Now let me preface by saying I'm not a Warriors fan so I don't know all the details relating to their assets and outlook. That being said from my outside perspective things are looking grim right now. They lost CP3 and are about to lose Klay for nothing or close to it even with a S&T, they missed out on the PG sweepstakes, and using the mikal trade as a barometer for the current trade market, I struggle to see how they could go get someone like a Lauri Markkanen.
With all that in mind their roster seems pretty stuck where it is, and I they are barely even in the top 10 teams in the west and I doubt they jump more teams over the course of the offseason. While i do understand the philosophy of "as long as you have steph you can compete", I think there simply isn't enough around him at this point and not much they can do to make the team on the tier of say denver okc or dallas in the immediate future.
Instead of trying to cling on to being in the play in mix, should the Warriors at this point consider just ripping the bandaid by blowing the team up? They could get an absolute kings ransom for steph even at his age, even with potential issues thar may come from having to salary match for the receiving team (could involve a third team to reroute pieces), and could still get a respectable return for draymond and whatever other assets they don't consider as part of the future.
With these assets alongside their own pick for a loaded draft class next year they could Jumpstart a rebuild to come back very strong in a few years, with the alternative being just staying in limbo with steph for a few more years and then having to start compleley from scratch after he retires without great future assets. I know from a human aspect it may be a hard sell as most warriors fans and the organization probably wants steph to spend his entire career there, but you could still find hin a team where he can compete for a 5th title to do both him and the future of the organization right, and mabye even bring him back after a stint with a new team for a farewell year for a team that is ideally competitive by then again.
It's a tough pill to swallow but I feel like with where the Warriors are at right now blowing it up could really do the franchise right once you get past the immediate pain, but what do you guys think, am I out of line for this?
