If Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry’s tears after Draymond Green’s ejection in late March were any indicator, the Steve Kerr-led team went through the wringer this season.
Between attempting to keep up in a loaded Western Conference with an older team while simultaneously dealing with a half-involved Green—wwho spent the better part of the season either under scrutiny or attending counseling—ffighting for a spot in the Play-In Tournament was new for the Warriors.
Despite all of the distractions, however, Golden State kept itself afloat enough to face the Sacramento Kings in a 9-10 matchup of the Play-In with a chance to face the Pelicans for a spot in the NBA Playoffs. But it lost. It’s season ended at the hands of the team it sent home just a year prior, and it was clear that no longer were the Warriors the team to beat in the West.
Their dynasty had all but officially ended, with the early exit seemingly being the nail in the coffin.
So, now that they have an offseason to think through their roster, there seems to be one question that sits above the rest.
