newer than Staples Center.
Warriors were losing by 29 to the Suns at home when Steph got injured thats just how bad that team is this year. Now Steph can save himself for next year and they can have those other guys play and see who is worth keeping on the roster.

I thought the Dubs had turned a corner after the Pels game because they actually looked like themselves with crisp passing and cutting. I guess the Pels defense is just really, really bad. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant
I would not be surprised if they did something like what MSG did with their arena. The Staples Center revitalized that area, now its one of the prime public gathering spots in LA. I don't see them leaving the area, they just gotta do a top down refurbishment of the arena in the future.

Green had 6 triple doubles last playoffs alone. Curry proved he could carry a team before Durant got there. They played 4 games this year and you’re talking like they struggled the whole year. Trading Green would be a bad move. They’ll be back next year will join the Lakers and Celtics as the elite teams in the NBA. This year may be a blessing in disguise for the Warriors.

Throughout his career, Curry has had plenty of short streaks where he shot 3 for 30 from 3-point land or some such. Kind of goes with the territory when you're a bombadier.
Perhaps this was nothing more than one of those bad streaks that just happened to come at the start of the season. We'll never know since he got injured, so I don't see making any sweeping generalizations based on 4 games.

Defenses can key in on him now with Durant, Thompson and Iguodala gone. And his teammates looked pretty bad; definitely not players that are going to make teams pay when they double Curry.

I’m not convinced they will be elite because we don’t even know what the roster will look like. The big 3 isn’t enough. They need defenders. Iguodala, Harrison Barnes, Livingston and Bogut were a huge part of the team. Even without just Bogut they had a lot more trouble.
