As the Phoenix Suns gear up for what they anticipate will be a lengthy postseason campaign, it appears that a once-dominant force in San Francisco, the Golden State Warriors, has stumbled. Their defeat at the hands of the Sacramento Kings in the play-in tournament has sent them into an earlier offseason than usual.
The nucleus of the Warriors, featuring basketball legends like Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green, might have concluded their tenure together on the court. Speculation has already emerged regarding Thompson’s potential departure to another team on the cusp of contention during the upcoming offseason. The future of Curry and Green remains uncertain, though both are deeply ingrained in the Warriors’ identity and legacy.
