At the top of the NBA between 2015 and 2019, the Warriors come out of two seasons without a playoff. A blow for this franchise which has not recovered from the serious injuries of Klay Thompson.
It is for this reason that when GM, Bob Myers, is asked about the key factor for the coming season, he does not answer Stephen Curry but the back of the Warriors. “I think it’s mostly down to Klay. With a healthy Klay Thompson, we are at the same level as the others ” considers the leader for NBC Sports.
Except that with two blank years, the sniper of the Bay raises many questions. “But I don’t know when or how he’ll come back to good health. I just expect him to come back. I don’t want to give a specific date because it won’t be for the start of the season, but we need him. “
With the potential return to the forefront of Klay Thompson, the offensive power of the Warriors would regain its superb, especially in the playoffs. “When you look at our playoff campaigns, Curry, Green and Thompson were playing 40 minutes. “
Return to the playoffs
Many teams have fallen under the heat of the “Splash Brothers” in recent years, but Steve Kerr’s men will leave far next season due to a team much less oiled than before, and a good squad. less snoring. “We’re going to need help” confesses Bob Myers before recalling the primary objective : “We have to return to the playoffs. ”
Like Klay Thompson, the whole team will need to be spared injury. If the executives are running at full speed, the residents of the Chase Center will regain their brilliance. ” With a healthy team, I don’t see any unbeatable team for us. When you look at the league today, with our core (Curry-Thompson-Green), Wiggins, Looney, Wiseman, Poole, Juan (Toscano-Anderson), Eric (Paschall), Damion (Lee) and everyone who are in the rotation, and assuming one of our youngsters brings in more than expected: yes, we are title contenders. “
However, one or two veterans to strengthen the bench would not be too much in this workforce composed mainly of inexperienced players in the playoffs.
