The\u00a0Golden State Warriors\u2018 season might be over, but the greatness they represent is not.<\/p>\n

\"Steph<\/p>\n

It may be fair to characterize the team that remains in the Bay Area as the remnants of a dynasty. After all, the Dubs have missed the honest to goodness playoffs in three of the previous five seasons \u2014 two of which came via Play-In Tournament defeats and a third (2019-20) because\u00a0Klay Thompson\u00a0played zero games that season and\u00a0Steph Curry\u00a0appeared in just five, both due to injury.<\/p>\n

However, it must be recognized that Golden State captured a title in between their postseason absences (2021-22,) and that the franchise still boasts one of the best 10 players, or so, in the NBA on its roster in Curry.<\/p>\n

Curry reminded teammate\u00a0Draymond Green\u00a0of these facts with a powerful three-word message in the locker room at the Golden 1 Center on the evening of Monday, April 15, when their NorCal rival the\u00a0Sacramento Kings\u00a0ended the Warriors\u2019 campaign for the playoffs by way of a\u00a0118-94 rout\u00a0in the No. 9 vs. No. 10 NBA Play-In Tournament game in the Western Conference.<\/p>\n

Green relayed what Curry told him via \u201cThe Draymond Green Show\u201d podcast on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe not done\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Steph\u2019s message to\u00a0@Money23Green\u00a0after their season-ending loss<\/p>\n

\u201cRight after the game in the Kings locker room, I said, \u2018I love you, bro.\u2019 He\u2019s like, \u2018I love you, too. We ain\u2019t done,’\u201d\u00a0Green recounted.<\/p>\n

Curry\u2019s \u201cwe ain\u2019t done\u201d comment struck Green, which he went on to explain.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou right. Got it. Noted. Cool, we ain\u2019t. You right,\u201d Green continued. \u201cSo, to think that, like, we\u2019ve done these things \u2014 I love it. And we not done.\u201d<\/p>\n

Draymond Green Bears Brunt of Blame for Warriors\u2019 Season Ending Early<\/h2>\n

Counting the Warriors out completely as contenders going forward may indeed be foolishness, particularly if Green can stay on the floor.<\/p>\n

Golden State finished the year with a\u00a0record of 46-36, just three wins shy of the No. 6 seed and an exemption from the Play-In Tournament. Green missed 27 of the team\u2019s 82 games over the course of the regular season, including 22 due to multiple suspensions he incurred for on-court misconduct.<\/p>\n

Tim Bontemps of ESPN roasted Green\u00a0following the Dubs\u2019 loss to the Kings via the \u201cBrian Windhorst & The Hoop Collective\u201d podcast, which came out the day following the game.<\/p>\n

This night is Draymond Green\u2019s fault. And this season is Draymond Green\u2019s fault. If you wanna say, \u201cWhy are the Warriors losing today?\u201d It\u2019s all his fault.<\/p>\n

This team has dealt with his nonsense for a long time. And has excused it over and over again, as we all know, for years. When he played this year, they were 33-22. When he didn\u2019t, they were 13-14. They went 10-11 in the 21 games he missed with the two suspensions and whatever they called the \u2026 return-to-play process after he came back. If they win three of those games they\u2019re not in the Play-In [Tournament]. They\u2019re in the fifth or sixth seed, might be higher, we\u2019re not even talking about them today.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Warriors Could Be Better Next Year Without Klay Thompson, or With Him on Reduced Contract<\/h2>\n

While Green may be the primary culprit for the Warriors\u2019 woes this past season in an overarching sense, it was Thompson who came up the shortest in the Dubs\u2019 final 48 minutes of play.<\/p>\n

Thompson finished the night in Sacramento an abysmal\u00a00-for-10 from the floor\u00a0with zero points in what could potentially have been his last game ever in a Golden State uniform. The shooting guard\u2019s counterparts spoke of the good years he still has remaining in his NBA career and said, to a man, that they want him back in the Bay Area next season.<\/p>\n

That could be a quality outcome for the Warriors, though it will depend on the price. Thompson made more than\u00a0$43.2 million\u00a0for his work in 2023-24, which was\u00a0among the worst campaigns of his 13-year career\u00a0\u2014 two of which he missed entirely due to injuries.<\/p>\n

Golden State is probably well-bought on a new deal for Thompson at an annual average salary of less than $20 million, though it is unclear if such a deal would appeal to the long-time Warrior or not.<\/p>\n

If it doesn\u2019t, or if the Dubs feel their money is better spent elsewhere, the franchise may not be done yet \u2014 as Curry suggested to Green. But it will be done with the trio that brought the organization and its city four titles across an eight-year stretch, which is a death of the dynasty in its own right.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
